DISCONTINUED Aerobonus 480043 SUU-11B/A gun container

SUU-11 is an American, hanging container for small arms (called Gun Pod) from the Cold War and the modern period. The SUU-11 was used to carry various variants of the 7.62mm GAU-2 (M134 Minigun) 6-barrel machine gun. The first production version of the container (designation: SUU-11 / A) carried the XM18 version of the rifle and its ammunition supply for 1500 rounds. The next version was the SUU-11 A / A, which was electrically powered and provided the pilot with better possibilities of adjusting the rate of fire to the needs of the battlefield, which rationalized the use of ammunition. Finally, the last version is the SUU-11 B / A, which is very similar to the previous version (SUU-11 A / A) but with a higher theoretical rate of fire. Containers of this type were used particularly intensively during the Vietnam War (1964 / 1965-1975) and could be carried by many airplanes and helicopters, including: A-1 Skyraider, A-37 Dragonfly, UH-1E Huey or AH-1 Cobra .
