MV-22 Osprey Using Its GAU-17 Minigun Weapon System
Ғылым және технология
The V-22 Osprey is an American multi-mission, tiltrotor military aircraft with both vertical takeoff and landing and short takeoff and landing capabilities. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft.
The MV-22B is a variant for the U.S. Marine Corps. The Marine Corps is the lead service in the V-22's development. The Marine Corps variant is an assault transport for troops, equipment and supplies, capable of operating from ships or expeditionary airfields ashore.
00:00 - U.S. Soldiers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade got to train with U.S. Marine Corps Osprey pilots on aircraft familiarization and load training.
01:52 - U.S. Marines conduct defensive weapon system training utilizing the Remote Guardian System on the MV-22B Osprey. The DWS is remotely operated, belly-mounted, retractable, and incorporates a gunner station, targeting sensor and the GAU-17 minigun designed to provide suppressive fire. Proficiency with this weapon system increases the readiness for the Marines.
02:51 - U.S. Marine pilots transport troops and cargo with MV-22 Ospreys onto the San Antonio-class amphibious transportation dock USS New York.

I had always thought it was an experimental thing, not something the aircraft in service actually mounted.

It doesn't seem standard. Complicated system taking up quite some space.
So I guess they did it that way because they don't trust regular door gunners to not shoot the propeller blades, hehe.
That is so freckin cool ...
Cool flying coffin
Osprey has a minigun 😮
The avenger irl
Horses got nothin’ on Ospreys.
What if those propellers hit a bird or a metal piece flying in the air?
The V-22 Osprey is armed weapon for GAU-17 Minigun

How are these even used anymore, all the accidents theyve had in them is just unreal. My ass would never want to ride on one
