One of the many infamous Aircraft ever built, designed and manufactured by Fairchild Republic, for the U.S.A.F. the A10 Thunderbolt is a very unique aircraft indeed. Literally built around an Autocannon known as the GAU/8-A, which fires 30mm rounds of Depleted Uranium, Armor Piercing, or High Explosive, at a terrifying fire rate of 2,100 to 4,000 RPM, and heavily armored, plus easy maintenance, it's easy to see why you don't fuck with this thing. Not only that... it's become a meme. A meme you laugh at until it comes for you, GAU/8-A and all...
If you heard the cannon of the A10, you're one of the good guys.
NOOO!!! YOU CAN'T JUST SHOOT AT RANDOM TERRORISTS WITH SUCH AN AWESOME GUN!!! Hahaha A10 go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT
Precision Airstrike ready.
You see here in the U.S. Army, there's a very strong bond. One between pilots of the A10 Thunderbolt II, and one between our guys on the ground. And until the day there's no more enemies, it'll remain unbroken.
