The only airplane who can remplace an A10 is a new A10. I saw them in Belgium. There is no other plane than an a10.this is really unique and the best ground support you can get.
Machine gun with wings .. it's a miracle that the A 10 can even fly with all that ammo. But it's a nimble aircraft. It loves to bust tanks. Ukraine could sure use a few right about now.
This is being recommended to me 8yrs later lol.. fascinating loading mechanism. Looks like the video was captured at Davis-Monthan AFB in my hometown Tucson
