I only see you dropping flares. Isn't the SA13 firing radar guided missiles? Also, why are the surface to air missiles so much easier to defeat that air to air missiles?

[@vincentvoncarnap]

@@ryanomac27 The SA13 is firing IR guided missiles, but uses a radar for target detection. Like how you would use the radar in a F16 to slew the AIM9 seeker onto a target. Hope this helps.

[@ryanomac27]

@@vincentvoncarnap Ahh, makes sense. I guess this also accounts for the relatively short range as well. What not just use optical tracking to "point" the missile as well, or some sort of IRST? Anyway, thanks for the heads up.

[@JonNo86]

I remember watching an episode of future weapons that explained those CBUs and I was in utter shock and awe. I can’t believe how well those are modeled in DCS! You can probably take out an entire armored brigade with a full flight of A-10’s full of those.

[@rhysgoodman7628]

Oh absolutely. About 12 CBUs per A-10. One CBU is forty tank-killing skeets. The only reason each vehicle was hit more than once in this video was because there were more skeets than vehicles! One CBU could theoretically destroy forty tanks. Emphasis on theoretically. Not in practice.

CBU-97 are awesome, i love using them on the f-16 doing sead/dead runs. Tossing them on a S-300 site and killing nearly everything is a different kind of satisfaction.

[@christopherdaub7451]

When I was in basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood we could see A-10s running circles over a training range climbing, diving, and doing strafing runs in pairs. It was quite a sight and very reassuring for those of who knew we were very likely to go overseas.

There's something really satisfying about seeing an aircraft loaded with air to ground weapons doing its attack run. The amount of damage beasts like the A-10 cause on the battlefield is frightening and beautiful at the same time.

When the word “tremendous” is used to quantify the amount of CBUs loaded, it’s going to be a good one.

The Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) is an international treaty that prohibits all use, transfer, production, and stockpiling of cluster bombs, a type of explosive weapon which scatters submunitions ("bomblets") over an area.

Unsurprisingly, the US did not join this treaty, instead opting to make an environmentally friendly type of Cluster Munition, with the skeets automatically self-destructing when no target is found.

[@ItsMe-p2q]

The Navy use to have a weapon called the AIM-122, a short range HARM missile converted from old AIM-9C missiles which would have been perfect for the A-10, especially if if had a dual seeker and could be used as either anti-air, or anti-radiation.

[@Snoopyflyingace80]

The BLU-108s are able to impart spin on the skeets by the way of angled rocket motors on the PDB, hence why they pop up as they're throwing out the skeets. Not sure if it's modeled here, but an updated version of the skeets have an EFP center as well as scoring around the edge of the plate, resulting in a shotgun-like effect while the EFP is being formed upon detonation.

I can only imagine the amount of morale boost a single hog can be for the boots in the ground. Imagine being a foot soldier and there’s a massive convoy of mounted enemy units headed your way, but by the time they get to you, most of them are already dead, your fight is minimized, and while you’re fighting the A-10 is continuing to pummel them from above, and you both go at it until there’s nothing left to shoot at. Imagine the horror the opfor would feel from having their attacking force be completely annihilated. There has been debate about the A-10 being decommissioned and replaced, but no other American aircraft made yet can truly fulfill the niche that the warthog fills. The loiter time. The amount of armament. The survivability. The sheer brute strength of the brrrrrrrrrt. The only justifiable reason to decommission the current fleet of A-10s would be to have new ones built, or a new design that improves on the current design built in place of new A-10s.
