A-10 Warthog • King Of Close Air Support

Details

Description

The A-10 Thunderbolt II, nicknamed "Warthog" for its unusual appearance, has been flying for the U.S. Air Force since the 1970's and was specifically designed as a ground attack aircraft to destroy Soviet tanks. Over the years, the Warthog has become a legendary Close Air Support jet because of its huge 30mm gatling cannon (GAU-8) which fires depleted Uranium rounds capable of penetrating heavy armor, its long loiter time over targets, its high maneuverability, and its Titanium armor which contributes to survivability. In addition to having the deadly GAU-8, the Warthog can be armed with a variety of bombs and missiles adding to its lethality. If you check any list of "best close air support aircraft", you will find the A-10 Thunderbolt II Warthog is at the top of the list, or near the top of most every list you will find. This video is a compilation of A-10 clips including live-fire munitions, aerial refueling over Afghanistan, takeoff and landing, and cockpit video.
