@piloteoliver: When you hear brrrrrrr..., just know he's not aiming at you. The A-10 Thunderbolt II, often called the “Warthog,” is a U.S. Air Force ground-attack aircraft designed specifically for close air support (CAS). Its primary job is to protect troops on the ground by attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and enemy positions at low altitude. The A-10 is built around survivability: it has a titanium “bathtub” that protects the pilot, redundant flight systems, and engines mounted high to reduce damage from ground fire. At the heart of the A-10 is its gun, the GAU-8/A Avenger, one of the most powerful aircraft cannons ever built. It is a 30 mm seven-barrel Gatling gun that fires armor-piercing and high-explosive rounds at about 3,900 rounds per minute. The gun is so large that the aircraft was essentially designed around it, with the nose landing gear offset to make room. Its armor-piercing rounds can penetrate heavily armored targets like tanks. The gun’s effects are devastating both physically and psychologically. The distinctive “BRRRT” sound comes from the high firing rate and supersonic rounds reaching the target almost immediately. In combat, the A-10’s gun is extremely accurate, allowing pilots to engage targets close to friendly forces. Combined with the aircraft’s ability to loiter over the battlefield, fly slow, and absorb damage, the A-10 and its gun have made it one of the most respected and feared close-support platforms in modern warfare.
