2.75″ Precision Laser Guided Rockets

Folks, Team Tyranny is gearing up to deal with those 75 million white supremacist potential domestic terrorists, aka Trump voters, using the same tactics they used against ISIS and Al Queda in Iraq and Syria. Don’t take my word for it, they are on the record.

 
Somebody just sent me this OV-10 Bronco vs ISIS article link. It’s from 2016, but the information will have major implications for the possibly coming “war against domestic terrorism,” aka, “get rid of those evil racist deplorable Trump voters by any means necessary.”
Any light plane or helicopter can be used to carry small pods holding seven or more 2.75″ precision laser-guided rockets. These are not the unguided “area suppression” 2.75s from the old days; these little rockets are now able to even hit moving vehicles in built-up areas, with little or no collateral damage, making them the perfect choice for Team Tyranny during a possible CW2. And do it from long range.
 

Those Old OV-10 Broncos Sent To Fight ISIS Were Laser Rocket-Slinging Manhunters

 
“The news that the Pentagon was sending a pair of refurbished and highly-upgraded Vietnam-era OV-10 Broncos to Iraq to take on ISIS raised a lot of eyebrows. It was a new twist in a decade and a half of counter-insurgency warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan, where the United States has never used a light air support and surveillance aircraft. For many, the OV-10’s appearance in Iraq had been very long overdue.
Now, The War Zone reveals details of what the pair of OV-10G+ Broncos were doing in Iraq, and how they went about it with impeccable results.
The Broncos were used to find, fix and finish the enemy. In the past, this process was largely accomplished by at least two very different aircraft and platform communities, both of which usually had their own unique command and control structures. By condensing all the required capabilities into a single platform—the OV-10—the kill chain could be drastically compressed and save gobs of money in the process.
The truth is, OV-10s weren’t really close air support aircraft in the traditional sense at all—they were manhunters.”
“In some ways the Broncos wrote a new book on APKWS tactics during their tour in Iraq. When key officials were briefed on what the Broncos did during their time there, and hours of footage of the APKWS slinging OV-10s in action was shown, those officials were flabbergasted with what they saw.
The Bronco’s “match grade” MX-15HD FLIR turret and big high-def display in the cockpit make the aircraft among the most accurate precision strike platforms on the planet. Night after night, the OV-10s put this capability to work. Instead of blowing up buildings or convoys, Bronco crews were killing ISIS fighters standing in dark windows, or in a single truck surrounded by others.
As far as just how precise the OV-10 crews could be with their laser-guided rockets and high-end targeting sensors, the Bronco’s prowess in this department was almost freakish. It wasn’t just taking out bad guys in windows—they were doing the same with fighters hiding under eaves, overhangs, dense cover and in doorways. Essentially, the Broncos were flying snipers for special operations forces hunting ISIS in Iraq. They could observe with great clarity from on high, collect intelligence and stalk the enemy. They could also kill that enemy with incredible accuracy. Instead of using a sniper’s bullet, the Broncos used the Pentagon’s guided munition equivalent, laser-guided rockets.
One shot, one kill, even under the most demanding of combat conditions.”
(Read it all at the link)

Here is the 5-minute YooToob video of the company touting their amazing rocket upgrade sections. You just take any old “dumb” 2.75″ rocket, unscrew the warhead from the rocket motor, and screw their laser guidance section in between. Good to go!
The Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System turns a standard unguided 2.75-inch (70 millimeter) rocket into a precision laser-guided rocket to give warfighters a low-cost surgical strike capability.
This type of munition will be a primary weapon of choice when Team Tyranny, including the coming 100% “Woke” pro-commie military purged of evil conservatives, decides to finally take out nests of dangerous deplorables. No need to kick down doors and risk the lives of gun confiscators: just put one of these precision munitions through the roof.
People used to think I was exaggerating or using hyperbole when I wrote my Enemies Trilogy years ago. I wasn’t kidding then, and I’m not kidding now. Pay attention, this will be on the final exam.

    The human element that took the Broncos back to war was equally as impressive. The small cadre of Navy pilots were handpicked and were among the very best the service had to offer. All were weapons school instructors. The Weapon System Officers were from the Tomcat and Super Hornet communities, and had been embedded as special operations Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (forward air controllers) with SEAL units operating on the ground in the world’s most notorious hellholes.
    These senior-ranking and highly experienced officers had incredible insight into how SEALs operated on the ground and how to properly apply air power where necessary to achieve very specific effects on the battlefield. The experience and dedication of the Broncos aircrews were huge factors in making its experimental tour in Iraq so successful.
    The OV-10’s maintenance needs were also unique. The souped-up Broncos required just a single maintainer per aircraft, with the aircrews assisting in maintenance and support. It was an almost laughably affordable support footprint for an aircraft capable of identifying, hunting and killing the enemy entirely on its own.
    This barebones infrastructure also meant that the twin-turboprop powered aircraft were highly flexible when it came to basing. Crews could just load their gear in the OV-10’s cargo hold along with the maintainers, if needed, and self-deploy basically anywhere including austere and improvised airfields.

      So the challenge is to catch Broncos on the ground, or perhaps to target WSOs when they’re not slinging rockets.

    • Luke March 3, 2021 at 20:00

      The tech this day and age is what makes this situation unlike those of past conflicts, but I guess same could be said during some of those times. These things don’t look like much but who cares if they get the job done. So here’s the million dollar question; who is going to fly them? Matt you said some top guns participated in these little death machines. I would like to think if men like you were in the Navy, Army, etc you would not be using these over your own soil on your own people whose cause is just.
      So who will do it? Foreign mercenaries? Or do you think today’s military today will have no qualms about blowing us up? You gotta love the metal shavings the Democrats are feeding them. Nothing builds trust actual beer can chicken. I can see some of them would not but those are mainly not the fighting type (I am guessing). Which is why drones scare me more than these. Don’t know much about the munitions drones carry though. In other words would their missiles cause too much damage and ruffle too many feathers?
      If team tyranny targets the white pickup and blows up 7 other vehicles along with that’s no bueno even with a friendly press. Normies may actually rally to the cause not that many would actually fight along side. I am not that naive. But if 75% of the population is sympathetic to rebel forces it’s going to increase the chances for success exponentially. I’m sure most of you understand what I mean but if any of you don’t imagine a rebel getting a deep wound and is able to be smuggled into a ICU and treated with decent care.
      There’s all kinds of perks to enjoying popular support as again I’m sure most of you understand. It is why it is damn near impossible to go on the offense right now. We must hold the line and further prepare and wait for Team Tyranny to over reach and do something stupid. Between Biden & Harris It shouldn’t take them to long.

      “The souped-up Broncos required just a single maintainer per aircraft, with the aircrews assisting in maintenance and support. It was an almost laughably affordable support footprint for an aircraft”
      Negative sir. Unless the OV-10 has some sort of super healing capability (or they don’t have Allison T56-A-16s like they used too) you need a platoon of specialized troop to manage day to day up keep. If only two? Yes, a platoon of maintainers… you will need a hanger with over head cranes, at least two power plant members, and two hydraulic members. Might get away with one airframe guy to tell you he needs a metal shop, the two electrical and two comm/nav guys can help each other with fixes as they are close.
      Aircrews assisting? This is Navy… so I will assume these are Marine Pilots, as the Marines were the only ones to use the OV-10… and the pilots are useless to help in fixing the aircraft. They can describe what is wrong… and that helps. But I have yet to meet a pilot who wants to help the maintain the aircraft, much less knows how.

    Yep. Not looking good. Look at the recent conflict in Armenia. Tough people, trained people, tough terrain, and they lost do to these low cost accurate weapons used by an enemy that is nowhere near as tough.

  4. Mas Casa March 3, 2021 at 17:37

    The OV-10 resurrection, at the time, was very impressive and was part of the DoD’s, and especially USAF’s quest for a light attack/ISR platform. That role is filled by the Super Tucano in the Colombian Air Force and Afghan Air Corps, to make. Acouple services, and the USAF is still somewhat considering the AT-6 Texan. APKWS is also known as AGR-20.

  5. Johnny Paratrooper March 3, 2021 at 17:54

    These birds don’t look like much but they had EXCELLENT visibility from those bubble cockpits. Could loiter on station waiting for a target. Could see and shoot for miles. And they had state of the art target acquisition weapons. They could make shots from a reported 2 miles away into the window of a truck or building. And could fly low and slow to even look under porches and decks. Which is incredible.

    • 71M March 3, 2021 at 22:45

      JP – Correct. OV-10 birds appeared on Bien Hoa , Viet-Nam base in 1969. Our O-1and O-2 Cessnas had limitations. OV-10 were designed to do a wish list of tasks that was needed. Even dropping off supplies, few troops, and taking out some wounded. That bubble canopy, loiter time, STOL ability was ideal for the tropics.
      The O-2 Cessnas ( civilian C-337) couldn’t leave the ground on high density altitude days and short runways. A bunch got stuck in Hue for that reason when VC decided to go for Hue
      That was a million years ago and yesterday. You understand?

  6. guildnavigator March 3, 2021 at 18:04

    OV-10’s been around for awhile. ATF was using them in the 1990s. Its purpose-built for COIN. These new (relatively inexpensive) laser-guided rockets, combined with a cheap and easy to maintain aircraft are just what the doctor ordered for eliminating pesky targets in the banana republic.

  8. Johnny Paratrooper March 3, 2021 at 18:48

    This fits in with the quote in my post earlier. “Once Forgotten; Twice Remembered”.
    The Army, Navy, and Marines dusted off old birds for use as artillery marking.
    Using old tactics from Korea. This is basically the same thing. With a lightweight, modern onboard weapons system.
    Imagine being able to take off and swing by two or three objectives and hitting a total of 14-38 targets knowing everyone is destroyed and confirming from the air.

  9. Brad March 3, 2021 at 18:57

    Google Small Diameter Bomb. We prototyped it.

  10. MTHead March 3, 2021 at 19:26

    Nasty! But everything runs on supply lines. That run through wooded areas. Over a large section of the country. With so many squawking trans-genders to care for. The government would be wiser to stock pile truck tires. Lest cities end up destroying themselves. Along with the mess they voted for.

    • Matt Bracken March 6, 2021 at 09:08

      One of the benefits of the OV-10 is that it can “self-deploy.” The cargo/troop area in the back can carry their one “maintainer,” supplies and rockets, enough for a few missions, so the pilots can change landing fields easily, staying ahead of local recon teams looking for their airfield.
      But this can work against Team Tyranny as well. A pilot can abscond with an armed aircraft, and defect from Team Tyranny to Team Freedom, and use these weapons against TT’s HQ element etc.
      This would not only go for the Broncos, but any other rocket-armed aircraft. The loyalty of the pilots to TT will always be in doubt. The best pilots may be looking for their chance to turn their weapons against their communist bosses. These trained and experienced pilots will not easily be replaced by woke trannie commie recruits.
      These platforms, once they abscond to Team Freedom, will prove extremely dangerous to Team Tyranny. As will other stand-off weapon systems such as ground-fired anti-armor rockets like the Milan. What happens when truckloads of these take a detour and wind up in the hands of the freedom fighters?

    Now that we have met the threat, are there countermeasures and or tactics that can be employed to mitigate it? Besides hiding in a cave in Tora Bora.

  13. Mark. March 4, 2021 at 10:47

    Laser guided? That implies someone on the ground has to paint the target with a laser if I understand correctly?

    • Joe March 4, 2021 at 11:51

      From the manufacturer’s video, the TLS can be from any platform, including the launching Bronco aircraft, provided it has the matched laser pulse repetition frequency encoded in the rocket guidance system and it can maintain adequate SNR for the guidance system to process. To the first order this is LOS. I have read nothing about what the guidance system does if it loses sync with the TLS signal. It probably continues to intercept the target track using the last good track data, basically dead reckoning without passive laser signal guidance updates. By now this unit probably has GPS and a backup IMU, ain’t cell phone tech great. My best guesses, but I am out of my lane.

    • Matt March 4, 2021 at 14:45

      If the shooter aircraft has a designator pod then most likely it would provide the LASER spot. In the photo above that looks to me like more of a sensor and not a designator, but things may well have changed since my time. Also, while on mission the OV-10 may carry a designator pod on a hard point.
      Lacking a designator on the shooting aircraft the designation spot may be done by another aircraft or someone on the ground.
      LASER guided munitions that lose their LASER guidance signal continue to fly a ballistic path from where the signal is lost towards the target. That means they’ll hit in close proximity to the target. If during this “ballistic phase” they reacquire the LASER and are within the cone that they can correct within they will once again steer back to the target.
      These rockets aren’t a real long range weapon, the chance of launching and then losing LOS to the target are pretty minimal. With forward firing ordnance both the target and the weapon are in front of the aircraft so it’d be tough to lose LOS. It’s more of a problem with free fall LGBs (bombs), but even then I don’t recall ever losing LOS even from much farther distances and angles.
      I also don’t know if these have a GPS within them or not. If they did, that tell the munition where it is. To know where it needs to go, the aircraft would have to have download the target’s coordinates to the weapon. That adds a lot of complexity and cost to the weapon.

        Do these systems have the capability to work in the IR region of the spectrum? No technical reason they couldn’t, right?

        • Matt March 4, 2021 at 16:24

          They do work in the IR portion of the spectrum. I can’t tell you the frequency off of the top of my head, but I’m sure that a little internet searching would yield that information (and by all that is proper, please do not use that abomination known as Google, use DuckDuckGo).
          These weapons work day or in total darkness, no illumination required. They will work through dust and haze.
          They are severely degraded in fog, mist, or rain. In those conditions they’d need to use GPS guided munitions (meaning they have accurate coordinates for a fixed target) or dumb bombs that a dropped via radar designation using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).

    When such things go viral, then the counter move will be more professionalism from other side. Fighting a war will be left for few qualified professionals. Like those Japanese ninjas who came from nowhere, killed important figure fast and disappeared without trace.
    Or like Tito warned Stalin. When you do not quit sending me assassins, I will send one good man to Moscow and I do not need to send more. Stalin feared this one good man more than other countries armies and left Yugoslavia alone.
    After killing of bunch of rednecks with pickup trucks with those super rockets , counter move is sending few absolute professionals to visit Mr. Grenier. Or do like Houthis do. They do not have very much power but they can hit where it hurts.

    It is so very sad to think that our own military and law enforcement would hunt us down and kill us not because what we have done but what we believe in. And I believe most would do so. And what do we believer in? Our Constitution and Bill of rights. Here is a thought but after they have slaughtered probably millions of us and destroyed much of the infrastructure and economy and when we no longer go to work to support all of the things that they need what are they going to do then? Despite all of their technology and resources it will not be or easy for them and it will take years. It will not be quick. And what have they gained?

        Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post. We are not in disagreement. At 66 with my wife as my battle buddy, she has taken every training course that I have, and we have no close, dependable rough men as teammates, I have to be realistic in our most likely outcome in a serious conflict. I hope to give better than I get, but ultimately youth and numbers will overrun 2 old fucks. All I am saying is that is OK, provided we give better than we get.

    The thing about laser guided rockets is that they will hit whatever in front of them is lased with the strongest amplitude at the right wavelength.
    What are they going to do when they lick one of these at an American and it gets redirected to the innocent POC family of eight three doors down?

    • Matt Bracken March 6, 2021 at 08:53

      “The right wavelength” is the key. Watch the video on the laser module being installed and readied for use. A particular laser wavelength is dialed into the module, to match the airplane. It will only seek that frequency, which can be changed every mission.

      • Phelps March 6, 2021 at 10:57

        Yup. But they aren’t going to retune that laser frequently, and they aren’t going to assign many planes to particular AOs.
        You only have to redirect two attacks (so that they know it wasn’t a fluke) and they will drop that weapon system completely.

      • Matt March 6, 2021 at 13:22

        It’s not a frequency. A LASER’s frequency is set in how it’s made. Every LASER designator of a particular model will have exactly the same frequency. Every weapon will look for exactly the same frequency. If there are two aircraft with targeting pods in a flight of aircraft then they will have the same frequency.
        What is different is “the code”. A code is modulated onto the fixed frequency, much like AM radio. That’s what keeps one aircraft’s bombs from homing on another’s LASER spot.
        When the weapon is loaded a fixed code is programmed into the weapon. It can be changed, but only on the ground. Hence, it is important for the aircrew to know what their weapon’s codes are and that all the weapons have the same code.
        The aircrew set the designation code for their LASER in the cockpit to match those set on the weapons. That way they can guide their own bombs/rockets without interfering with those from other aircraft. Likewise, they can put in the code for another aircraft’s weapons and “buddy lase” for them. Changing from designation one code to another while flying is quick and easy.
        But the long and short of it is, your are not gonna be able to redirect someone’s bombs unless you have a LASER of the proper frequency, with the ability to modulate a code with the same algorithm, and have the exact correct codes.
        Matt R.

        • Phelps March 6, 2021 at 19:34

          Or a sensor reading the code at the intended target, and modulating the spoof laser with that sensor. Doesn’t even require any digital circuitry, you can do it all analog.

            Good on ya’! You do have a LASER of the proper frequency right? And as this is focused light and you’ll need to be close, you know the target and the time it’ll be targeted right? Since the reflection off the target is not large, you’re close to the target right? The LASER designation will only be on from five to thirty seconds depending on what the weapon is and the attack profile is, so you can pickup it up, set up your decoy LASER, and have it on a safely picked out alternate target within that timeframe right? Depending on what weapon is being guided you’ll have a luxurious three to fifteen seconds to get it all accomplished.
            I’m glad that you’ll be able to do it. More power to you. I should have realized that weapons developed during the Cold War to fight the might of the Soviet Union would be so easy to defeat. Please let us know how that goes for you.

            I’m assuming that I AM the target, or an ally of.

    19704 airports in America. Here in North Carolina 481 of them. Miles of lane roads in North Carolina 227,000 miles. That’s counting every thing paved East of the Miss River, never more than 5.1 miles from a paved road in any direction. In Ohio about 1.2 miles in any direction. Train to spot that team with the laser designator in your neck of the woods. Any war in this country will be between the roads. We are not as remote as we think we are in this country. We are just camping and hiking between roads. There could come a time we don’t need to be at home with that smart meter on the side of our house. Never mind the Google Map with a picture of the damn thing. Spotting those Recon teams operating by air or from a Prius will be priority. Leave the 7.5 inch range toys at home and break out the full size 26 inch with a nice scope on it. Doesn’t matter how special people on these Recon teams think they are or what color beret they have, they are just folks that bleed just like every one else. When the populace knows what to look for and are armed and alert they are screwed. Someone else will be publishing a newer version of Sole Survivor, Lone Survivor, what ever it was called. Go pissing in someone else’s sand box and bad things happen. Big Media says Biden won 477 counties. That leaves 2666 counties that don’t care for DEM’s. That 2666 counties need to get real picky on who counts the votes. Stop letting some old fat ass pull the hillbilly rug out from under you on election day. All 50 states need to tighten up. Armed to the teeth and who counts the votes verified. And verify the registered voters are LEGAL, alive, and voting in the right place. I understand that in Virginia 10 percent of they registered voters could be illegals. The kind folk in Virginia need to decide what kind of state they want to live in. Go try to vote in Mexico or Honduras or any country south of our border.

    And yet they still can’t defeat the Taliban. Matt you are wrong, you are a defeatist, The American people are stronger than any military.

      Did I ever say they will WIN?
      NO, I did not!
      But if Team Tyranny THINKs they can win, they will TRY.
      Did the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor because they thought in 4 years it would lead to their cities being firebombed and then nuked, and their total defeat, including war crimes trials and hangings?
      NO. When they bombed Pearl Harbor, they believed they would win.
      We must not assume our enemies on Team Tyranny have the same preconceptions that we have.
      That is a terrible mistake, similar to thinking the Japanese could not and would not bomb Pearl Harbor.

        Amen. Mr. Bracken is so prescient because he has a fully-realized “red team” mentality. Thinking like the enemy to anticipate their future actions is not an endorsement of said actions: it is the ONLY way tip the scales in your favor by becoming proactive rather than reactive. The best defense being a good offense and all that. Not to sound too fawning, but in Matt we have a master-level red-teamer (who can write non-formulaic books as opposed to certain other red-teaming authors ;-) ) and we are fools if we don’t treat these posts as pure gold.

    Big Media as usual goes with the low created 75 million number. There are 130 million HOUSEHOLDS in America. !00 million plus support Trump. 3143 counties in this country. Big Media says biden got 477 counties. Leaving 2666 counties for President Trump. That is a lot of workers who pay tax. Many people who vote Dem don’t work. They collect GUBMINT checks paid for by our tax dollars. The majority needs to start defunding those 151 Federal welfare programs that are only for women and kids. Nothing for males. Should i say White Males. Don’t fall the Shame Game Skin Game. The Dems want your GREEN. From county to state capitals to DC, instruct your elected to defund Dem programs. If they refuse remove them. We only need one Federal Welfare Program with Federal Reps located in the counties that need them. A good place to put them would be in or near the county DSS building. Funny how people can find that address but cannot go to a job assignment. Since 1965 this country has spent $30 TRILLION DOLLARS on welfare programs. With nothing to show for it. The people who currently work in those 151 Federal Welfare Programs can get reassigned to the southern border or made school teachers in the schools where no one in their right minds would want to work. They created those hell holes now go reap what you have sown.

    Phelps on March 7, 2021 at 14:35 -> “I’m assuming that I AM the target, or an ally of.”
    There are better way to stop being targeted than trying to misdirect a weapon once launched.
    As has been stated several times on this site, stopping the aircraft from getting airborne would be the best bet. But considering the range of the aircraft, they probably won’t be taking off from your local area. So stopping them would be the results of someone else’s actions and not yours.
    Beyond that, these weapons are expensive and they don’t have nearly enough of them (at one point in Desert Storm we were down to less that one day’s worth of bombs, some of which were older than I BTW). They will first and mostly be used to hammer down the nails that stick up farthest. Don’t be that nail.
    Don’t be that nail by using good OPSEC, COMSEC, and the rest of the appropriate craft. Develop a good group and good local networks so that you’ll get an inkling when someone else is looking at you. Look like everyone else and be the gray man. Have a place to go where you can’t readily be found, if need be.
    Truth is, if the Gübermint wants you, they’re gonna get you. Your far more likely to have to deal with a no-knock raid in the middle of the night, them quietly snatching you off the street, or having your accounts frozen then having an LGB coming through the front window. Best to work on lowering your profile so none of those things happen.

      I’m absolutely with you. Thalium in the catering is a MUCH better solution. However, if patriots are getting zapped, they should at least have a hope that some nerd is using that 1 oz sensor on their web gear to either cause .gov major problems, or at least gathering the data that will make the next rocket attack a huge problem.
      We don’t know that the Russians DIDN’T have exactly this sort of system. We’ve never used these weapons systems on the Russians. Given how simple the system would be if you know what kind of laser is being used, I would be astonished if it isn’t on non-export Russian tanks.
      There’s going to be a LOT about Russian capabilities that we find out when we start pulling triggers and not getting the results we expected, and that’s a sad fact.

      • Matt March 8, 2021 at 08:17

        I commend you for wanting to counter this threat. As you develop your sensor / decoy LASER system please report back, in general terms, on your successes so others may be motivated to follow your lead.

    People have to get out of the kinetic mindset; resistance is possible but I advocate for clandestine operations. Think Gray man teams or lone wolf operations, infiltration, piano wire, knife, IED, arson, etc. Make a list and double check it now, when the time comes, put the fear of god in them and fade away…a motivated lone patriot can be the ultimate precision guided weapon. #frenchresistence #OSS

    The BATF has had planes, older versions, since 1995. Copied from “UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES, John Ross, 1996-2009.
