@MrMegacurie you are correct it was but as we started to relize what exactly the problem was (in this case AA) we built some things to deal with the problem the A-10 can now carry jamming pods to help "confuse" the AA guns unless it is manually operated then you need to use a strike aircraft to deal with it every plane has a weakness this happens to the the A-10s
@A10thunderbolt231 agreed friend! I think the A-10 is perfect for a challenge like Iraq - countries with strong ground forces but not high sophisticated SAM. So it fits the actual challenge in a perfect way!
No Riverboy 1986 I believe that's fuck you! Especially if one of these A-10's is above you on the Highway. They have what's known as LoiterTime. That's when they lower the LandingGear,Flaps, & Reduce the Throttle & do small shallow S-turns which allows them to slow their speed & stay on the Target! YOU! They can hang there for a good Five Minutes. Which means that 4:58 longer than they need to blow You to pieces of scrapmetal no bigger than a dinner plate.They Travel In Packs! 8 Planes! Yeah!
@Riverboy1986 just so you know the A-10 is made to PIERCE armor that is the whole point of the incendiary round it impacts with molten metal to pass the armor THEN explodes and if you in a tank that means you have a ton of shrapnel bouncing around inside that tin can of your i wish you the best in coming out of that
@A10thunderbolt231 Hey nerd pilot wanabe, It was a joke. I watched the video, I know the purpose/role of the A-10. I don't need a dumbass telling me shit I already know when you don't have a clue.
@Riverboy1986 your right im not a pilot never said i was and i dont have a clue? glad i spent almost a year studing these so that when they breck we have people that can fix them.
@saints360row The A-10 is equipped with a relfex motion evading system. And i didn't mentioned the amount of flares they have. It's Fire power is amazing, his defence system is amazing. Rating: Amazing. Now you know why they call the A-10 the lil' brother of the AC-130
@DC8370 -Cool, but that wasn't exactly what I was talking about. What I was talking about was that it could still fly with a big chunk of the wing missing, or even the engine. Maybe that was a different aircraft that looked very similar to this one. I don'k know, but all in all, the A-10 still kicks ass.
.
Also, you double posted. Just thought I'd let you know.

There was a time, prior to the first gulf war in '91 that the air force was in negotiations with the army to transfer the A-10 to the army so that they would have full ground support in cooperation with the AH-64 Apache. After the war started and the air force actually got to see what the A-10 could do, the air force canceled the deal and kept the A-10 to themselves.
Just wait until they mate a A-10 with a F-35 stovl aircraft just for the fun of it and it shall be really damn ugly as well --- but, it will change every thing on the battlefield !!!
For those of you who worry about the dangers of DU rounds used by the A-10, allow me to put things into perspective. DU rounds don't come cheap, and high explosive 30mm rounds are far more common. Therefore, the ONLY reason the A-10's GAU-8 would be loaded with DU rounds is that if it's 100% certain that they'll be going to take on tanks. Otherwise, they wouldn't waste DU rounds on insurgents at all.
@nintendofreak28 whoa! youre special.kinda like telling people,oranges are orange.youre a Fighter Attack Geek,or a F-A-G for short.keep up the good work.
Look who is responding you dumb ass uneducated American idiot Pedophile who has no toilet training and still lives with mommy dearest sucking on her tits for breast milk. Your whole life seems to be playing computer games. Why dont you enlist and go to Iraq and have a few live bullets shot at you. The army will send you back in a heartbeat because they will not have enough pants to equip you since you will be shitting yourself constantly.
@VisionarysDomain It's pwned retard, and it's not even a real word so I see you got Russian (Barbaric) language. And you don't know my name is Jack just because my username has it retard.
Actually Pedophile, Jack makes sense in being your real name because your full name is Jack Meoff which correlates directly with your criminal Pedophile tendancies. As far as your linguistic skills, American slang does not legitimize itself as the Engtlish language which you mumble to yourself in. Furthermore, I see you have responded twice since my last comment refutung your previous statements which proves that you are a Fuckin idiot - LMAO
@VisionarysDomain Jack Meoff? Rofl that's your name and I know you are what am I? Sorry, I don't speak to gays, pedophiles, stalkers who look on your channel just to find what video you ever comment on which equals pedostalker because you have to go to my account to track where I comment which means you're the fag. I win, KTHXBAI! :)
Whatever you say JACK MEOFF you Fuckin mumbling Idiot - LMAO With a name like JACK MEOFF , I can understand why you are so pissed off and talk shit on YT. You must have shot your Daddy after he gave you that name -LMAO
@VisionarysDomain have you ever been to Iraq? i have a very strong feeling you haven't because if you did you wouldn't be telling some one to go over there ive been there for 3 tours already and i can tell you that any veteran would NEVER wish for someone to go over seas and fight that is why they go to save someone else the hardship of leaving their faimiles knowing it could be the lkast time they see them again so please dont act like you know what it is like being over seas when you don
@VisionarysDomain Are you mad for some reason? There is nothing wrong with Americans, other than you aren't one, and that's why you hate us. I bet you wouldn't make it into any American military branch, if you were American of course. Hell, whatever pathetic excuse for a military that your country has probably wouldn't even take you. You probably are the one who still lives at home, so quit getting mad bro.
Look at my gatling gun. This is the kind of gun they used to put PLANES on. It wasn't a case of 'Oh, we got this jet fighter, it kinda needs something besides missiles and bombs and shit, let's strap this thing on'. NO. I was a case of a guy making a gun SO awesome, that he just stepped back and said 'This shit needs to fly'.
And everyone else is like, 'You can't make a gun fly!' and the first guy is all like, 'Fuck you, yes I can. I will strap a PLANE to this GUN.' And everyone's like, 'You mean stap the gun to a plane?' And the first guy is like 'No, man. I am strapping the plane to the gun. The plane is an ACCESSORY.' And then everyone's minds were blown. Like, there was some serious mind blowing going on there. Ears were bleeding.
@panzerfaust777 : Your wrong, Guns have been flying with planes attached ever since WW1 . There's nothing mind-blowingly new about this concept? Name another even close to the A-10. There is a reason Russia said if they did not have complete control of the skies over the battlefield during the Cold War the A-10 would slaughter there armor. There are several ground support aircraft that can do the job of the A-10 but none can do it better or is as feared.
There were no tank destroyer planes in WWI for obvious reasons.
Also, Su-25, Tornado, YA-9 and strike fighters like the Su-30MKK, F-15E and Su-34. Of course they lack the low-level maneuvrability and the massive gun but it's not like going in for strafing runs against an opponent that isn't outdated by a margin of 50 yrs will result in anything but the plane getting raped by MANPADS and SPAAGs. At least they're faster and survivable against other planes.
I totally agree with these sadly our government is not prioritizing our armed forces knowing how we are behind to other countries in terms of armed forces. Its simply corruption it sucks
kung ikumpara mo sa neighboring countries natin i mean sobra tayung far behind sa kanila..
and just recently may nag crush na nomad plane sa atin, i think the reason for that is maintenance,
naka pag work ako sa isang private co. conducting inspection on aircrafts primary sa AFP as Subcon
even na yung mga enlisted na sundalo bnebenta nila yung equipment ng government para lng mag ka pera sila! so by the time na may inspection wala ng magamit kasi nga na ibenta na!
there was even a time na the quotation for the propose job is naging double kasi the reason for that is half ng budget is mapunta sa mga bulsa ng mga Hi ranking officials
in short money making lang!
but they really knew that the aircraft s beyong repair kasi nga lagpas na yung flying time ng aircraft na reach na yung certain life ng airframe meaning fatigue na yung structure nya.
fortunately after several weeks nagkaroon ng oakwood mutiny via MAGDALO!
Run all the numbers at me you would like, the fact is my uncle was a 2 star general (but a colonel at the time) when he brought me to the air base he was commanding (nellis) in Vegas and sat me and my dad down at a live air power demonstration in the desert, Came strait out of his mouth when the A10s were doing their bit how they can stall from the recoil. Your engine thrust numbers are prorbably w/ afterburners going. You think they are at 100% throttle to attack something? Not likely
The only way that would be true is if the A-10 had one blown engine.
The recoil force of the GAU-8 cannon (10,000 lbf) is only slightly more than the thrust of ONE engine (9,065 lbf). The other engine (another 9,065 lbf) more than makes up for the recoil of the weapon (engines = 18,130 lbf, gun = 10,000 lbf). It only slows the plane down, it would never stall it.
Yeah right! Ask around to the many soldiers that contracted leukemia or cancer because of the depleted uranium used in recent wars. It may no longer be radioactive but inhaling the particles doesn't do any good. Sure the pilot is safe, it's the guys on the ground getting the nasty effects! And i'm talking about the friendlies.
hell yeah, give me a protective mask in my kit at least, i'm not gonna survive war to come back home and die of leukemia or cancer for the depleted uranium.
Well untrue mate that happend years ago it was bad but it was a mistake. Blue on Blue never goes away its happens to everyone. A-10s are a god send in afghanistan to all Nato troops!
Blue on blue only happened when there was alot of troops close together. Fair enough the pilot should not engage if he is not sure if it is friendly or not.. But accidents happen.
When the first Gulf war was on, these used to train over my old school, flying low and doing barrel rolls! Was some sight, doesnt even bear to think what it would be like to be on the receiving end of its fury!
In a fair world the RAF or a Royal Army Corps series of squadrons would have loads of em. Sharp teeth, tough hide, long legs, cheap as chips. This isn't a fair world however.
@leonleonceur But the bombs can cause severe damage to the plane if the pilots not careful! Dust from explosive splash enters the engine and man can it create hell.

An A-10 with afterburners?.......LOLOLOLOL
jaygdav 2 years ago 5
if the A10 were to fire its entire ammunition capacity in 1 long burst from its cannon the aircraft will stall. must be in bursts, true story!
69CRUZR 2 years ago
The only way that would be true is if the A-10 had one blown engine.
The recoil force of the GAU-8 cannon (10,000 lbf) is only slightly more than the thrust of ONE engine (9,065 lbf). The other engine (another 9,065 lbf) more than makes up for the recoil of the weapon (engines = 18,130 lbf, gun = 10,000 lbf). It only slows the plane down, it would never stall it.

The "warthog" actually gets its nickname from the cannon. The "grunting" sound it makes sounds like a warthog.
I think it is a good nickname. The plane even looks a bit like a warthog (oddly enough) with that cannon poking out its nose.

Yeah right! Ask around to the many soldiers that contracted leukemia or cancer because of the depleted uranium used in recent wars. It may no longer be radioactive but inhaling the particles doesn't do any good. Sure the pilot is safe, it's the guys on the ground getting the nasty effects! And i'm talking about the friendlies.

If you're a friendly and faced with the only other alternative when the A-10 is used, would you give a crap about possibly inhaling particles?

hell yeah, give me a protective mask in my kit at least, i'm not gonna survive war to come back home and die of leukemia or cancer for the depleted uranium.
fabrix7777 2 years ago
When it fires, wouldn't the residue from the uranium round be dangerous for the pilot?

It's a plane built around a cannon. Think about it. The PLANE is an accessory to the cannon :-D

@Elidibus Of course planes kill humans. But they usually kill their passengers.

I read that the cannon is 16 percent of the entire weight, weighs 4k pounds, and its recoil is equal to half of the A10's forward thrust.

Well untrue mate that happend years ago it was bad but it was a mistake. Blue on Blue never goes away its happens to everyone. A-10s are a god send in afghanistan to all Nato troops!
God Bless our Troops!

Blue on blue only happened when there was alot of troops close together. Fair enough the pilot should not engage if he is not sure if it is friendly or not.. But accidents happen.

When the first Gulf war was on, these used to train over my old school, flying low and doing barrel rolls! Was some sight, doesnt even bear to think what it would be like to be on the receiving end of its fury!
And how can they say its ugly??!!

I wish Britain had the A-10, i suppose we get to to call in yours, but still this is the coolest aircraft flying.

In a fair world the RAF or a Royal Army Corps series of squadrons would have loads of em. Sharp teeth, tough hide, long legs, cheap as chips. This isn't a fair world however.
