If you want to fight Iran, move to Israel and join the IDF, do not bother America.
I suppose the ships are full of military equipment. Let's hope that they are not allowed to go to The Black Sea.I would thought they already had retired the A-10 warthog airplane. It flies low and slow....and today we have helicopters and other jets that can do the same things as that aircraft.
The A-10 has no countermeasures against SAM or A2A or manpads. Nada....zilch.
But it does have lots of guns. From howitzers to machine guns....it does fire a LOT of munitions that can be reloaded from its own cargo hold.
here we go :The A-10 carries more munitions than any other close support aircraft. 1700 rounds of 30mm alone is a LOT and since it has a range of 800+miles it really goes 1200....and can hang around for a long time.
It also carries anti-tank munitions and other munitions under its wings.
The airframe is old and expensive. They have been discussing a cheaper alternative but up till now none has really come up to par with it. A-35s are the closest but they don't carry enough guns.
The A-10 can't see through weather but it can see at night. Perfect for desert fighting. Not so good for places like Ukraine or Russia.
