Gunship
Military air support
A gunship is a heavily armed aircraft designed to provide firepower support, typically a helicopter or fixed-wing plane modified to carry machine guns, cannons, or missiles: The gunship circled overhead, providing cover for ground troops.
The term emerged during the Vietnam War with aircraft like the AC-130, which could loiter over targets and deliver sustained fire.
