Precise killing = if you hear the A10 you were not it's target
I was a A-10 crew chief at Shaw AFB during Desert Storm. It was amazing how much damage the A-10 could take and just keep on flying. I absolutely feel in love with this aircraft
You feel in love😂
Hell yeah. It did its job perfectly and got the pilots back on the flight line
As a ground pounder we all fall in love with that beauty. As for Shaw AFB, I wish they still had these when I was stationed there.
I was an LAV AT commander who called in air on Iraqi targets. You should SEE what these beasts do! We did the BDA's ( Battle Damage Assessments) and it was not pleasant. It made me thankful I am an American cuz damn the damage from ONE A10 removed several BMP's and BTRs from existence.
Respect to you Chief. I did structural maintenance on A-10's at McChord AFB back in 92. Love the updates to 'C' version I've heard about.
A-10 is the ground soldier's best companion!
As a Vet, I'm very grateful for all the positive videos you share and critique. It's encouraging to see how strong our relationship is with our UK brothers and sisters. Thank you!
American ground troops love the A-10…and have for decades.
What isn't to love about the A-10, its a plane built around a rotary machine gun that fires ammo larger than BEER BOTTLE!
And thats before you get into its incredibly high durability, ordinance loadout possiblities, and that legendary reputation for air to ground support & attack capacity!
Look at those sweet A10 pilots providing ventilation for the Armored Vehicles. You know it gets hot out in the desert.❤
I was a squid so my info is at best second hand. I was always told that the high brass have never like the warthog because they never particularly liked the ground support mission. The glamour is with the fighters and bombers. They were basically forced to adopt the A-10. They've been trying to kill it ever since. The latest effort was to try and replace it was by using a fighter in a secondary role. I think it was the F-35. My jarhead friends all insist that nothing does the job like the warthog, though. He said he would rather trust his men's lives to a warthog that had been shot up and spent too long on station than to an entire squadron of anything else.
Truth.
Thank you for posting this story! My Dad worked on the original flight manual for the A-10 at Fairchild Republic on Long Island, NY. Previously, he served 21 years in the US Navy and US Coast Guard. That was his baby, well, that and his six children... He never saw her in real combat action, he passed 5 years before Desert Storm.
Yes, the Pentagon kids wanted new toys to replace the A-10, meaning it would have to be retired.
The American people and congress would have none of it.
Used for what it was designed, close, in your face, support for ground troops, it is the best.
Because it isn;t a "multi role" platform, i,e, launching long range missiles, spying at 90,000 feet, etc.,etc. the brass frowned upon it.
However, based on the backlash re retirement, it is being made even more lethal. The grunts on the ground who have had their asses saved by it, applaud the move.
Haaa A I. Called it a WarThog. Cracks me up.
I keep translating it to War Thug, for extra laughs😊
That first clip is amazing when the hellfire actually operates correctly and does what it’s suppose to do, very devastating
I know a person who was in JSOC. He loved the A-10. He'd call them in on the bad guys and they would have a REALLY bad day.
Mess around and find out.
🇺🇸🦅
As multi-purpose as the F-35 is, sometimes you want to keep something like the A-10 around, something that can get down and dirty, be easily maintained, etc.
The problem with the A-10 is that all of the airframe are past their lifetime hours rating. Remember that the newest airframe came off the assembly line 40 years ago. We have done things to prolong their life, but without new airframe their continued uses is on borrowed time. I would love to new airframe start rolling off the assembly line, but I don't see that happening.
Reading this as well, That said. The B-52 is 72 Years old this year 1952-2024. Bro, an Heard the Air Force state , Get 100 years out of her. any Thoughts or Comments.. Bro?
@briangoldy8784 Yes, the B-52's are older, but they were built to fly a lot more hours and do not have the stress put on their airframes that fighters or even the A-10 do. This is because they get up to altitude and cruise around. Nobody is yanking the yoke around to pull G's. It is just the difference in the way they are flown that explains why they can last so much longer.
I was at FOB Airborne, Wardak Province, Afghanistan in 2008/09. During the 2008 summer fighting season we were being regularly bombarded with 107mm rockets being fired at us from a mountainside across the valley (a straight line distance of about two kilometers). They were pounding the crap out of us. We called for air support and first a 2-plane flight of Belgian F-16s attacked the hillside with the bad guys to no effect. Next, a 2-plane flight of Eurofighters (Typhoons?) attacked, also to no effect. Then, a (one) A-10 attacked the mountainside with a 2000 pound bomb and scored a direct hit on the rocket site. No casualties for us that day. The bad guys were fricassee.
The A-10! The last thing any enemy combatant wants to see or hear as it will BE THE LAST thing they hear or see
Probably one of the best mission specific airframes ever built. They require full control of the airspace to be effective though.
The pilots call themselves air grunts. They are so important to the ground troops and they seem to really respect the guys on the ground. You have to have the guys in the air and the guys on the ground working together to make everything successful the one unit
You can be having a real bad day. However, when you hear the A10 diving in all you can so is smile
Thing is if you hear it you're already dead you just don't know it yet. IF you're on the wrong end.
A-10: Yeah, our gun is till good.
Higher Ups: So, what type of armor is it effective agianst?
A-10: Yes.
From a Retired US Marine to My Royal Marine Brother Semper Fi, Love the videos keep them coming.
Back in the 70s and earlier, everything was built to last. The A10 is a prime example of something built to last and perform it's A game no matter what was thrown at it.
Welcome back! We really missed you!
Thank you!!
Love the wart hog. Awesome plane.
I was the US Army 1986 thru 1990. They talked about getting rid of it then. The Army said they take it. Just some in the Airforce that never like it.
And the AF was not about to let ANY of their planes go to the Army or Marines because then those services could support themselves without the AF.
I saw a news article a year ago when the air force said they would upgrade the A10 and not retire the plane. They call it wing replacement or wing upgrade. The upgrade to the newer style of rail and more of them. The computer and communications upgrade as well. The communication upgrades will allow it to seemingly link all the military assets. One of the military contractors explained what that meant was that after the A10 shot everything it could call for and then controlled other weapons on other planes close by. A hand over takes place and the links planes guide the weapons to targets. The other planes sees what the A10 sees. The A10 can also have an overwatch UAV assigned to it. The new UAV with A.I. can dogfight not just fling in a loop or just be refueling station for the A10.
The Air force has been trying to get rid of the A10 since the end of the Cold war. I was in from 80-88 and was exposed to it several times. During a live fire at Ft.Irwin,CA where it basically disintegrated the top of a mountain with the GAU8 and a couple of missiles. While stationed in Germany I watched its maneuverability as it banked and snaked its way through mountain valleys. Made this border rat secure in knowing that it would hopefully avenge our certain quick deaths had the Soviets ever decided to launch on our forward border camp.
Air Force brass dosen't like the A10 because it's not a "sexy fast mover".
But as an Army Ranger/infantryman, we appreciate it and love it! ❤
Everytime the Air Force decides to retire the A10, Congress saves it!!
The weapons points make it every opponent’s nightmare!
Welcome Back from Holiday!!
The A-10 is still a BEAST, and with the upgrades it's going to be a flying nightmare for the enemies we encounter for years to come.
You hear the burp you see the smoke then it screams away. Glad they had my back.
I loved A-10 my dad was stationed in Alaska when I was a kid during cold War and they were lined up as far as you could see. He did electronics on the A-10!
That's a "Blacksnake" livery paint job that they did for some commemorative reason. Absolutely gorgeous! Looks like that's how it was always meant to be IMO. Mean and nasty with a touch of classy!
This plane is unstoppable
They won’t retire the warthog because it’s been proven to be exceptionally tough and effing reliable
The United States Air Force wants to get rid of the A10, but Congress and the Army so not want to get rid of it. The Army has even said they will take the planes if the Air Force retires them
Marine Corps has said they'll fight the Army for them, too. 😅
A-10 !!!! Is a wonderful plane.RESPECT. It's a KILLER.
Instead of mashed potatoes, maybe cranberry sauce?- Tyler
The A-10 is an awesome plane. And much love to our British allies and “cousins”.
Watched them all day every day for 20 years... Lived 8 miles from Grissom AFB....
That shot of the trucks getting hit is absolutely bananas
I was lucky enough to see this beauty fly.
"Fantastic piece o kit!"
The gun on the a10 has so much recoil that it actually slows the plane down when it fires.
That is why they can only fire short bursts . The recoil could actually stop it . Also , the AF wanted to retire it so the Marines said they would be happy to take it . Air Force didn't want to let that happen. So it was decided to give it upgrades .
I really am happy to see your energy on this video. Vacation time suits you.
Just wanted to say hi and hope you all the best! I dont know anything about our boys in the sky other than we depended on the for 2 air strikes when i was deployed in iraq 07-09. Never got to see the A-10 in action but have heard all the results i need to to hear to know this this is an absolutely UNIT. this aircraft can loterally withstand AA counter attack. Im so thankful for all our flyboys and marine and army pilots. 1 team 1 fight
Beautiful airplane 👍
It really is!
@@RyanForrest1664 thanks for the videos. Love your channel👍 great to see you growing.
One Ass Kicking Plane.
I dont know how true this is but my buddy thats in the military once said that the 30mm gun on that aircraft is so powerful that while its firing it slows the plane down!
I remember reading that a survey of Iraqi soldiers after Desert Storm named the A-10 as the most feared piece of US military equipment. One participant was quoted as saying, "It would come up, kill a few tanks, get hit a couple of times and keep killing until it ran out of ammo." While stationed in German, I once saw one flying low over the Autobahn. It was so maneuverable that it actually followed an off ramp at tree top level. I hope they stay in service.
The A-10 saved our asses a couple of times my last tour down range. We called them angels on our shoulders. The Taliban were scared to death of them.
Ryan, you were attempting to date the A-10 to Afghanistan. You're young! I remember flying out of Philadelphia in the mid 70s and counted more than a dozen on loading docks for shipping? I can't imagine where they were going since Vietnam had just ended. Some friends in the aerospace business came to work for the major subcontractor I worked for years later. Fairchild closed its plant in Hagerstown, MD following completion of the A-10.
It's a magnificent achievement in aviation history.
The infantryman’s best friend.
Ryan, I've been in joint operations with this equipment. If you hear it shoot that means you are still alive. If you get shot by it you would be dead before you hear the sound and you will be swiss cheese full of holes.
My brother hated flying them because he was a speed freak, but admitted they were scary as hell.
The “vinyl” on the front is the symbol of “The Blacksnakes” of the 122nd Fighter Squadran of the Indiana Air National Guard based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA. It represents the head of the snake.
This thing has always been a beast
Gotta love the flying tank!
Back in 1975-1976 They were in England U.S.A.F Woodbridge/ Bentwaters. They are awesome planes you hardly ever hear of one going down. The cockpit is made of titanium to protect the pilots, the plane it-self can get shot up to hell if you have one engine you can still fly home. Long live the A10 !!!!!!
That first seen would be called a Rapid Scheduled Disassembly.
Most of that video talks about the gun that aside from various mods that were tested and removed hasn't really changed since the first hawg rolled out.
The A-X prototypes first flew with 20mm systems.
The newer upgraded C models have dual digital multifunctional displays for use with Nav systems, stores, targeting and so on.
The ARG-20 APKWS is basically a 70mm hydra rocket with a laser guidance system, a hawg can carry 3 x 7 round pods giving it 21 of these per compatible hardpoint, some hardpoints can only accept one pod if I remember right.
Don't forget mavericks, lgbs and jdams. The thing is just a low flying F YOU!
Who doesn’t love a hog?! 💙
retired soldier here only 1 tour in iraq very much enjoy your vids
I’m pretty sure the A-10 could equip additional gun pods on the first batch of A-10’s when it was made, and I think it produced 9,800 rounds per minute with the AGP‘s.
This is my favorite plane in our arsenal! Fell in love with this plane when I was a kid and the Cobra Rattler toy came out. Blew my mind when I saw the real thing at an air show.
I appreciate the humor bro
Way that dude says war thog in the video is hilarious
Yes in deed,these aircraft are awsome, the time on target is extended as well..
I was at an air show with some friends several years ago and one of these bad SOBs was sitting out where all of us could walk around it and see it up close. One of the guys with us was a US Army tank veteran who said, "as an old tanker, this thing scares the hell out of me..."
Welcome back Ryan, I missed you...
If you heard the Brrrtttt, you weren't the target.
I need one for personal use 😂 Glad your back Ryan keep em coming.
Cheers mate 🍻
🤙
Cav scouts love the warthog!
Gotta check out THE FAT ELECTRICIAN!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Sounds like in the video insert the man said at about 1:53 “War-thog”, it’s Wart-hog.
Never noticed till just recently, the 30mm isn't centered, fires from the pilot's 3 O'clock, keeps the casings so weight doesn't shift as much, and the front landing gear is not in the center like other aircraft.
I don't care what country you're from, if you cant appreciate the A-10 for what it is then we just cant be friends. It has its flaws and weaknesses for sure but what a terrifying fucking monster!
As a xivilian Im somglad our troops have this warbird to call on for their protection when it gets rough. The troopers love this thung to come when they are in deep doodoo. No need to replace them with something else that costs 5 times more.
It's my understanding that the gun, while a monster, is limited to 3 second bursts, otherwise the gun would overheat. I used to watch them train and they never passed 3 seconds on that gun.
Glad you're back sir. Hope you had a great vacation. Warthog, gives me a hard on when they fly over. Someone going to get chewed to shreds. Don't understand the " head thinkers" in our government. A-10. B-1 and so forth. They don't think of the ground troops or what is really needed and works. And all exotic things that are a pipe dreams they pour money into. Any brother, if you make it back to the states around Ohio give me an email. 1st WK of drinks on me. God bless you and your family. Keep the vids rolling
That’s not a gun coming out of the snakes, mouth, man! That’s a cigar on fire and smoking
When I was about 14 I went to the air show in Oklahoma City, so I stuck the end of an umbrella into the A-10's rotary gun on the front. Yeah so before I knew it I had military police on my ass asking me if I had 250,000 Dollars to fix that gun. I said no, apologized
and scurried away😂😂!!
I hope the US Air Force is taking into account into the current Ukraine and Russia war as far as current combat conditions to figure out doctrine on how to keep it relevant as a fighting and weapons platform.
Hey Ryan…where abouts did you vacation in the U.S.? If you are in California, SoCal specific, I would have loved to take you and the family out lunch or dinner.
Hey man, not the states unfortunately bro, Mauritius to be precise. I’m due to visit the states this year though. It will most certainly be California too!
The US Army and the US Marines have both told the US Air Force they want the A-10s if the USAF abandons them.
I could go on and on about this tank killer. As a Scout from 1979-1999 we use to call in TAC air as one of our many jobs. We had a saying " if you can hear it, you get to live". I've done many live fire exercises with it (million dollar minutes) in Grafenwoehr Germany and Fort Irwin California. I was a bridesmaid but never a bride (not a combat Vet) and wished I could have seen it in action. Do you know anything about the Scout Sniper course that was taught by the SAS (i think) in Germany in the 1990's? I was a training aid (target) for one training cycle. Wished I would have known about it earlier in my career.
Retired Air Force here. Imagine if a group of 6 of these attacked a position. They wouldn't stand a chance. I remember when these came out and nobody thought they were any good until the A-10 had a chance to prove what it could do. It will never be a sexy fighter jet, but it has more than earned its place in the sky.
Love the channel, bro. 🇺🇸
Did he just call it a war-thog? Its wart-hog 😂
Brrrrrttttt!
3:35 lmao
If you heard the A-10 fire, you weren't the target.
I saw in another video the A-10 program has been extended until 2035. Not bad for a plane that is almost as old as me.
50 year service for a plane design is unheard of and only now with the sheer amount of Manpads and autonomous munitions in battle the A10 may be relegated to a morale roll like the Dreadnaught battle ships of old.
Missed you man
Growing up near Dover Air Force base in the 80's these things always flew over my house. It was very frequently. We would be out playing in a field when we saw them coming in so low. We would wave at the pilots and they almost always gave us wing bows to say hi. Since I kid I have thought these planes were so bad ass and I sure miss them flying over the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
The new voice of god!!!❤❤❤❤ it.
You don’t want to be on the other side of that gun. Guaranteed!!!
