Of all the animals, I would rate Warthogs as one of the most flightless. Odd choice.
Warthog is a nickname that they couldn’t get rid of. It’s officially the Thunderbolt II.
I think its kind of dumb because the P-47 Thunderbolt was a high altitude interceptor/fighter that also happened to be good at ground pounding.
The A-10 is exclusively a ground pounder that becomes a sitting duck if it ever gets caught with its pants down.
Dunno why they copted a fighter name.
A-10 is live target practice for Iran’s domestically produced manpads. It should not be anywhere near this conflict. That they are using it at all shows massive incompetence.
Great name for the Halo jeep thing. Horrible name for a jet.
Looks more like a puma to me
It does look like that, yes.
it’s a good Friday
Don’t think that plane is going to rise again in three days.
I’m not an expert, but I’ve read that A-10s don’t have very good missile defenses, and they will be pretty vulnerable in Iran, which is stuffed full of missiles
The planes are like 40 years old
If that kills that goddamn brain dead “brrt” meme, I will officially proclaim this to be a positive effect of this war
Didn’t the military request more recently?
Who names an airplane “warthog”? pigs can’t fly and neither can the pig-pilots inside them.

Tbh I’m more offended that the US names its helicopters after indigenous people groups it’s genocided
that’s impressive. those things are armored like tanks that fly.
Tanks that don’t fly aren’t doing that hot these days either. Slapping a red bull on it didn’t help
