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.
