Warthog power

Built around the 30 mm Gatling gun, the Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is one of the most amazing aircraft in the world, and also one of my favorites. A rugged airplane, the Warthog or simply Hog is a true tank in the skies with one mission: to bring hell to the enemy. It can launch missiles and bombs and stuff like that but the main armament is the Gatling gun capable of firing almost 4000 uranium depleted shells… hell yeah, that gun will deliver a massive punch.

The Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single seat close support aircraft designed for the USAF, better known by its nickname: Warthog… or simply Hog. This is one really amazing airplane, a tank in the skies. Built around a 30 mm Gatling gun capable of firing 3900 depleted uranium armor-piercing shells in one minute, the Hog will actually stall if the pilot uses long bursts of fire. Check out this cool vid showing these airborne tanks fly in formation.
