  • Affectionately called the “Warthog” for its aggressive look and often painted with teeth on the nose cone, the A-10 Thunderbolt II is the U.S. Air Force’s primary low-altitude close air support aircraft. The A-10 is perhaps best known for its fearsome GAU-8 Avenger 30mm gatling gun mounted on the nose. The GAU-8 is designed to fire armor-piercing depleted uranium and high explosive incendiary rounds.
    The A-10 Thunderbolt II has excellent maneuverability at low air speeds and altitude, and is a highly accurate and survivable weapons-delivery platform. The aircraft can loiter near battle areas for extended periods of time and operate in low ceiling and visibility conditions.

    So, a funny story about the hawg. In the 80s, I was a 45B in the US Army. Basically, an Army gunsmith. When I was stationed in Italy, we would sometimes have to go to Aviano Air Force Base to fix something if they didn't have anyone that could. One time, me and the other small arms repairman got asked to go out because a flight of A-10s was coming in and one had a bad Avenger. The thought process being - you work on the 25mm Bushmaster chain gun, you can work on the 30mm Avenger. They are two totally different beasts using two totally different principles. So, the first thing we do is grab the technical manual. In the US military, if you can read at a 6th grade level, you can fix anything if you have the manual. Go through the procedure of removing the cowlings, getting a hydraulic lift cart for the assembly to rest on, and removing the restraints. No sooner do we remove the last restraint and the whole aircraft goes nose-up until its resting on its now crushed vertical stabilizers. No one informed us there was a totally separate bulletin on preparing the aircraft to have the Avenger removed. The majority of the aircraft's forward weight is in the Avenger. It balances the rearward weight of the engines. We were apparently supposed to put a special support under the tail section to keep it from doing exactly what it did. Oops.

      I'm not sure if I've been wooshed, but that wouldn't happen because the bullets would have the velocity of the plane added to their velocity. The A-10 has a top speed of about 196m/s, the muzzle velocity of the GAU-8 Avenger is about 1010m/s. So at top speed the bullets will be travelling at 1206m/s relative to the ground, which would give each round about 43% more kinetic energy.

      Thing is, the A-10 Thunderbolt is stupidly cheap (and easy) to maintain. They were designed to be so cost effective so that even a tiny little airfield can land one of these things, repair it, and send it on its way again in a matter of hours. By comparison, the F35 the Air Force wanted to replace the A-10 with are several magnitudes more expensive and to maintain, and they can't even take half of the beating an A-10 can.

    My dad is a Vietnam vet and told me many stories of being in the jungle and calling in air support and hearing it roaring into visual range in the distance and absolutely wrecking the targets. He said it would provide a few mins of relief of war and a huge boost to morale. His battalion would then march through after and see bodies shot into pieces everywhere.

      @Bobby Brady That is absolutely false. It was designed to survive in a very hostile SAM/AAA environment. It's main job was to fly multiple daily sorties over Soviet tactical airspace. In Iraq, it flew in dense AAA areas and excelled...became legendary. So where does your deduction come from? It sounds like an opinion based on guesses, or personal taste...not an data or factual analysis. The fact is...other than stealth, one simply cannot build a more survivable CAS platform...within reason.

      Bobby Brady You are seriously misinformed if that's your "opinion".
      It has done exactly what you claim it wasn't designed for.
      It is in fact a highly survivable aircraft in virtually any environment. It's only real Achilles heal, if you can broadly call it that, it that it's not particularly fast. If comparing it to the Russian Frogfoot, which is Mach 1+ capable, that is the Hawg only real vulnerability. This has however, in actual combat, not proven to be the case on a regular basis.
      What, pray-tell, is your alternative for a cost effective and robust CAS platform?
      If you say the F35 Lightening... I'll slap your stupid face off your head.

    I was never in the Air Force but we have a base not too far from our house. Every once in a while I would hear the distinctive sound of the engines as it flew nearby and we would all run out to watch it. Behind our house is a rather large swamp and they would practice maneuvers over the swamp land. Like I said, none of the other jets sounded anything like it so it was great to hear them and watch the tight turns they could pull with it. Great video!

    The Worthog is still the best air to ground vehicle that the US has ever made. They need to create a newer and improved version.

      SVTsupercharged Hi there really isn’t any need to at the moment, unless the US goes to war with another country that’s got an equivalent jet.

    I keep thinking that there should be a way to upgrade the A-10 to a low-cost heavy close air support aircraft for the modern battle field, instead of ditching them.

      There is, it's just expensive. We could overhaul its engines and coat it with the paint that makes it harder to detect on radar but the Air Force would prefer a high tech multi role fighter over a dedicated CAS aircraft.
