warthogs are tough

[eagle1462010]

drones are like flies, many and small and pesty, A10 is like a bald eagle

They cut through Russian tanks like swiss cheese Iraq

Like in taken, that is their skill set from the start and strafing

But three can and have no pilots at risk.

3 drones can carry 5K worth? I highly doubt that, no the iranian ones can carry 330 pounds or they can't fly

like I said, this is equal to humming birds vs a bald eagle in scope

you also factor in range, drones can't have a big fuel tank and bombs, they would not lift off the ground

An A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) successfully returned to base after sustaining more than 150 battle damage holes from intense enemy ground fire during a combat mission. Despite the severity of the damage, the aircraft remained flyable, and the pilot landed safely without injury.

I hear the A10 is slowly being phased out, not being replaced as they lose older ones. But when I see an A-10, I think of it as a flying gattling gun on steroids.

Its 30mm gattling gun is like half the weight of the plane and has to be mounted off center otherwise firing it would throw the plane off target.

Start counting how many planes we took out... Iran is defeated.... don't confuse blind stubbornness with winning...
I've seen these warthogs at air shows and they are impressive...

Being defeated doesn`t mean a plane can`t be hijacked and flown into a skyscraper....again.

Are you threatening us or advising???

Sec of the AF extended them to 2030 today.

Actually, the gun fires at the 7 o'clock position, so the bullets are aligned with the centerline of the aircraft, even though the gun is to the right of centerline when viewed from the front.

Please leave my country.....

Please leave my country.....

Wow, while I find the hijacking distasteful, I find your narrow thinking even more dangerous.

The narrow thinking is from those who can't think enough to realize they live in the greatest country on earth... so if you hate it here f-ing leave....

China done shipped drones and RPGs to Iran.
Something to keep in mind.
Might have to be some clearing before the Brrt machines can sortie again.

I spent over 20 years giving you the right to say stupid things. Sometimes, your stupidity makes me wonder if I did the right thing.

Glad that sentiment scares you leftists.

Yeah and how did you do that from a protest line??? F you I left part of my foot in Afghanistan.... what did you lose?...

Sadly, you sacrificed part of your foot to the military industrial complex for nothing, but it does provide you a monthly paycheck for the rest of your life.

Oddly you are in favor of others making the same sacrifice. I would have thought you learned something.

You don't scare me, MAGAt. I'm an old combat vet and gave up fear decades ago. Funny, the thought of saying your crap in person to my face and acting on it should scare the living hell out of you.

Just one? The last time I went toe to toe with the likes of you in person his clerking and filing didn't mean a damned thing.

Let's see, I lost much of my hearing and since it was a different kind of war, I have a severe case of PTSD. Not to mention, as I aged my misuse of my body is showing. One thing I haven't lost is my will to fight for my Country. From what I can see, you just play at it.

I once was a Professional Musician. I would have fared better if I had lost part of a foot.

Sounds like Agent Orange got you.
