@sea.world805: An A-10 Warthog Safely Returns After SA-16 Missile Strike. A View highlights the tail section of an A-10 Warthog assigned to the 23rd Tactical Fighter Wing. The aircraft suffered visible damage after an SA-16 surface-to-air missile detonated nearby during Operation Desert Storm. Despite the blast, the rugged attack jet was able to remain airborne and complete its return safely. The damage underscores both the intensity of the threat environment and the A-10’s well-known ability to withstand significant combat damage while protecting its pilot and mission capability.#fypchallenge #MilitaryPower #USMilitary #FutureNavy #CastleBravo
