This large twin-engine plane was built for the U.S. Air Force for troop
support and anti-tank missions. Despite its extensive amour and armament
the A-10 is highly maneuverable which is particularly important to
overcome enemy anti-aircraft fire. The Thunderbolt (also called
"Warthog") was practically built around its remarkable 30 mm gun GAU-8,
which can perforate tank amour with its special high performance
ammunition. The aircraft was widely used during the Gulf War, where it
successfully destroyed a few hundred Iraqis vehicles with minimum losses
despite the heavy enemy defense of conventional and missile fire power.
A.10 Around the mid-2000s, the A-10, updated to "C" standard, has been
improved to be in line with the changed and evolved operational needs.
The A-10C is, in fact, the most modern version of the robust and
reliable strike aircraft able to use the most advanced weapon systems and target acquisition pods.
