In addition to specialized troop lift helicopters, the Army’s Special Operations Aviation Regiment operates a modified Blackhawk helicopter, the MH-60L Direct Action Penetrator to provide close air support for special operations troops on the ground.

That’s a mean motor scooter, TC. Thanks!
Wow, haven’t seen you here before.
Guess I’m moving into the big leagues.
That’s a big honking helo.
Nah, DAPs are pretty small.
This is a big attack helo.
For a gunship, it’s bigger than a SeaCobra, or Apache
Is it just my monitor, or is it gray? It has an ominous look to it. I like it.
TC, I’ve been around for a good while. You just don’t remember me commenting before 😉 And big league I ain’t…I’m just a broke down old shipfitter.
Gee, and the AF pilots and their PAVEHAWKS like to try and use their guns “Fixed-forward-fire”…not so much. The’re better CSAR than gunship.
