Description

This large twin-engine plane was built for the U.S. Air Force for troop support and anti-tank missions. Despite its extensive armour and armament the A-10 is highly maneouverable 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 armour with its special high performance ammunition. The aircraft was widely used during the Gulf War, where it successfully destroyed a few hundred Iraqui vehicles with minimum losses despite the heavy enemy defense of conventional and missile fire power.
