Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft designed to provide close air support (CAS) of ground forces by attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets. As a secondary mission, it provides airborne forward air control, guiding other aircraft against ground targets. It is the first US Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for CAS. The official nickname comes from the P-47 Thunderbolt of World War II, a plane that was particularly effective at the CAS mission. However, the A-10 is more commonly known as Warthog or simply Hog. In the USAF inventory, the same airframe is also designated OA-10 when used primarily in a forward air control role.

  • @AdamSchaller1 let me guess kid 3's name was little billy?

  • Does no one else grasp the irony of using Rage Against the Machine to soundtrack the military might of United States warplanes?

  • The use of Depleted Uranium Projectiles converts a conventional war into a nuclear war. Upon impact DUP become pyrophoric helping to penetrate tank armor like a hot knife through butter. The by product is a white powder that gives off low does gamma radiation. This dust has a half life of 400 billion years and is blown around with the wind. This dust has caused sever birth defects to babies that were fathered by American soldiers as well as Iraqi woman. The morphology is the same.... :-(

  • ...ex prez Bill Clinton was about to scrap all the A-10's...

  • If i would sit in a tank in times of war and hear there were enemy A-10's around, i would GTFO and never come back... fact.

  • mute button works!

  • Ahh I love Rage Against The Machine, great song.

  • BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!­!!!...

  • lol if your not amazed by the Warthog armor and speed, then be amazed by the GAU8 machine gun that the plane is built around. Each bullet is about the size of a wine bottle and explosive
