Sorry dude, it's the A-10 THUNDERBolt, not Lightingbolt. You gotta love that first clip of live fire. You hear the louder gun "burp" a short burst of fire and then a second or two later, you hear the HE rounds it just fired detonating on the target. I've heard these live fire a ton and with HE's in the magazine, it's amazing how well the round's detonation is heard for an incredible distance. When the gun was first designed, the original @$200Million "prototype" was a slightly different design than what they are now, and due to where the original's engines were located, when the pilot fired the prototype's GAU-8 gun for the first time, the exhaust from the gun flamed out BOTH engines! Considering he was in a low-flying strafe at the time, it're really a testament to how good of a pilot he really was because he managed to land the bird. After that, the engines were moved more outboard to the fuselage and slightly higher above the wing to eliminate this from happening again. I have 3 GAU-8 rounds in my personal artillery shell collection (all inert of course). I have an HE, the DU (Depleted Uranium) and the even rarer cyclic test rounds that the armorer uses for test cycling the gun after repair/setup. These test rounds are just chunks of metal and they are rarer because they usually end up in the trash after they have been cycled. Also, dude, DU rounds were internationally outlawed for use DECADES ago, right after the original Gulf War (Bush vs. Saddam). They left too much radioactive dust all over the battlefield, which was uber-dangerous/toxic for the troops. The AP rounds they use now have a hardened Tungsten core; those work just fine and don;lt cause the ground troops to die... Real Eng. guy, you really should do a bit more research before making a video about something. You even got the NAME of this bird wrong!!! Maybe I should start making videos! I'll call myself ACCURATE Engineering... LoL

@Feeds Ravens yes the firing barrel is centerline (roughly 7 o'clock position when looking at it head on). While the gun is slightly offset the bullets are centerline. The firing position is also below the horizontal center of mass so the nose wants to pitch down when fired. There's a stability system that keeps it on target though.

Uranium is a really good at anti armor due to its physical properties. A typical DU slug is a cylinder with a taper on one end with a flat point. When that flat point hits armor, it begins to shear off material from that flat point. It begins to self sharpen into a point as it goes through the armor. Now all that sharpening makes a lot of depleted uranium dust. That dust ignites in the air, and once the slug is through the armor, it can cause secondary fires inside. And what is dangerous about depleted uranium, is it acts as a heavy metal (duh) in your body. The radiation is rather minimal considering the half life. The physical and chemical properties outweigh the radiation dangers. And they are serious concerns in their own rights due to how the projectiles work. Also doesn't help that DU also composes part of really good armor for tanks. There will be massive amounts of carcinogenic DU dust, in any future tank on tank battles.

I remember back in the early-80's we were hiking at some national park, probably in the Mojave desert or maybe Nevada, and we're at the exit of a mountain canyon with a great sprawling view of the desert below, when this A-10 suddenly comes screaming by, through the canyon, turned sideways, barely off the ground -- scared the hell out of the group we were in, then as it continued on towards the open desert, it waggled its wings, and a lot of us cheered. The ranger or whoever was leading the hike (so long ago I can't remember the context anymore) explained to us that further down the canyon, all by itself, is a small cabin where a retired military vet lived, and the A-10 pilots loved to pay him a visit by thundering by his house at eye-level.

The pilot loved them because he felt he could get hit with everything the enemy had, and still be able to fly home. Neither of them expected the replacement to be equal, or even an effective, replacement. They were just two guys talking in a bar, so take it for what that's worth.

The amount of soldiers who appreciate having the A-10 flying around, should be reason enough alone to keep it in the inventory. It saves lives and does something no other plane can.
@MarloSoBalJr4 жыл бұрын
And significant fact, it's slow (which is a good thing). F-16 are meant to take out a target from 2 miles away and gtfo quickly; while the A-10 would brrrt at a slow speed alongside allies. Speed is not always the solution which is why the A-10 has lasted this long but try convincing the Pentagon otherwise.

@@MarloSoBalJr You're implying the F-16 can't fly at 700km/h. When it can do so easily. The reason the A-10 still exists is because of congress lobbying to keep certain factories in operation in specific states like Michigan. It has nothing to do with the A-10's ability to sit in hangars.
@HuntingTarg4 жыл бұрын
@@Nothing_._Here Not "easily." If memory serves, the F-16's stall speed is around 250 knots airspeed or about mach 0.35 I don't know specs of the A-10, but I'm fairly confident that it can not only fly at that speed, but shoot and maneuver. Never mind that it doesn't need an APU or its own specially trained maintenance squad - a single master mechanic can tell grease monkeys how to do most maintenance (aside from the dangerous stuff like ordinance loading and refueling). Congress isn't appeasing contractors by keeping the A-10 in service; that's what SLS is doing. Like the Harrier, it's going to be hard to replace - not just operationally, but in the cultural _mythos_ of the US Military.

Got a buddy who's a retired 18 Delta (10th Group). Years ago he spent a lot of time running around Afghanistan. One day he and his team walked right into a hornet's nest and found themselves literally surrounded by what later reports estimated to be almost 100 bad guys. Someone made a call in the middle of the TIC and minutes later an A-10 showed up flying low and slow. Two minutes later the gun fight was over. My friend earned both a Bronze Star and Purple Heart that day, but he's quick to point out he never would have seen them had it not been for the A-10 and its pilot. That's why, even 15 years later, he still buys a drink for any A-10 pilot he meets. Said he'd buy one for the aircraft, too, if he could.
