Mais informações:

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft designed for close air support (CAS) of ground forces. It is also known by its nickname “Warthog” or simply “Hog”. The A-10 was developed in the 1970s as a counter to the Soviet Union’s large numbers of tanks and armored vehicles. The A-10’s primary weapon is the GAU-8/A Avenger, a 30 mm rotary cannon that can fire up to 4,200 rounds per minute. The A-10 can also carry a variety of bombs, missiles, rockets, and pods for additional firepower and reconnaissance.
The A-10 has a low-speed, high-subsonic design that allows it to fly low and slow over the battlefield, making it more survivable and effective than faster jets. The A-10’s distinctive feature is its armored cockpit and titanium “bathtub” that protects the pilot from enemy fire. The A-10 has a long service history and has been used in several conflicts, including the Gulf War, the Iraq War, the War in Afghanistan, and the Syrian Civil War. The A-10 is highly regarded by its pilots and ground troops for its accuracy, reliability, and durability. The A-10 is expected to remain in service until at least 2030, with possible upgrades and modifications to extend its lifespan.
