The Sound of Freedom
In this footage, we witness U.S. Marines showcasing their firepower with the formidable GAU-21 machine gun and the M134 minigun during close air support training.
They are aboard the Bell UH-1Y Venom, also known as the Super Huey, a twin-engine, medium-sized utility helicopter designed by Bell Helicopter. This variant of the helicopter is nicknamed “Yankee” due to its designation letter, Y.
The minigun’s rapid-fire sound is mesmerizing, making it easy to forget the sheer devastation it can unleash as its rounds rain down. The precision of the piloting is equally impressive, and it’s remarkable how the crew maintains their balance despite the helicopter’s constant motion.
This display of skill and coordination is truly captivating to watch!
