Not l-o-n-g range, but 10,000 ft plus slant range at altitude. Stand off is
a mile to mile and a half.

You get precision weaponry and a killing projectile (105mm) on most targets.

If you need something bigger, just lase it from orbit and let the bombers
hit it.

Perfect weapon system exists, the AC-130H or U. 40 and 105MM guns on
target
for a long time.

Can and does an AC-130 fire at LONG range in an arced trajectory? And if
it works for
an AC-130, might it also work for an AH-64?
