It would be cool if the 182 had a minigun under one of its wings. A 182, Blackhawk duel to the death. I wonder which bird I should put my hard earned cash on.

Without getting into details that could get me in trouble, more than one federal LE unit has armed Blackhawks. I'm not talking about DAPs or anything like that, but window mounts with either 60's or 240's on swing arms. They seem to prefer mounting solutions that allow them to swing the guns in when not in use so as not to alarm the sheeple, but make no mistake if "them soup bois" are bringing a hawk full of dudes wearing Crye stuff, they will probly have belt guns in the crew chief window.

And of course they can always rely on NG or DOD assets if it's a significant enough event.

Against a Cessna, normal rifle fire from an AR of some sort would probably do the trick just fine. There isn't much material in most of the plane that would stop a bullet from hitting the pilot or important controls/parts.

Why wouldn't the .mil participate in the exercise?  You think they only do real world intercepts and never train with those they would do it for real with?

Depends on the circumstances.

A drug load coming from down south ?  Probably just maintain contact  and call in other air assets because the 182 has to land eventually.

A plane heading into restricted airspace like the security zone around  a crowded Super Bowl stadium would justify a more aggressive response.

CBP air and marine have SCAR -Hs for taking out engines. Usually for boats though.

The Coast guard has shotguns with slugs and Reflex sights and Robar .50 BMG Rifles for the same tasks. In fact the USCG has an outboard engine used to qual with the slug guns.

The reverse is even more true.  It would be easier to shoot the blackhawk out of the sky at that distance than the Cessna with any given small arm.

Once the blackhawk started taking fire it would have to disengage anyway. It can't stay there.

And suppose the plane just never answered and ignored them.

Would someone in the national guard truly give an order to shoot a civilian plane down over a densely populated urban area with machinegun fire? Would they even be authorized to give that order?

I just doubt it.  A terrorist using this tactic will most likely succeed because at the end of the day, nobody will make that decision, or it would be made too late to matter anyway.

This exercise is a publicly visible deterrence. A show of force for football fans.

If it wasn't, would they really reveal their TTP?

If hadji was going to do this, he wouldn't come with just one plane either. It would be five or six at the same time.

About 30 something years ago we were flying OV-10's on JTF-6 missions along the border. We were not armed. We were out in the middle of nowhere in AZ when we saw a 172 lift off of a dirt strip. We got up nice and tight on the guy and there were no numbers on that aircraft anywhere (you could see where they'd been painted over). Guy didn't try to evade, so we just followed him until we were about out of fuel and called other assets to pick him up. He was flying west and it turns out he was just a dude with an airplane (so we were told by the DEA kiddos). You could see how easy it would be to just hop back and forth across the border.

No.

The Blackhawk was designed to take hits and keep flying. Cessnas were not.

To some extent, yes. There are parts that do have some armor.

But any transport helicopter is extraordinarily vulnerable to close range small arms fire and has several critical areas exposed at once, especially from the side like that.

The point is, it's not going to stay there and go toe to toe.
