The funny part is that the facets of the A-10 that make it a great tank hunter also let it dominate in a close in air-to-air fight. Tight turning radius and the GAU-8 will absolutely wreck anything in the sky that lets it get too close.
@Allabaster84 The A10 is great at destroying ground targets and has great low speed handleing, but i disagree with you, the designed isnt ment for air to air. IF it goes head to head with a purpose built air to air fighter, it wouldnt be defenceless but it wouldnt dominate. It doesnt even have a radar.
this isnt all close air support (cas) alot of this vid is forward air control. jsut about every time the a-10 fires a rocket pod 2 inch rocket thats fac to lead other planes on ground targets.
@wastecan300 You have no goddamn clue what an FAC is. An FAC is a troop on the ground that coordinates which aircraft are to attack with what order, what direction, and what ordnance. An aircraft doesn't have to expend all of it's weapons on 1 run. There is a thing called over kill. You don't have to shoot 20 rockets into an area where there may be 5 enemy troops at.

Yet another A-10 video ruined by music. The only music we wanna hear is from that 30mm gun.
