Loved the video! How did you make this without getting copyright striked?
Why retire it?
@@flyhawai Thanks! The video got claimed. I'm allowed to use the music, but I can't earn any money from this video.
Thanks for replying! I was just curious as I just started making my own DCS videos and plan to do some more.

When the US Air Force finally gets their wish to retire this aircraft, it will go down as the most legendary air to ground platform ever imagined.
yessir
Beat me to it
From what I've read, they now intend to keep them in service until the 2040s. And yes, I haven't heard of any other plane beating it when it comes to close air support. It's a full-fledged legend.
@@EEE_MMM Yeah I heard they have extended their service life for now. But the Air Force has been trying to get rid of the A-10 since before Desert Storm. Desert Storm proved how good it could be and the fighter jock community in command won't hear it.
@@CombatIneffective yeah I know they have been out for the A-10 for decades... Some people unfortunately don't recognize a good piece of equipment when they hear it go "Brrrrrrt".
I was a forward air controller mid 80s. I use to give them my position as a target on the range and they would "attack" my position. Of the pair that came in, one was an experienced major, and one was a new pilot who never went below 500ft. The major however... came in from his IP (starting point) and went directly out of site.. because he was flying 20 ft off the ground below the trees on the range road... once he got east of my position he popped up, flipped upside down, point his nose at me, and flipped upright saying "guns guns guns" on the radio as he came in on me from out of the sun... once he flew past, he dove back down and flew away down the range road again out of site. All this happened in 10 seconds. Dude was a bad man.
Holy shit
He literally is in the fucking weeds
like a crouching tiger below radar. nice
this range was at Eglin AFB in North Florida. The range roads are about 100ft wide with 50ft pine trees lining both sides of the road.
If you hear the brrrt it means you weren’t the target
@@WillSmith-rx5jl Now that is one bad ass Pilot talk about Map of the earth.
I remember someone say “If you heard the BRRRRRRRRRRRAP, you were not the target.”
That's true. The bullets goes faster than sound. If you are the target the bullets will fall on you before you hear it.
@@inexgeaa21a1Unless you’re firing an actual musket all bullets go faster than sound
What?? This makes no sense
@@ethernetmumasmr_3231 You'll get it one day
@@ethernetmumasmr_3231 also, most muskets are actually more powerful than a lot of modern rifles
My brother was in afghanistan an he said he lost count how many times the A10 saved his life! Thank you for bringing my brother home
Thank yau for your apresiated, and goodblees to your family.
Im surprised cous the A10 is known to do a lot of FF as well ngl Cant be within 2 buses of where its shooting due to the deviation of the cannon
What is lost to the bean counters is the morale boost having a Warthog overhead gives the groundpounders, and commensurate dissuasion to the bad guys.
might have a moral boost only if you aren't within like 24 meters of where its trying to shoot, honesitly its not a good CAS plane@@CorePathway
@@R3XT998You aren't calling CAS on a target within 24 meters regardless of what plane it is

The A-10 in actuality is a great stealth aircraft; nobody will notice, *if there is nobody TO notice*
And no witnesses 👀
Remember, it's only a war crime if there's evidence!

He means the aircraft itself. The A-10 Thunderbolt has undoubtedly saved many lives.
My son was a Marine with 2/8 in Fallujah and in Ramadhi. He said the most comforting thing was to be in close combat and the Lt. to announce the A-10's were inbound. I can not have much more appreciation than to say, "Thank you. You helped bring my son home alive."
I was with Golf 2/10 in the same area. I've never felt safer than when we got the call "A-10s on station". Hog Drivers drink for free when the Marines are around.
Like they say ONCE A MARINE ALWAYS A MARINE
@@forrestdevine2336 Yep, Marines coming safely back to the ships said the same, "We wouldn't be here if it weren't for the A-10s coming in danger close with surgical strikes."
I can confirm. Sleep well. This platform is today, not dispensable. Maybe upgraded, not retired.
@@georgewelford8648 Tanks today have active protection systems to take out rpgs and atgms. I would love to see a Warthog decked out with a similar system to provide protection from manpads.
Nothing like a plane being built around a cannon.
I served in Desert Storm. The "Hog" and the Apache were a soldier's best friends. Along with the "Queen of battle"...

I like to think of the A-10 as the Colt 1911 equivalent of jets in its reliability and appreciation from the troops. "The aircraft that forgot to retire"
1911 platform is famous for jamming.
That could be said about the B-52, as well.
Like how the 1911 is "the gun that forgot to become obsolete"
@@KaiTakApproach for using the round that weren't supposed to be used in that gun.
@@nissanskylinegt-rr32nismo49 in all seriousness, please do go on. Are you saying the 1911 was not originally designed for .45 acp? I was not aware.
Fun fact: The 30mm cannon in the A-10 is so powerful that it slows down the plane when it is shooting. Because of this they had to move the nose landing gear aside and put the cannon in the middle. If not it would cause the plane to turn when fired.
If you’re ever in war, I want this behind me been there done it Iraq
@@hellcatredeye-g6582 Agreed, A-10 CAS is legendary
“God bless the A 10 and their crew and support staff.” Every ground combat soldier.
Except the ones that it took out, including all the friendlies.
I always hear "it won't win any beauty contests" I think this is one the most beautiful planes ever.
Form follows function. Anything designed to be that good at what it does automatically becomes beautiful.
There is beauty in practicality, like a good gun or pocket knife.
We affectionately refereed to it as "Double Ugly" and "Warthog." Having worked on them as a weapons loader, I fell in love with them, great aircraft and fun to fly (I got to fly the simulator.)
It's ugly, but bad ass

Thanks for the sub! I have more cinematics like this planned already
Yes
Banging choice of song too!
I like this one but I think I prefer the one set to Hells Bells more. Makes it more ominous less fun seeming.
Lol.
Years ago,we live in a very remote area on 360 acres,A10’s would do low overhead passes over our ranch,we stretched a huge American flag ,”not touching the ground”,where they could see it,they really put a show on for us,gave me goosebumps and a lump in my throat,but mainly it made me proud of our country and our military men and women🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
"if you hear it, it's too late"
well designed.
Can’t help but smile big watching clips like these. My dad flew the Hog for over 2 decades and 2 wars. He’s retired now but when other guys when we’re out someone find out he was a Hog pilot they always offer to buy him a round lol. All the ground troops always say how much they loved hearing these suckers coming into the fight n how the enemy would always shit a brick.
In his home office he’s got one of the barrels for the Gau-8 avenger mounted up on his wall. Had to do some major wall structural reinforcement to hold it up there. Had the whole barrel custom chromed plated. Hell of a conversation piece.
Always proud of my dad. #ProudAmerican
We are all proud of your dad. ❤❤❤❤❤
Your old man's a hero
post a photo, man!! edit: of the gau-8 barrel.
When was you dad a hog pilot? I was at Davis-Monthan in the early 1980's and knew many of the aircrew.
Your dad rocks!
The A-10 was born to be a rock star. A killer rock star...
Seing that A-10 with "DM" on the tail @ 1:11 brings back so many memories of the many, MANY times of seeing these planes fly around when I used to live in Tucson, AZ when my dad was stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB. It was always a treat.
Went to U of A; when the weather got nice the pilots flew lower on their approach over the campus 😂
A-10 drivers, the only Air Force guys that don't have to pay for drinks around US Army infantry.
You forgot the Air Force TACPs on the ground with the Army infantry and a radio to the A10 pilot to save the grunts!
However they pay double whenever they meet British service personnel
The gun is nice and all, but i love how it's kitted out to it's full potential with Mavericks, APKWS hydras and LJDAMS 38's
uhh cool big words and stuff i know those too
The beauty of the gun is you see the vehicle in front of you become instant Swiss cheese before you see the plane or hear the gun
@@kwasomedude4792 missiles, rockets, and bombs
@@flyboy6392 i understood that part but i dont know the names
The gun ain't got shit on the weapons the A-10 carries. That's it's real strength: the amount of weapons it can carry as suspended ordinance. The gun is just for softer targets not worth hitting with a bomb.
The A10 is the equivalent of a flying morale boost for any folk on the ground I swear. minute you hear the rounds hit the floor and that buzz you know everything that was in that thing's sights is absolutely toasted.
No, it’s not just a morale boost, but it’s also a nightmare for anyone in front of it.
Bro A-10 Pilots Are not like „My Jet has a gun.“ they would be like „My gun has a Jet.“
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣................goodfriends to you.
Hottest thing in the sky
That is a seriously one iconic aircraft.
if you hear the brrr you werent the target. What a legend the A-10
this beast saved our asses a few times on deployments. sweetest sound on earth is that gun
My father was with the 23rd Tactical Fighter Wing (1987-1991) England AFB, LA. The flying Tigers baby!!!
The A-10 survives in service not because of the gun, but because it can largely ignore almost anything trying to kill it, carry enough ordinance to make the suspension squawk in protest snd STILL dance, and hang ALL day long.
It is a plane they got right. The Gun is a nice cherry on a Mayhem Sundae.
I NEVER got tired of saying, “Cleared Hot”. Hearing that BRRRRRT and watching something/one “go away” always made me smile! When a flight of A-10’s check on, you automatically knew the day was going to get better.
They should never retire this beast!!!
I'm on the board of the Hagerstown (MD) Aviation Museum - the original home of the A-10 where 714 were built. In the future, we're hoping to bring a Warthog home to its birthplace so it can join our growing collection of Fairchild aircraft. This is one of the most illustrative A-10 videos I've found online, nicely done.
Thanks for watching!
Love the "wurp" sound best sound you can ever hear as an infantry man
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT-VOOOOOOOOM
as long as it is allie infantry 😅
Or worst
In Vietnam, the sound every soldier wanted to hear that inbound Huey to come and save them. Today, it's the A-10 and her extreme badassery. I've never experienced combat but from all the videos I've seen and stories I've heard, this is what you want to see when the enemy needs to absolutely die in a hail of bullets.
Too bad more often than not the people dying in hails of bullets are friendlies
When I get high, get high on speed, 30mm machine gun is a drug for me.
😂😂😂
Was with the 101st, back in the 80's, we were doing a joint FX, with the AirForce, the object was to call in an artillery strike, followed up with A-10, then Cobra's, Man what a beautiful site to see, A-10's coming and light up the Range.
A long, long time ago, I was in my boss’s office, for him to sign off on paperwork. We finished up with the signatures, and he hands me another piece of paper. “Read that, and tell me what you think.”
It was very nice paper, and on it was the most polite letter I’ve ever read. It was from a member of an A 10 squadron, asking if they could please use one of product logos belonging to the company I worked for, as their squadron insignia.
I said “He’s incredibly polite. Are you going to let them do it?”
My boss, Mike, said “I asked what you think.”
I said “I think you should. They call A 10’s Warthogs, after all. And that would look incredible on a plane!”
Mike grinned back at me, and said “That’s what I think, too.”
I gave the paper back, and Mike started scribbling on it.
“Especially if they paint teeth on the nose like the Flying Tigers, but with tusks, like a hog!”
Mike snickered at me, handed the paper back, and said “Take that up to Legal. Tell ‘em to call me if they have questions.”
Mike had just directed Legal to give the A 10 squadron the right to use the logo, no caveats, and no licensing fee.
And when the Gulf War rolled around, there was footage on the Evening news of an A 10 squadron that was being deployed - and every one of their planes had the Exide “SuperHog” logo on it, and there were a lot of nose guns framed in very sharp teeth, and tusks, too.
Wherever you are, Mike, I will always be proud of you for that call, and proud of the planes and pilots who truly are Super Hogs.
Thanks for sharing this story here!
Yep the A10s out of England AFB Louisiana, that was the Flying Tigers, also a squadron or 2 from the 926 out of Belle Chasse also went over there in 1991. My father was working in the England AFB command post when the orders came to get them overseas to the gulf.
A plane that's built around a gigantic gun, rather than the other way around.
And it became one of the most feared planes in history to date
The Brits beat you to it, Back in WW2 there was the De Haviland Mosquito (Built from wood with a pair of Rolls Royce merlin engines (same as a Spitfire) and a 6 pounder anti tank field gun - think towed artillery;- Molins auto-cannon 2.2 inch/ 57mm - weighing in at over a ton)
Used to great effect against the U-Boats
One of the most full fulling sounds on the battle field to hear is this plane coming to your rescue.
The A-10 is the definition of badass
✔️🤫
I used to work with the 74th and 75th A-10 fighter squadrons when it came to delivering their munitions… just watching them taxi and takeoff was really cool, along with hearing the signature brrrrts since the base was next to the firing range for the A-10s
Plane is good,but you have to be billy the badass to be a pilot of that aircraft. I will never forget that sound.
My brother is a retired A-10 pilot.
@@amygromel2297 retired or not, he's still a badass.
You dont have to be a badass to fly an a10, it makes you a badass
I consider myself lucky to have seen A10s in action in theater, very impressive.
The A-10. We makes things standing beetween you and freedom go boom
My freedom must be hiding behind those arms manufacturers profits...
Boom
the 3 sweetest sounds ever...the twin engines howling, the BRRRRRRRRRP and Motley Crue
"General we need a plane"
"Aight bet" *makes a gun fly and shoves as many explosives as possible on it*
This should be required watching for every American.
While I love the F-22 for it's maneuverability as a jet, there will ALWAYS be a special place in my heart for the 'Hog... It really says something when modern armies/combatants fear the sound of it's guns more than the forces on the ground, and the ones it protects, as another person mentioned, that it sounded like Angel's wings coming to give them help...
As much as you and I love how the A-10 says BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR there is nobody who loves it more than the grunt on the ground watching it gank the bad guys and hearing that lovely lovely gatling music.
(From August 2023) Thank you for creating and posting this awesome visual/music sync! I used to make them for myself for the fun of it! But to the point: The A-10, my second favorite military aircraft (First = the F-14)! All I need to hear is the sound of its 30mm rotary cannon, and I instantly know what’s there. If you haven’t wiki’d it yet, I highly recommend do so: that gun, poking its nose out just a little=very deceptive. That gun runs the length from its tip to the the leading edges of the wing roots. As you probably already know, the gun was the ultimate prerequisite for any bids from aerospace companies. The challenge was to build a plane around that gun!👏🏽 There were also other prerequisites: The plane needed to be able to fly home with half the tail missing, half of one wing missing, on one engine.😮 I love this plane for several reasons, primarily its role as close air support/loiter time. Imagine a little group of scared 18 y/o soldier boys taking cover, they can hear the enemy getting closer and surrounding them. And what to do? Call an angel. Give the pilot the numbers, establish “danger close” and the guy or gal on the radio hopes the numbers are right and screams “Fire for effect!” Heads down and wait for a few seconds, then you hear the whine of the A-10s turbofans, music to the ears in such a moment, then an orchestra of BOOMS and BRRRRRT. The angel comes back around and more loud BOOMS and BRRRRRRT. And before they know it, they are the only people alive within a half mile radius. I can’t imagine how many vets still walk this Earth only because an A-10 saved them. Oh yeah, and those 30mm depleted uranium rounds can go through any tank armor like the proverbial “hot knife through butter.” I never got why it picked up the nickname Warthog because many consider it ugly, and I’m like, are we looking at the same plane here? The A-10? Because I think it is gorgeous! Instead of Warthog it should be ANGEL. And a beautiful one at that. But I’m sure any vets who got saved by one, never ever again thought it ugly. For such vets, they see an A-10 and think “Savior.”😇
Mid-late 80's, called for CAS. Gave coord's, replied, within 50 yards. I approved. Shit blew up, but we came Home. Kudos to those guys.
I was a Forward Observer in the early 80s. These are even more impressive when you're calling them in. Soviets were scared
sh!tless of these guys.
Nice story and all, but it's not like they were actually ever in a fight against it and on the top of that, they also have their own version of A-10 at all, named Su-25 and it fulfills the exactly same role that A-10 does. So I really don't understand why they would be scared of these.
@@SmukY123 so these were used against Soviets...? Damn it would be cool to hear one irl. Until my life depended on it and I was scared for my life...
Holy shit I can’t believe what I am even reading lol 🤦♂️ do you guys realise Soviet union doesn’t even exist anymore, right?
@@SmukY123 he told about the 1980's. Soviet Union was still standing (more or less) strong in early 80's
@@hunterxsimple3821 and do you yet at all realise that ex-Soviets and Americans were never at the gunpoint at such extension? At which point was the GAU-8 Avenger actually aimed at any living ex-Soviet soldier? Because if that was the case it would lead to an all out war because both sides were twitchy and just waiting for a disaster to happen. I’ll stand my case since I don’t believe he saw any Soviets at all. I’m not saying A-10 is a crap airplane, quite contrary, I just see his post as some of a subjective propaganda.
The A-10, the only aircraft that brings both air support and emotional support to our troops
As the former member of a supporting arms liaison unit, I can tell you that this is one of the greatest aircraft ever built. Supporting the boys on the ground was its mission and it did so with flying colors. I hope they knew what they were doing when they replaced this tough old bird! Anyone who was saved by her is her biggest fan!
A truly truly wicked aircraft. I live next to the AFB where the Warthogs called home until just after the Cold War ended. Man, do I miss seeing those guys.
Terror - looking in your rearview mirror and seeing an A10 closing in on you. . .Sheer terror - being in a convoy and seeing 4 A10's moving in on you. . .The A10 is the baddest ass plane on this planet!
if i blow out my eardrums to this it was worth it
I really don’t care what USAF or anyone else says. Ground support cannot be conducted from fast movers at higher altitudes. Sure if you’ve got them lined up to hell & back they might be able to hit the bad guys.
The bravery & courage of War Hog pilots is second to none.
I had to come back and watch this one again. It doesn’t get old.
My Dad flies the F/A-18. In one of the squadrons he flew in, a photographer and short film maker made a montage of the squadron training events with this song playing in the background. Awesome video :)

To the ladies and gentlemen who fly these great planes THANK YOU
"i struck oil" famous last words.
40 Years still in active Inventory? What an amazing airframe.
Had some of these guys fly by my house out in the country once. It's surreal to have a pilot waving at you at eye level from his seat!
I watched in1968 guys in the C-130's doin tree top training . could read the wattage of the red light. OV-10 A also built in Columbus, Ohio, test flown through our bottom ravine. I could shake hands with them. Throwing rocks would of brought one down. North American Rockwell !
I love this beast....been a good friend to infantry
I never realised how well Kickstart My Heart fits the A-10 until today.
I really really love your concept of two American fighter jets escorting two A-10s. The latter ones are not exactly air-to-air fighters, but upon enemy fighters approaching the CAS fighters would give the Warthogs a warning;
- A-10s, getaway right now. We have incoming enemy fighter jets.
- Copy, Lincoln 2, thank you for the warning. We are history. See ya at the base.
- Sure, Tim. Beers on you then at the Canteen?
- Absolutely :-)
- Alright, you did a good one.
- Yeah. Now, you have a good one :-)
- We always do. You can count on us.
Back at the airbase, a female official approached Tim. She asked,
- Who is your A-10 partner?
- Sorry I cannot disclose that. Have a nice day, madam.
- Heaven's sake, Tim. I work in the canteen. You have known me for years.
Exactly. So?
Please do not ask.
Romana puella formosa ante Timotheum centurionis venit et clara voce petivit;
- Esne pater meus?
- Mel est possibile.
- Cur non es in domo nostra, tata? Non amas mom amplius?
- Scilicet matrem meam amo. Sed miles sum. Qualem sit morte mori. Mater Siun particeps securior invenit :-)
- Tim! Es adverisne?
At the end of the day, the A-10 pilot, Sergeant Tim entered the American military base canteen. The female bartender recognized Tim. She said,
- Hey Tim. Are you okay?
- Hey, I am fine, thank you.
- What would you like? An Irish whiskey on the rocks?
- You know me way too well.
- I know, right :-)
Cool vid. mix of game shots and real fotage is great. Dont give up.
The TOP #1 CAS platform ever built. Stupid that they want to retire the King of CAS. This song was a perfect choice.
As a US veteran the most wonderful sound on the battlefield is a Warthog !!!
Unless you are on the wrong side of the Hog.
If your on the other side that burp is the last thing you hear !!!
Personally I think the A-10 is the best aircraft as they started with the primary weapon and built the aircraft around it !!! Instead of building an aircraft then trying to add weapons to it !!!
The end is perfect, the music stop epicaaly and then the "brrrrrrrt", perfect !
Legendary aircraft, with a legendary song. Merica, f’ yeah.
My ex girlfriend and I were hiking Mt St Helen’s just below the cauldera in 1995 and two in formation blasted over the top of the ridge 75 feet from us I never heard them until they broke the ridge. The dogs got twitchy right before but we both fell over mostly as a reaction not because it blew us over, but that was AWESOME. Highlight of the trip.
Oh my GOSH this is literally one of THE COOLEST cinematics I have ever seen!!! A similar one to this was made a while ago but it was IRL footage, but this one is better edited and the use of DCS is juste PERFECTION.
Should post the link to the IRL footage vid in that case
Had this playing on surround sound and it hit a sweet spot
If you can hear it, you weren't the target
Excellent
Old warhorse just keeps on punching 😊
I've never been a fan of neither modern nor solely american aviation, but this video is honestly superb.
I must give credit where it's due, the combination of metal and a pure powerhouse which is A-10 turned out perfect.
I'm willing to have 3:06-3:11 on repeat in my subconsciousness for the rest of my life, somewhere in between a massive Il-2 attack and some WW2 dogfights.
Those warthog fellas kept me and my fellow paratroopers alive in the desert, no doubt about it!
It just amazes me that it seems like every years the Air Force is trying to get rid of the A-10, when its and absolute BEAST of a plane.
My wedding song!!! going 10 yrs strong!!!
I can actually picture a pilot jamming out to some music while in flight and taking out targets like a badass
Some may consider the a10 crude, old, outdated. And they would be right. But the a10 was built so basically that it could be repaired 'on the fly' with readily available parts. It's could Cary and impressive load and the damage it could take was 2nd to none of the b17
All aircraft are repaired with readily available parts. If they're not readily available, you have a museum piece.
It was literally built around the gatling gun, which is impressive alone
@@raymondsullivan7474That gun is really good at friendly fire, mainly because you have to use binoculars to find targets.
@@Falfan42 yes, back in iraq, they upgraded it nowadays, but that was a hell of an issue
@@Kristof1 yeah, but it's still interior to the F-35 tech wise, and now it can't even do its job of dirt cheap COIN
That's why the Sky Warden is gonna be the replacement. It's similar tech level, but it's cheap as dirt and as reliable.
Every A-10 in real life should have the baddest external audio playin this at the enemy
This is why us Army boys love the Air Force.
This is a hard time for A10 Pilots. Seeing all these stuck russian columns and not beeing allowed to dive on the has to feel like a real bad cockblock.
had a cousin who worked on these in the USAF. he made this comment cause his friend piloted one of them and he said when he brought up the stuck columns to his friend his friend almost creamed himself
all the us has to do is give 1 a10 to ukraine, and russia gonna be hurting
Pancir's and Tunguskas be like:

I live near an A-10 base... I THRILL everytime I hear that distinctive sound! Sounds like freedom!
Davis-Monanthan?
Cries jealousy in European 💔
A-10....the most effective laxative ever. When it comes over the horizon, enemy tank crews crap their pants in unison.
I remember when they made their appearance during Reforger 79. (Yeah, I'm dann old) The OPFOR complained they were an unfair advantage because of how effective even the early models were. OPFOR LOST every tank in every battle the A10's showed up to.
Forward to Desert Storm; Day 2 of the attack, we're leading a support convoy of maintenence support vehicles, clerks, mechanics and fuelers. Along with us are 2 M88A1's towing a combination of Bradleys, M1's, and 113's. We also have a Cav Scout section of Bradleys and 1 functional M1 moving with us. (Apparently they got lost, found us and joined up) We're hours behind our tanks and other forces because of how slow the 88's are under load. You could see the tension in everyone's face and feel it in the air.
Suddenly we get buzzed by 2 A10's, coming over us at about 150 feet and waggling their wings. A cheer went up from the entire convoy and you could see and feel everyone relax across our little force. My cheif and i looked at each other and said the same thing at the same time," I'm glad they are on our side"
One of my favorite planes and one of my favorite bands!
according to all known Army estimations, there is no way the A10 warthog should be still in service. it's antiquate technology is too old to carry the great task of protecting a whole nation. The warthog, of course, flies nonetheless, because it doesn't care about what the Army thinks is impossible
The Army loves it. It's the Air Force that keeps trying to kill it.
F***k yea! I'm a crew chief and all the work we put in makes this happen and I love it! If it turns, burns banks or rollssss!
