I remember a while back that the alleged story circulating around the internet about those kill markings was that they weren't actually kill markings. Apparently, demonstration teams that fly with multiple different types of planes sometimes paint the silhouettes of planes they fly alongside on the nose. No idea if this is actually true or not, but it would make sense given those heritage flights where you have A10s flying alongside P51s, F16s, F22s, and F35s.
@@HiIeric117 They're next to a bunch of silhouettes of ground vehicles though, which are the natural prey of the A-10. It would seem a bit weird to put those markings next to the things you normally kill if they're meant to be for honorary purposes rather than kill markings.
F-22 is not a dogfighter. A-10 is probably the most maneuverable aircraft. The F-22 can match the speed and maneuverability, but shear size is where it would struggle with an A-10 in close combat...but this would never happen as the F-22 would just come out of nowhere and snipe it. It's a long distance predator and then if needed slide in unaware and drop you.
The coolest thing about GS’s vids is the way each aircraft demonstrates it’s purpose for design and mission, very informative as well as entertaining thanks a million GS ! ✌️🇺🇸
The length of the A10 wings, kept you upright during that crash, it wanted to flip a couple of times but the wing length was brilliant at doing that job, who knew?
Love the A10 , I remember two A10's spaced a few hundred meters apart flying low over flat Norfolk countryside almost 40 years ago, that image stays in your mind
I recently lived near davis-monthan, home of the boneyard, and home of an a-10 wing. The a-10 was the only plane i didnt mind buzzing my house, awesome machine. Every time I'd hear that turbofan spool up I'd think of Apocalypse now 'sounds like victory'. I know he says smell, but that whine is just so distinctive.
I'm shocked those missiles didn't explode in that crash landing. This is one of my new favorite matches though. The playing field seems so much more even.
To be honest I think the Raptor had the advantage, the F-22 pilot was initially scared to pull hard on the stick and go that slow with an A-10 but in the last round the Raptor was getting all kinds of angles it wasn’t even fair, and in the first round the Raptor demonstrated how it can go slower than the A-10 and still maneuver. I think maybe if the Raptor pilot decides he wants to pull harder he can and the only real thing stopping em is fear.
Unlike A-10s, Raptors and other fighter craft generally are manufactured with unstable flight characteristics to improve maneuverability at speed, but the A-10 has so much surface area that's dedicated to lift and control surfaces there's no surprise to me its a fantastic glider.
I wonder which has a larger RCS. The A-10 or the F-15. The F-15's RCS is like, LEGENDARILY gigantic. A-10 looks like she'd show on radar pretty daggon good too though.
Man I can't believe how much fun these videos are watch I'm just going to troll through every one of these eventually. You're an easy fellata root for so good on you! Appreciate it
You know what's great? The A-10's engines basically produce no thrust and thus no heat as well, therefor sidewinders always miss. That at 10:09 obviously happened because of the heat signature of the pilot.
Growling Sidewinder, tank buster rounds shredding the F22 in to pieces 😅. Would be cool to see more A10 warthog dogfights with top fighters in history.
I remember some A10 pilots talking about the F16 kill. The pilot didn't know how to handle to slow turns of the A10. The senior dude basically said it's easy if you know what you're doing, which is simply to create space so the A10 can't turn into your, which it likely always will.
I believe they also run scenarios where the f22 starts at a MASSIVE disadvantage. This is to test the pilot under pressure but results is unusual wins. An example of this is the viper 'win' against a pre production f35 that had very limited weapons systems fitted, the engine power limited... also no stealth coating applied
I wanna see this in a movie. An A-10 is the last plane that needs to attack an objective to save the world, but the enemy in their desperation launched an F-22 clone as fast as they could with no missiles. The A-10 with radar support from a captured radar station is alerted where the F-22 clone is inbound from, and the fight begins.
I will say, I understand your logic with the speed brakes, but your wing loading is dramatically changing as a result. The airbrakes are effectively reducing the wing area as well as increased drag, so the amount of kift generated with airbrakes will be significantly less.
GS monologue after the first death... reminds me of the meme with carton character sitting at a table sipping tea while the entire house is on fire "this is fine"
I guess it's good that I always kind-of assumed that the Hog would be surprising in a dogfight. Definitely not built for speed, but speed doesn't always win a dogfight. Big, chunky control surfaces and a low stall speed means you can't approach it like it's an easy target.
No, that does not count as 2-2. You didn't die, you did not even eject. You just found a nice spot for a barbecue and decided to go for it. The search and rescue guys are in for a treat.
3:00 Imagine being in this city: As first the Warthog shots multiple rounds into your house(dogfight) and than it crashes next to you while an F22 drops flares and sets everything on fire lol
REALLY COOL how the F-22 was literally "riding the bumper" of the A-10 during the crash landing @ ~12:00 mark or so...can see the F-22 so close if only could have stomped on the brakes and caused a rear-end collision...the local PD would definitely given the F-22 a ticket for being so close :-)
Awesome video! Let's see Growling Sidewinder in the Raptor lol,,,, @9:07 it's crazy to hear you say it's crazy that you whipped a Raptor in a Thunderbolt. However it begs the question, you Growling Sidewinder fly the Raptor against an A-10 Thunderbolt!
I've been begging for an A10 vs F16 because of what Colonel Danny "Gator" Yount said an A10 can do but F22 vs A10 is even more interesting because I expected it to be a whitewash but that fat pig of a plane tied the scores with a 5th gen!!! That's unreal and beautiful

Trying to dogfight the Warthog is like trying to wrestle a honey badger high on meth in a small cage. 😂
Oddly specific comparison but I agree so much lol
Honesty the most impressive part was when the A-10 just EAT the 9X and still "survived" the emergency landing
that’s why they call it a tank with wings
@@grumpy5.3 I think they say that for the su25, I only hear people call the a10 the gun with wings but never a tank

Maintenance crew after the crash landing:
"It'll buff out."
Went to my first ever air show “wings over cannon” saw the A10 demo team and it was amazing 🙌🏽
2:30 just casually dropping an A10C into a densely packed residential area 😬, F-22 probably scratched more than just the warthog with that one
The F-22 saws off the A-10 wing with its cannon: "Damn"
The A-10 disintegrates the F-22 with its cannon: "HOLY SH-"
0:30 Well the next video will have to be you in the A-10 getting that F-16 kill. 😁
Another great one! Thanks GS. I love the A-10. Always have since I was a kid building models. I’m 65….😂😂😂

When GS tells you the other pilot has made a mistake, what it is, and how he can profit from it. Education and a kill
I think he was trying to start a grass fire around you when you crash landed. 😂
@Growling Sidewinder I'd love to see a scenario based, F-111 video. I have always wondered what it was capable of.
Always wanted to see the f111
F-105 would be awesome as well. Maybe a series on the century series of fighters.
The F-111 was a very capable aircraft from what I've heard.
@@PavewayJDAM He's got a couple videos on the Lawn Dart, I mean F-104.
Proud Aussie agrees.
The Pig was a fantastic aircraft which served our RAAF for many years.

ist true my friend f22 win the battle

Usually its also got a truckload of bombs under the wings. An empty A-10 has so much lift and thrust to spare!
Me when I hijack an A-10 warthog and the feds are after me
The Battlefield theme always gives such great chills especially the beat drop in electric BF4 variant 🔥👌

Love this! More spicy air to ground videos with the A10! Keep up the great content!
I like when you took that hit to the canopy everything in front of you stuttered for a sec then died out (except for the passive instruments)
Great fight! But I was waiting for GS to say, "Here, hold this 35mm for a second, bud"!😂
Not to be that guy...but it's a 30mm.
You prove over and over what Chuck Yager said, "It's not the plane, it's the pilot". Good job.
Hey try the f86 saber vs the A10 warthog
Would love to see a F8F Bearcat v everything.
Man. Every new video I think “best one yet”. Except for this one. I didn’t just think it, I felt the need to comment too. Best one yet.
Can the A10 do the split throttle in a dogfight? Very curious to see the results
Split throttling doesn’t work the way it does in top gun lmao you use the split throttle for sharper turns with low speeds
That’s what he would be using it for here.
To be honest I didn't expect the A10 to get a F22 kill.... let alone 2.
Seing that rather un-aerodynamic looking A-10 just shred up the futuristic spaceship that is he F-22 is something else man...
That last shot screams for a slogan. "The A-10...Can you take a missile to the face?"
A-10: is the US's most rugged, durable aircraft, can take a SAM hit and 3,000 bullets and be fine
F-22: hold this my dude
Excellent....great to see the underdog take 2 of 4. Perfect crash landing. 👍
A-10: 🎶I am a gun and I fill you with hoooles
Many many hoooooooles
MANY MANY HOOOOOOOOOOLES!!🎶

Thank you for doing this video! I was curious how this would play out
Wouldn't shock me if many sub-sonics can beat an F-22. Its just not what it was built to do.
