  • I love the sound of that buzzsaw =]

  • Look watch?v=fOaTEDYJmi0

  • DODLIVE.MIL Chairman's Corner 2-16-11 @NoradNorthcom WAR:KILL ALL STINKING C-SUCKING GINI LOW-LIVES AND ENEMY ALI MEDIA LOW-LIVES! NO EXCUSES! WIN THE WAR:DEAD ALL THESE LOW-LIVES TO HELL!

  • God I love being an FO and getting to call this shit it- Fuckin' love the ARMY

  • makes me feel ok about being jobless and loosing my home

  • lol the main guy talking dropped the f bomb in a warzone lol.

  • Hopefully the f-35 doesn't replace it cause f-35 looks allot more expensive and less capable.

  • i am so glad im an aussie soldier haha i wish we had some of those bad boys :P

  • Godzilla and king kong both run away when they hear the sound of that

  • God Bless those A-10's. Nothing sounds like one of those things coming in. I don't care how muslim, or how radical you are. That GAU will put the fear of Jesus in you when it starts humming.

  • at 1:02 he shows his penis to demoralize talibans?

  • and yet the air force keeps wanting to get rid of that magnificent bastard.

  • @deboshadow I doubt it's the USAF that wants to get rid of the A-10.

  • @Bleakunending The airforce tried to get rid of it. When they found out that the army wanted to have all their A-10's that they wanted to get rid of all of a sudden the air force liked the A-10 again.

  • Hm...if you see an A-10 and a puff of smoke trails behind it then disappears........HIDE.

  • @Icowom If you see a puff of smoke, it's probably too late.

  • Eh...what a godforesaken place. I'd be pissed off if I lived there.

  • ispanic guy say. comandante, y aqui en u.s.a lo tratan como perros a los emigrantes,, thats is sad,,

  • Imagine someone never having seen a plane. Imagine they see this footage and listen to the sound of that growling Avenger cannon reverbing off those mountains. Then show them a picture of an A-10 with one of the toothed paint scheme variations. That's a dragon.

  • @Jalfmar3 they really do think that. afghans in the korengal valley thought that we "emerged from the belly of the beast" but really it was Soldiers exiting a chinook helicopter on a mountain top.

  • @Jalfmar3 We should tell that to the Chinese lol

  • lol fags, the US Army has more A10s than the USAF. So chances are this was an Army pilot

  • @joseph299 As a former Scout/Ranger that has called in many a airstrike in my life , I must very respectfully tell you that in this case you are dead wrong. All A-10s are flown by either Air force , Air force reserve or Air national guard pilots. The army ceased to fly fixed wing fighter, attack or reconaissance planes after the formation of the Air force and the disbanding of the old Army Air Corps.

  • @joseph299 fail

  • Mountain (1) - A-10 (0) ...... Taliban using "mother nature bunkers" :P

  • CLOSE air support indeed. For reference, usual loadout of an A-10 is a party mix of explosive rounds and anti tank shrapnel rounds

  • holy shit that sounds like some bog ass fucked up whale

  • I don't even want to see the aftermath of that. Think around 50 rounds per second, each the size of a milk bottle and travelling several times the speed of sound. Not getting up from that, I'm afraid.

  • 25 terrorist died from the A-10

  • its a GAU-8 gun in an A10 plane

  • lol army is funny trying to tell the air force how to direct air craft....

  • @08Superman25 it's called "Forward Observer". Yes somebody thought of it, and it's an actual job. Believe it or not the Army and Air Force play nice sometimes. That's why we have separate branches of service fighting the same war.

  • @MattHeaven i know there is such a thing, i actually do work with them, but if you know anything about their job you will know that they have no such authority to control fixed wing aircraft unless in an e-cas situation, and even then, 9/10 times its probly an air force JTAC controlling it through him from a near by fob... not saying your wrong just saying i probly i know a little more about something like this than you considering it is my job... unless your a JTAC also

  • @08Superman25 I get what you're saying, but you still need eyes on the ground from the ground, and the JTAC isn't that guy. So regardless, of who actually tells the pilot to fire at what, the Army or Marines are still fully trained on how to walk in air support just like IDF. If you want the eyes on the ground to do a more precise job than write a letter to your congressman to change the SOP. I guarantee they're doing exactly as they were trained, which is probably what the AF asked for.

  • @MattHeaven lol actually if you know anything about the job, JTACS are on the ground also.... dunno were you get your info, but in my job (happens to be JTAC) im on the ground operating with army infantry units, and mechanized infantry units... and yes we do go out on missions...

  • @08Superman25 The only time JTACS go out on missions with infantry is if the mission already calls for air support AHEAD OF TIME. JTACS are not embedded in every infantry unit in theater. If they were, then they wouldn't be a JTAC, they would be a permanent position in the Army. Therefore there will always be a lone forward observer out there calling in air support from the AF, Army, or Marines.

  • @MattHeaven LMAO actually they go out even if there isnt air on station.. i know ive went out on to many missions to count where air wasnt requested prior, and also they are AIR FORCE JTACS so that way the army ground commander cant order his own troops to drop on an illegal target, thats where the sanity check comes in on the air force side and they can say yes or no. Apparently you need to do a little more research before you start talking about something you know nothing about... like my job

  • @08Superman25 well it's funny how I've been in the Army for over 10 years, and not once, ever, on multiple deployments and duty stations, have I ever seen a JTAC permanently imbedded in a unit going out on all their missions with them. I've seen more free-lance camera men imbedded.

  • @MattHeaven LMAO you must be one of those guys up at corp or something where you stay on the base and hate going out... and yes it is funny because my deployment i went out all the time, but i guess i have no idea what im talking about and me getting army medals and CABs from the army cause i was with army units on foot movements means i wasnt there right? i guess i have no idea what MY job is and what i do when im deployed... your right JTACS never go out and JFO's have all clearance...

  • @MattHeaven oh and by the way everyone at my squadron thinks your a complete retard cause of the stupid BS you put on here about this... even the army JFO's down the street that we train with think your a retard.... so you might want to get your facts straight before you post something retarded on here again...

  • @08Superman25 I'm sure you think that the world revolves around you, and that the way things are run in your AO are exactly the way it's run everywhere else in the world in every single deployed environment. Hey, maybe you do go out on every single mission. Good for you. You're one of the first AF personnel I've ever talked to that does. This isn't my first rodeo and I've seen a thing or two myself. You're not the only person that goes out on missions consistently.

  • ww2 had some wicked war from the woods and street..what i see now fro afghanistan is always some americans screaming shoot abit agains nothing and scream woohooo looks like alot of unpr american soldiers dont have a clue and dont really get it.you never see scandinavians ore germans and english men behave like some kids that are to young and naiv..to get people that real soldierscar he need to see what it feels to fight a war 30 meters from the enemy and not 20 meters and act up for the cam

  • Fuckin poo poo on old hadj and hid fuckin mountain

  • Hadj thought he had the high grounds "until"...

  • those insurgents might as well be throwing rocks when face to face with 30mm fire.

  • The way it makes a fart sound implies the idea that it's literally taking a shit on the enemy then flying away saying "FUCK YOU BIATCH!!!!"

  • @crazyfreakypunk The camera mic doesn't do the sound of that gun justice. When you here one it doesn't sould like a fart, it sounds like some kind of mechanical monster roaring. It's truly a frightening sound. And it echos over a long distance.

  • @MegaVolcano Lol I placed my comment before I heard the vid. I just copied and pasted my comment on another vid. my bad

  • At 0:10 those two smoke trails are actually the exhaust from the Avenger. That might give you an idea on how far away that A-10 is. The muzzle velocity is 3,500ft/s, which means that those 30mm rounds leave the barrel at mach 3.1, or 2,386mph.

    All in all, if you do the math (using the proper equations) you should come up with the minimum amount of rape the A-10 Warthog has at any given moment. You can also find out the exact amount of win, but that should be common knowledge by now.

  • @sirmicro

    The Islamofacists have fired surface-air missiles at coalitian planes on a number of occasions with increasing regularity. It was one of the things that surfaced in the big leak of pentagon documents on Wikileaks. Although the mujahideen got Stingers supplied by the US in the 80s, the batteries on those will no longer be functional, so these new ones are being supplied via Iran or even via elements in Pakistan's ISI that support the Taliban.

  • @lameplanet Holy shit, an educated commenter on youtube? How nice to finally see on amidst the call of duty pros and keyboard commandos.

  • Why is the A-10 releasing flares? Do the freedom fighters have heat seeking SAM's ??

  • @sirmicro

    It's all part of the procedure pilots do when attacking. This is when the term "train as you fight, fight as you train," comes into play. The pilots are trained to release flares after making a run, so they tend to do it in combat. In combat against a conventional force, the flares would be used as countermeasures, as the A-10 is very vulnerable when turning away to set up another run. But we have tactics and technology to help eliminate this vulnerability.

  • @sirmicro Its just procedure for pilots to pop flares as they go into an evasive manuever after a run.

  • we uesd to call it God's zipper!

  • I love the "fart" that the A-10s make. It's todays napalm. You love the smell of it like you like the sound.

  • that shot of the A-10 peeling off and popping flares is too awesome!

  • why do they launch flares when they break left or right? it always seems like they do

  • @a1excool433 cause since the flares are hotter than the engine it makes the heat seaking missles go for the flares and not the A-10. Then they break away from that spot so the missle goes to the fares not the plane

  • dear god i miss those days as unconfortable shitty and dirty... i dont talk to anyone anymore and i miss the stateside army posts.. those people active duty. please pray for our troops.. they need us.

  • Push`em to the next hilltop to the east, and unload some more on their slack twisted ass'...lol!

  • OMFG i just found out that's the sound of the doors of hell open!

  • F16 drops its bombs and leaves.. A10 drops its bombs, stays up and continues the air support for hours. Gotta love it.

  • The GAU-8 30mm, almost enuff dakka.

    There is no such thing as enuff dakka but this motherfucker comes pretty close.

  • That noise scares the shit out of me!

  • the most beautiful part is to see a Taliban bastard cut in half i would pay to have THE CHANCE

  • @renepintazzo

    Cut in half? He'd be *jello* after this!

  • The GAU8 sound makes me soil my pants every time.

  • omg i love the humming noise...makes me happy that that sound is the last some ragheads ever hear...

  • A-10:bbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    taliban 1 :hey Amhed did you just farted?

    taliban 2 : no why? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! -dead-

  • @JrGuacamoles Actually they would be dead before they hear the sound :P

  • I love the sound of the Might Gau-8. It is like the Plane is farting.

    I have seen a A-10 doing a maneuverability Demo. For a flying tank, it is damn maneuverable.

  • im a vetran you stupid fuck served in desert storm..

  • rahim bachesh beshak rahim wow rahim is d best tanks usa arme

  • Birds of prey.

  • bf2 rules storm the fucker dont be pussies you can always respawn in 15 seconds

  • @IRONMAIDENFAN2006 This. LOL at these nubz.

  • @IRONMAIDENFAN2006 U R fucking stupid

  • @tekknorat no but your an asshole

  • @IRONMAIDENFAN2006 I know, but you have never seen real war, and you never will, cause none of military forces takes pussies like you.

  • That noise is like a horn of the gods.

  • That buzz after the rounds hit always creeps me out, reminds me of the the tripod things from war of the worlds.

  • @iscrpy

    my thought exactly!

  • nice finger

  • LOL!! now i know what you meant :-)

  • what are they speaking? Arabic?

  • Dari or Pashto. They are afghan soldiers.

  • Because they are operating together with arab troops

  • he saying..run to the top and wave goodbye!!!!!!!! :-)

  • Gee agbailiff I read all that tech stuff in militaryairpower magazine back in the coldwar. its not exactly top secret. It is and ancient but effective weapons system that was almost s crapped at the end of the previously mentioned coldwar. came in handy in the original desert storm.......

  • "hey Rahim, tell those guys to watch that fuckin rock over to the east..."

  • "watch that fucking rock to the east..."

  • @DedyPhlincke "which rock sir?"

  • air soft corps basics

  • Does anybody know to which unit the American belongs?

  • Sounds cool

  • I think it was a 16 with full auto. A 1911 always works and so does the AK.

  • @82abnoff M-16 trigger packs come with a full auto selection?

  • @nexus1g The M-16 A2 doesn't it only had semi auto, and three round burst. The military assumed it would help conserve ammunition and make for more accurate shooting in a fire fight. I think they have all but abandoned the idea. The new M4 is semi, and full auto.

  • @CoolLikePenguinNuts M4s only have Semi-auto and Burst-fire, Only M4A1s have full auto capabilities.

  • @Darkhunter218 I think your confusing that with a CAR variant M16 A2. Colt Armory made some design changes when they introduced the M4, gas ring, buffer tube, etc. to accomodate a cyclic rate of 750 rounds per minute.

  • @CoolLikePenguinNuts What I'm saying is the military variant M4 our guys use is semi-burst fire capable only, Some get the M4A1 model which is semi-burst-full.

  • i think you mean 7.62x39

  • You are correct and I do mess up on the keyboard. I did have 2 Chicom AKs in Vietnam. Oh, I forgot to say that I was an Infrantry Officer with the 101st in Vietnam,,,,not NVA.

  • nice did you prefer them over the AR-15

  • Your friend rocks.

  • as much as i love the F-16, it never could have filled the hole left by the A-10. I'm glad this baby is still in the US arsenal.

  • Ouch

  • i love seeing the 2 puffs in the air, the rounds hit, THEN you hear the "brrraaapppp... bbrrraaaaaapp" ahh supersonic bitches, SUPER-SONIC ! ! ! ! ! !

  • Fuck yeah, shit nearly gives me a stiffy. A-10 is a sexy ass plane.

  • hell fuckin' yeah!

  • that hummng noise is so beautiful.

  • sounds like some kind of demon^^

  • @smoky90210 it really is

  • @smoky90210 thats the sound of freedom!

  • @smoky90210

    it must sound really creepy to the enemy.

  • @smoky90210 to me its quite peaceful to know that you have 30mm uranium tipped rounds coming at your enemy for a little kick ass

  • So the only solution in that terrain there would be small computer controlled helicopter drones. I am an engineer of electronics and I can help you to implement that solution.

    Pavle

  • Did you just advertise your engineering skills on a Youtube video comment? Is the economy that bad?

  • Economy is not that bad. I am a high skilled man who got into the lunatic assylum by failure.

  • it's a nice close air supporter..

    love the sound of the GAU 8 :)

  • Hell yeah. But it is a Gatling Gun not a Vulcan cannon.

  • sorry in advance, i'm going to get all picky. It's actually an "Avenger" cannon in an A10. A Gatling refers to a specific gun built in during the civil war. Many people refer to any rotating gun as a Gatling, but that is incorrect.

    Both the 20mm M61 Vulcan and the 30mm Avenger are rotary "gatling" style autocannons.

  • @russcarljohnson Is this the A-10 thunderbolt, AKA a-10 warthog? Did they use this in Afghanistan?

  • @russcarljohnson that Avenger is huge if you saw the picture

  • @russcarljohnson Actually, the term "Gatling" refers to any cannon with multiple rotating barrels. Why don't you at least try to understand what the fuck you're talking about before you get all self righteous?

  • @Joshuadrooney It depends on which hair you wish to split. Gatlin's in my eyes are civil war era rotary barrel guns created by gatlin. however, either use is technically correct.

  • @russcarljohnson True but I don't think it really matters when the lead's coming at you.

  • @russcarljohnson THE GAU-8 AVENGER mr. picky =P

  • @russcarljohnson you sir, are 100% correct!!!

  • It's pretty much a gatling cannon. Revolving barrels is the definition of a gatling style weapon. Gatling is the name of the inventor from the civil war who developed that weapon. The Warthogs cannon is nicknamed vulcan/avenger. for clarity's sake

  • dont worry about being picky atleast your right

  • Choppers may be more accurate, but the A-10 can get higher air-speed and altitude. It can get to the battlefield faster that a chopper. Plus, the sound of that vulcan cannon buzzing away gives terrorists yellow underwear.

  • i have heard that the terrorists call the a-10 silent death. mainly cause you don't hear the weapon fire until it hits the target.

  • @GrievousCommander Yellow? Umm - surely that would be a Code Brown.. brown trousers time?

    

  • Hope they kill everyone of those ugly ass talis!

  • Su-25 blows ass compared to the A-10. If I was on the ground I'd want the A-10 up there backing me up, not some Russian piece of shit.

  • true, but Su-25 got the job done and was cheap. Originally it didn't have advance electronics equipment and wasn't able to do night operations but the Russians upgraded enough to be comparable to A-10s. imo attack helies are better close air support : /

  • Yep, I'd like to have an Apache or Cobra for my CAS because it can pick off targets faster.

  • Yes, but they are also more vulnerable to small arms fire. Now that they finally upgraded the Warthog for precision ordnance and that will give it quite an edge.

  • While our planes can kick the Russkies asses, the Su25 is at least as tough as the a10, the frogfoot can take a hell of a beating. The a10's cannon is far superior to theirs though

  • primorsky-

    the speed isn't that bad. you kind of want it to be slower so you have more time and plus a-10's are monsters. they're unbelievably tough. a-10's went back to base missing one of their engines and part of their wings blown off.

  • the survivability of an a-10 is incredible + they sound great xD

  • Ugly but Well hung!

  • Peace through the applied use of superior firepower...

  • If The Devil ever had a pet, It sounds like that

  • Best description I've ever heard of it.

  • The roar of that cannon is just awesome.

  • Wow...just imagine what fear the enemy must feel when they see and hear that sound...or maybe they dont feel it at all...cuz they are propably dead before the sound reaches them

  • I agree, but only if the ordinance hits them at all.

  • I'm an A-10 weapons tech for the Maryland ANG. The gun is a 30mm GAU 8 Avenger made by General Electric. It fires approx. 3600 rounds per minute but the drum capacity is only 1174 rnds. There are 3 types of 30mm that we use:

    1-TP a steel slug for target practice. It's blue.

    2.-AP Armor piercing this has a small depleted uranium slug inside of a larger tungsten case, It's black.

    3.-API Incediary/explosive this has a small amount of explosive in it. It is red and yellow. Combatmix=4API,1AP

  • thats the A-10a isn't it? The A-10c's here that landed in Travis (they came from Nellis i believe) were able to hold 1,350 rounds of ammo

  • OPSEC you stupid shit! or do I have to remind someone at the OIC level to tell their dumbass weapons troops to STFU about the weapons specs about their goddamn weapons!

  • What are you refering to?

  • just one of those rounds is similar to a hand grenade...

  • fucken deadly sounding.

  • Fact: 10 out of 10 dead people agree, they never even heard the A10 coming!

  • lmao!

  • Sounds like a friggin' DINOSAUR or something! :D

  • nice vid!

  • Badass! Quite fearsome and impressive to hear the A-10 unleash a firehose of lead on top of someone's head.

    What is that large phallic device on the left of the screen at 1:04 to 1:15??

  • ahaha...lol!

  • Correction: Make that a firehose of depleted uranium.

  • i think theres three depleted uranium and every fourth one is a high explosive round. im sure theres different configs.

  • you mean the finger in the Lense?

  • Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr brrrrrrrrr, glad im not a terrorist, if I were a terrorist and I heard that gun i would shit myself. Amazing plane. Su-25T is very close and capability to the A-10, but being American I lean towards the A-10

  • DAMN! that gun on the A10 sounds like a dragon roar
