Air Force Massively Upgrades Classic A-10 Warthog With Weapons, Cyber & EW
The focus is on ensuring that the A-10C can operate effectively in the increasingly sophisticated electronic and cyber warfare environments
The A-10C Thunderbolt II, a mainstay of the United States Air Force’s close air support fleet, is undergoing significant upgrades to ensure its effectiveness in future conflicts. This venerable aircraft, known affectionately as the “Warthog,” has been a critical asset for ground support missions due to its durability, firepower, and precision.
The A-10C is receiving a suite of enhancements aimed at modernizing its capabilities. These upgrades include improved avionics, weapons systems, and survivability features. The focus is on ensuring that the A-10C can operate effectively in the increasingly sophisticated electronic and cyber warfare environments expected in future battles.
A key component of the A-10C’s upgrade is the integration of new weapons systems. This includes the addition of advanced precision-guided munitions and updated targeting pods, which will enhance the aircraft’s ability to engage moving targets with greater accuracy. The upgrades will also allow the A-10C to better support ground forces in complex, contested environments.
I think our drones with hellfire missiles will take care of that problem. Or my favorite would be a warthog

Now that's what I'm talking about!!
Maybe there is a backdoor kill switch in the electronics our MIL can access????
Might have to call chy-na and see since the likely made the chips😀😀.
Sorry for the duplicate post. Didn’t see yours
Great minds……think about stuff…… or something like that…..👍
It definitely improves emphasis
I wonder if we have a “back door” into the control system? It seems like a good idea so they can’t be used against us.
Can’t touch this. Death from above.
so the Dems started a war in ukraine so they could get weapons to their drug buddies.
