US SECRET A10 Warthog - US Finally Tests In ISRAEL!

US SECRET A10 Warthog - US Finally Tests In ISRAEL!
On October 7, a war broke out between Israel and Hamas, it is the largest war between the sworn enemies in decades, complete with air strikes, ground invasions, hostage-taking, and the threat of growing into a world war. And like every major war involving America’s allies, the question has arisen, will the A-10 Thunderbolt II get involved. The A-10 is a lethal beast in the sky that provides close air support like no other aircraft before it. But there’s one after it looking to snatch the crown - the F-35 Lightning II, the most versatile and most intelligent fighter the world has ever seen. There’s been a rivalry between these two American aircraft for years. The Israel-Hamas war could be the perfect theater to settle it once and for all.

If one can have a favorite weapon of war, I’ll take the A-10

[@rebelliouslord7646]

A-10 and Mig 27

[@WestTexasStyle]

The A10 is irreplaceable in its zone! This is the optimal aircraft for everything it’s been tasked to do. Updates yes… replacement NO. Love this aircraft.

[@sgt.gunslinger1532]

The A10 is not an aircraft, its a gun that so happens to have wings, engines and a cockpit. Thats seriously how it was designed.

[@redbird1218]

I have yet to hear of a single plane that can outperform the A10 in shear survivability after damage.😊

[@jhare18]

The A 10 is tested and proven itself time and time again in actual battle. The upgrades enhance further its lethality. An excellent news and morale booster for the grunts and friendly boots on the ground. The F 35 still needs to prove itself.

[@davidohare2933]

The F35 never will be able to; the weapons payload and loiter times are night and day. A single A10 is probably equal to 4 or 5 F35s in terms and lethality, and they cant take the same damage. Sure they stay out of that small arms and anti air gun fire but 1 strafing run from the a10 and it still have more ammo and bombs not used to take out the anti-air. Anyway creating a novel here... the leaders who run the money are corrupt and want their deals. But upgrading the A10 may have just saved it because its lethality is now going to go through the stratosphere.

[@captin3149]

@@davidohare2933 It would take another plane custom built to do the job to replace the A-10 effectively. A plane meant to do too many roles just isn't going to compare.

[@dvig3261]

The A-10 is absolutely feared by our enemies. Let's use that advantage and improve on the capabilities it already has.

[@Billetus]

This is a huge mistake. Nothing beats the A-10 in infantry ground support.

[@markwade272]

The military should keep the A-10 in service for as long as they can, it's a flying tank, that saves military lives, the F-35 should remain as a search and destroy weapon, it's not good for ground support!

[@MH5XXXX]

The F-35 is too fast for CLOSE AIR SUPPORT. THE A-10 is PERFECT FOR THE JOB.

the A 10 carries more weapons I think and being able to go slower can do more infantry?

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Outstanding aircraft! Love that Gau-8 + Mavericks omg. Outstanding weapons.

[@anthonymuzyczek]

A-10 is the best ground support attack aircraft hands down. Second, in my opinion, is the AC-130 Gunships. That's pretty much all you need right there for ground support. Keep the fighters for aerial support and air dominance, roles they are meant for!

[@ursus9104]

A10 would shine in the sky over eastern Ukraine like no other.

[@skimpypockets]

F 35 covering the A 10 would be devastating

[@cedarpoplar]

It sounds like they both have different roles to play. It's like trying to compare apples to oranges. They are on two different categories. They shouldn't be compared because it just doesn't make sense 😕

[@jasonprivately1764]

F35... With no cannon and no protection for ground based assets. Give me a break. The a10 is MADE FOR close combat support. Give it and it's support elements to the army. It's made for ground support anyway. And the new one in testing is supposed to be even better.

[@georgegarvey7338]

I say keep them both as a military man myself.

[@alanrainey5022]

Fantasy

[@georgegarvey7338]

[@johnwinter7597]

the f-35a does have a gun and if you look at the A-10 record its gun is a joke that can’t hit anything! A ww2 plane has a lot better chance to hit ground targets. Not that the A-10 isn’t great but only from the same weapons the f35 can’t use

[@randybegon3191]

I was at a war games in 89 and f15 had 2 passes on targets they checked the results about 30 percent success the A10 made 1 pass and complete destruction of all targets the thing is an ass whooping on wings

What IF...all of those decision makers had a son or daughter fighting on the front lines ? Which aircraft would those sons want covering their butts in a bad situation ? Suddenly, budgets would have a diffetent feel. Many diffetent needs in battle and the A-10 doesnt fill them all, but it fills IT'S mission better thsn anything else we have. Why screw that up ?

[@TheHuslerSon]

The 35 and the A10 are both needed its clear that the 35 is best for long distance fast interception of other Jets and hitting targets from long range it is also clear the 35 is not good at close combat when it comes to assisting ground artillery and troops in low altitude on the other hand the A10 it's clear that it's the best when it comes to close combat encounters with Arsenal artillery and military presence in the location it's more of a close range deployable backup unit for ground units so therefore you see that both the 35 and the A10 are both needed for their different roles the 35 for fast response at long distance long range targets and dog fights at high altitude it is the goat of high altitude and the A10 for fast ground support its sufficient in dog fights in low altitude it is the Goat of backing up ground forces at low altitude

[@BartVanAllen]

very different operational attributes - to compare them is irrational. You nailed it

[@tobiastran1553]

[@troygoggans5495]

I have read a number of articles that upkeep for the F35 is a nightmare and usually 50 percent of the F35s are down and the expense for upkeep has bloomed into a huge expense.

[@universeusa]

💪🇺🇸

[@extantia]

It seems that the stealth properties of the F35, great for high speed, long range one-time strikes deep into enemy territory at night, would be lost or compromised with repeated low level surgical strikes during daylight hours which are often required for close air support. In the latter case you have an extremely expensive aircraft not as durable as the A10 subject to all sorts of ground fire that may not rely on radar or heat guided weapons.

[@badguy5554]

For ground support..."low and slow"...and...."always there"....is what's important. I don't believe ANY jet powered "fighter jet" can fullfill those features.

[@vincentknight9873]

No comparison the a-10 was meant for support of the troops and cost a lot less than an f.35 and maintenance and care for the aircraft costs just about the same

[@richardsiebels1914]

The F-35 has such a limited amount of both cannon fire rounds and air to ground weapons storage, that it is impotent in supporting ground troops and performing ground attack missions.

[@dannyhorn8588]

THE DIFFERCE IS IN THE COST

[@bobbrown8661]

Gun goes BRRRRRRRRTTTTTT

[@markburke2533]

F 35 holds its weapons inside which limits it's abilities. It also has minimal defenses, not designed for close support.

[@johnadams7402]

The A-10 is the clear winner in it's ground support role. Armored, heavily armed, agile. Just what's needed.

[@76MUTiger]

I have to believe the purchase price and operating cost of the A-10 is way less than the F-35. And its durability after battle damage is awesome. A-10s are better at what they do and cheaper. Don't throw away F-35s when they could be doing what they are really good at.

[@johnelliott4521]

Should still be in production, was designed for close support. Originally meant for army,but AF didn't want army having jets. Tried killing it off from day one

[@kevinhanley2012]

It may seem like an unusual association but having hunted all my life I have found by going slower and observing (with all my senses) I see more and am much more successful than moving quickly and missing details that are vital to success. Having been in the infantry, though never in combat, it makes more sense to me that the A-10 would be my choice for support on the actual battlefield.

[@Steve-dg3md]

And let's not forget that the A-10 was involved in two friendly fire incidents in the 1st Gulf War.

[@dentalnovember]

That you know of. It was worse than that but the negative publicity was bad for the public sentiment.

[@percy9406]

A street fight ultimately comes down to who can take a punch. The F 35 just can't take a hit and costs a crap load. This doesn't even mention the psychological factor of the sound of the gun.

Thunder verses Lightning

[@kirkengnath5501]

I am sorry the F 35 is a fast mover plus it is designed as a Fighter Jet Hensel the F in F 35. To get a aircraft to replace the A 10 it need's too do exactly what the A 10 dose better than the A 10. You see the A 10 is not a multi purpose aircraft, which is why the A 10 dose the close ground support job incredibly well if not perfectly. Loose the A 10 and you better make sure ground troops all have their Willis signed and filed because they will come home in body bag's.

[@b.p.stimemachines2327]

[@jasonbose3507]

THESE PLANES CANNOT BE COMPARED TOGETHER! The mission designs specs ARE DIFFERENT from each other. The A-10 is designed to support infantry, tank, and combat support in EXTREME SITUATIONS. The A-10 does really close quarter combat and the cockpit is tubbed in titanium. THE F-35 WAS NOT DESIGNED the same way or specs. so they don't compare. The F-16 is BETTER suited for A-10 roles than the F-35. The F-35 is like a modern HARRIER JET, that's it! Please consider engineering spec. designs and TOUGHNESS in battle before making any assumptions. Thanks for the video 📸.

[@kenegerton7512]

BS. There's no rivalry. One does one thing The other does something compleatly different. There's no controversy for the troops on the ground. When the need close air support? They ask for an A10. If A10 isn't available.... Sure , send whatever you can get.

[@CommackMark]

Just seems to me.... and granted im certainly no expert.... that the A10 cannot be outperformed in its close ground support role by the F35..... which is a supersonic air to air fighter. Doesn't make sense. The A10 is loaded with heavy armor... the F35 is designed with relatively light weight stealth skin. Maybe the entire thing was a ploy... a threat... to get funding upgrades for the A10. One thing I know for sure.... America needs to maintain its military superiority in this dangerous world.

[@Tam58851520]

No better close air support aircraft than the A-10 period. It's an apple to orange comparison as the F-35 does many thing better than the A-10, bur CAS is not one of them.

[@vaughanellis7866]

The A10 has another advantage over the F35, the A10 can easily be repaired in the field with hand tools. The only replacement for an A10 is another A10, and if the Air Force do not want the A10 I'm Sure that the Marines could make good use of it and they'd take it lock, stock, and barrel, as is,

[@chooch5728]

Russia HAD the largest tank fleet😂

[@psdaengr911]

The A10 was purpose built to be a durable low cost, easy to maintain, ground support anti-tank and mobile artillery attack aircraft. The F35 is neither inexpensive nor easy to maintain. The munitions that are available for these two aircraft are unsuitable for precision strikes with compact zones of damage. (30mm depleted uranium rounds that miss a hard target can travel a mile, blast through commercial and residential buildings as if they were paper). That makes them unsuitable for high population density areas unless so-called "collateral damage" is totally acceptable. Small drones like those being used in Ukraine would be more suitable and far less expensive, but infantry with drone support is a much better alternative.
