As the craft approached a landing zone, it was hit by enemy antiaircraft fire and crashed. Rather than conducting an airborne assault by a mass parachute drop requiring large numbers of aircraft flying in close formation at low levels, the use of precision parachutes by small teams and for re-supply allow the use of fewer aircraft, spaced well apart and flying out of reach of antiaircraft fire. During OIF, the DC-130A was deployed to a forward operating location where it was used to launch BQM-34 Firebee target drones near Baghdad, Iraq, dropping radar-jamming chaff and decoys to draw antiaircraft fire away from coalition strike aircraft. |
