The A-10 Warthog, also known as the Thunderbolt II, is a single-seat, twin-engine ground-attack aircraft widely used by the United States Air Force. It was designed in the 1970s specifically for close air support, air interdiction, and friendly fire support missions. The aircraft is heavily armored with titanium to withstand small arms fire and is equipped with a powerful 30mm GAU-8/A Gatling cannon, making it a popular aircraft for military missions around the world. Despite the development of new fighter planes, the A-10 Warthog remains a vital component of the USAF’s arsenal.
