The United States plans a 56 million modification to convert six more C130Es into gunships to operate from Thailand against North Vietnamese supply trucks on the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos. The force, now about 18, aims to deter truck convoys as dry season operations loom. The aircraft mount miniguns, Gatling guns, and a 40 mm cannon, with night sensors and updated targeting gear for all-weather use.
