A-10 Thunderbolt (Part 2)

Uploaded by TheDesertEagle79 on Jan 18, 2009
The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force to provide close air support (CAS) of ground forces by attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets, with a limited air interdiction capability. It is the first U.S. Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for close air support.
The A-10's official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt of World War II, a fighter that was particularly effective at close air support. However, the A-10 is more commonly known by its nickname "Warthog" or simply "Hog". As a secondary mission, it provides airborne forward air control, guiding other aircraft against ground targets. A-10s used primarily in this role are designated OA-10.

@joshuaoha actually it's is not the weight (or more accurately the higher density) that's important but the shells are way harder then usual tungsten-shells
-
@daltonagre It is also best for contaminating innocent civilians, like kids, who inevitably will come into contact with the spent ammunition.

@joshuaoha Depleted uranium is the best for perfuration of armour. I live in Brazil.

Depleted uranium; it makes a heavier shell, but it still seems like a stupid idea. For many reasons.
