Watch This Insane Video: A-10 Warthog in Action

Affectionately called the “Warthog” for its aggressive look and often painted with teeth on the nose cone, the A-10 Thunderbolt II is the U.S. Air Force’s primary low-altitude close air support aircraft. The A-10 is perhaps best known for its fearsome GAU-8 Avenger 30mm gatling gun mounted on the nose. The GAU-8 is designed to fire armor-piercing depleted uranium and high explosive incendiary rounds.
The A-10 Thunderbolt II has excellent maneuverability at low air speeds and altitude, and is a highly accurate and survivable weapons-delivery platform. The aircraft can loiter near battle areas for extended periods of time and operate in low ceiling and visibility conditions.

Anytime they flew over my school during recess all the boys would immediately stop what they were doing and stare up into the sky until it was gone.

They were designed to be so cost effective so that even a tiny little airfield can land one of these things, repair it, and send it on its way again in a matter of hours. By comparison, the F35 the Air Force wanted to replace the A-10 with are several magnitudes more expensive and to maintain, and they can't even take half of the beating an A-10 can.

[@krkhns]

So, a funny story about the hawg. In the 80s, I was a 45B in the US Army. Basically, an Army gunsmith. When I was stationed in Italy, we would sometimes have to go to Aviano Air Force Base to fix something if they didn't have anyone that could. One time, me and the other small arms repairman got asked to go out because a flight of A-10s was coming in and one had a bad Avenger. The thought process being - you work on the 25mm Bushmaster chain gun, you can work on the 30mm Avenger. They are two totally different beasts using two totally different principles. So, the first thing we do is grab the technical manual. In the US military, if you can read at a 6th grade level, you can fix anything if you have the manual. Go through the procedure of removing the cowlings, getting a hydraulic lift cart for the assembly to rest on, and removing the restraints. No sooner do we remove the last restraint and the whole aircraft goes nose-up until its resting on its now crushed vertical stabilizers. No one informed us there was a totally separate bulletin on preparing the aircraft to have the Avenger removed. The majority of the aircraft's forward weight is in the Avenger. It balances the rearward weight of the engines. We were apparently supposed to put a special support under the tail section to keep it from doing exactly what it did. Oops.

@@scruffyboi5897 I'm not sure if I've been wooshed, but that wouldn't happen because the bullets would have the velocity of the plane added to their velocity. The A-10 has a top speed of about 196m/s, the muzzle velocity of the GAU-8 Avenger is about 1010m/s. So at top speed the bullets will be travelling at 1206m/s relative to the ground, which would give each round about 43% more kinetic energy.

If comparing it to the Russian Frogfoot, which is Mach 1+ capable, that is the Hawg only real vulnerability. This has however, in actual combat, not proven to be the case on a regular basis.

John Dough you want a warthog A-10 to come by and deal with the people who owe you money? I could guarantee you’re a white American considering you can’t take care of your own business yourself. Sounds like you got played for being stupid asf... go deal with your own problems American.

[@unclerudy9797]

My Father In Law worked on these on the line at Fairchild Republic which is just down the road from where I live. He worked on nose cannon install technology. We were invited to and attended Family Day at Fairchild Republic Aviation in Farmingdale, N.Y. when the last A-10 came off the line and flew off. ... Great stuff !

I just love this plane, it’s toughness, weapons and overall it’s just intimidating! When our guys are in a bad situation, this plane shows up like the badass big brother in the sky and the enemy knows it’s in big trouble! There’s been talk for a while about retiring it, that it’s CAS role is done better by other aircraft like the Bone, F-16, F-22 and others. That may be true, I’ve never served and I only know what I’ve watched and read. But there’s no denying that this platform does it’s job in style, takes a beating and keeps on hitting. I hope that they keep it as long as it’s able to keep our guys safe, instead of putting in the heap just because something newer and cooler needs to get some of the glory. This plane has inspired so many, that imagine swooping in and raining hellfire on the bad guys, so our soldiers can do their job. Love this plane.

I was never in the Air Force but we have a base not too far from our house. Every once in a while I would hear the distinctive sound of the engines as it flew nearby and we would all run out to watch it. Behind our house is a rather large swamp and they would practice maneuvers over the swamp land. Like I said, none of the other jets sounded anything like it so it was great to hear them and watch the tight turns they could pull with it. Great video!

[@svanteforsberg5212]

An interesting fact that I just found out about the A-10 is that it only tops out at 704 km/h (at least the Warthog) which isn’t even close to mach 1, and it only has a range of 400 km before it goes out of fuel. If you compare that too at JAS39 Griffin, it’s really bad stats. The Griffin tops out at 2150 km/h which is over mach 2 and has a range of 1500-3000 km. Still tho, you can’t really compare these to planes, since the A-10 is a turret with wings, but it’s still interesting

The turning radius on these is incredible. I’ve owned cars that took wider turns. Wow. I’d be lying if I said that the “BRRRRRRTT” sound didn’t make me giggle every time. The A-10 is the military version of The Hulk. It’s can take a ridiculous beating and deal out so much destruction it’s just crazy. I hope they just keep updating it and making it better and better.

[@wmden1]

I am almost certain I saw one fly directly over my house today, July 12, 2021. I heard it, before I saw it, and hadn't ever heard one, except on these videos. It had the whistle, and a different engine sound than anything I had heard, in person. I found it visually, directly overhead. It was cruising, kind of slow, at, I would guess about 5000 feet. It had the straight out wings, and slender fuselage. I couldn't make out the engines. It kind of made my day.
