The Fairchild-Republic A-10 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 attack aircraft against ground targets. It is the first US Air Force aircraft designed exclusively for close air support (CAS) of ground forces. 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.

    So if the A10 is so good, and A10 pilots are so good, Then how come they keep dropping bombs on U.K. APC's and troops. Never used to happen when I was in the Air Force, perhaps standards have fallen. When you see that and A10 pilots wearing Stetsons in the cockpit you can see why the world hates us.

    the US is israel, anything that gets "messy" is because the US got involved, they get involved with everything that is not their business. if they have "peacekeepers/terrorists" anywhere its because they just bombed the F**k out of it. remember that one countrys freedom fighter is another countrys terrorist, with the US you can tick all the boxes to class them as a terrorist country. afganistan, vietnam, irak, iran, saudi arabia,

    May I point out that Australia was involved in vietnam? You had your ass kicked just as badly as we did. So you face the F**king truth because without the USA you'd be speaking Japanese. In fact the USA spent billions to help you and the rest of the F**king world rebuild after WW2, I'm sure glad your all grateful!

    Ok, the P-47 is a good one at taking hits too.
    Goes to show, that you have to go that far back to find anything with the same staying power. The role is being phased out for some stupid reason...
    Looks like the A10 might be the last tactical ground attack airplane.
