The post linked below includes much information about these amazing weapons, and a 4 min 51 sec bit of video warplane-porn as well. Big fun if you're in the mood. Horrifying if you aren't.

Yes, the A10s HAVE BEEN deployed in Iran.
They were integrated into the first 48 hours of strikes, conducting close air support, armed overwatch, and precision attacks on dispersed and mobile targets.
That's the "fighter jocks" who want the A-10 gone...so they can have more expensive "toys"... When those A-10s went out you could always tell when they came back that they earned their stripes for the day!!!!!!
Also, the Marines/Army Guys loved the CAS functionality due to clearing the area of the "bad hombres"!!!!!! Saved a lot of lives!!!!
NOTE: RETIRED Air Force
It's a damn shame. I also don't like the F35, like at all. Fragile, expensive. Also vectored thrust is unnatural.
AS an engineer and looking at VECTOR THRUST...that damn thang is ALL COMPUTER CONTROLLED!!!!
Question is: What's the backup plan when the main computer gets shot out and there is NO MORE COMPUTER TO "HELP" with keeping the aircraft in the air....EHHHHH?
I JUST LOVE TOUGHIES THAT STRETCH THE BRAIN CELL BEYOND BELIEF!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Exactly. Take the advice from the CO of a flight school...
"When in doubt, punch out." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK of the THOUGHT PATTERN!!!!!
