A-10 Thunderbolt

Back


The A-10 is literally built around its 30-mm GE GAU-8 Avenger seven barrel cannon, the most powerful gun ever fitted to an aircraft of this class. It was designed for high-survivability with a titanium cover surrounding both the cockpit, ammunition and fuel tank. Placement of the engines decreases the infrared signature lowering it's vulnerablity to heatseeking missiles and ground fire. Music: Quarashi - Copycat

I hate how documentaries always seem to have English narrators, especially on ones like this that are strictly all American in subject matter. I don't dislike the english but it bugs me.

Fly this freaky plane and be prepared to exercise, how the Gun brakes the plane.

It is like a shot in the back.

I love it, thank you Sean.
