Junk it
>>532314379>Ireland
>>532314379You can literally vaporize a A-10 with Buk-m3. It has a rcs larger than a cow barn.
>>532314379The same reason americans like monster trucks, big guns and pretend wrestling dramas, they're shit for brains retards. Take a look at their leader
>>532314379What's wrong with it?>>532314804Not guaranteed, but certainly it's likely to cause very severe damage to it.Not that the Buk launcher is likely to survive a salvo of 30mm DU rounds or a Hellfire missile either.
>>532314379DAKKA!
The replacement is literally an Air Tractor armored out with a gun.
I mean it's not complicated: while using these other planes are supposed to fly SEAD missions, so the A-10 has to worry only about manpads and AA artillery, which it can tolerate.Blindly flying it into an air defense network is like keeping your submarine on the surface, and an A-10 still has some advantages over a large drone, if you can afford to lose some pilots.
For me, it's A-10 Tank Killer 2 : Silent Thunder
>>532314379>hahaha machinegun go brrrrrrrrrrrrr
>>532315198Buk missile is not a joke. It literally a vaporize a commercial airliner in ukraine
>>532314379It's one of those planes that seem retarded and we've been trying to get rid of it for decades. But it just keeps being useful, especially against sand niggers.
It is a gun with airplane. Not an airplane with a gun. Also, they supposedly have a titanium bathtub under the pilot to protect them.Also, Trump is an asshole for getting us into a losing war. According to "Rules for Radicals" power is not only the power you really have, but also the power others assume you have. This war exposed the readiness to abandon allies, the lack-of-strategic thinking on the strait, the vulnerabilities of aircraft, and worst of all Trump's mouth at its worst.It's fucked up when China is making AI videos that fully understand the nature of jewish influence.
>>532315774Yeah, but those are huge, fly at high altitude, and don't use flares or chaff, so the missile is guaranteed to detonate very close by.And while commercial airliners are designed with redundancy they are not protected from projectile impacts or designed to withstand those, besides birds, that is.>in fact a single chicken can bring down a passenger airliner with no survivorsThe A-10 on the other hand is built to survive even moderate damage, like being riddled with bullets or hit by a small missile warhead, and flies at low altitudes.But naturally it wouldn't survive attack by a large AA missile system, not least because they tend to fire two missiles at any given target, when that is feasible, and while it may luck out and sustain only limited damage from one missile if it detonates some distance away, it's almost certain to be destroyed by 2.
>>532314379For the same reason people get emotional when space probes are terminated at the end of their fuel supplies.
>>532315198Its viable mission profile in a modern battlefield is very narrow. Slow flying CAS can't survive against current air defenses from a near peer enemy. Helicopters can at least hug the ground.It is really only good for supporting infantry in low intensity conflicts now.
>>532314379You've never had to deal with one of them. There's a lot of unique characteristics that make it the ideal close air support for many mission types. Mostly that its inexpensive to operate compared to other platforms. You can lose half your airframe and still get back to base, one engine is enough to stay aloft, the gunner-pilot is frozen in a carbonite bathtub, the aiming system puts depleted uranium on target with 360-no-scope accuracy (at a fraction the cost of a missile,) and it can loiter all afternoon on a single tank of gas.No it can't deal on its own. No it can't engage AA weapons. Its an infantry support weapon. We have other platforms for air-based campaigns.
>>532315684BASED! I played this game a lot when i was little
>>532314379Reasons
>>532314379It's super fucking cool, but only when nobody can shoot back.People forget that this thing and the SU-25 have the exact same mission profile. And the SU-25 has been pulled from front line service in the Ukraine War because it is just not survivable anymore. Not when everyone has MANPADS.I don't think people realize that the A-10 is so fucking old it predates the Stinger missile. It was designed during a time when MANPADS were fairly primitive.
Because it's an even more relevant aircraft now against drones
>>532314499He's drunk already. What a worthless people.
>>532314804Lol, you can't vaporize anything little chink.
>>532315684Unfathomably based. Zoomers will never know kino like the windows 95 era PC games
>>532319609Iran is not a peer, they are retarded niggers, hence them dying 1,000 to 1.
>>532322835based
>>532314379holy cope lmaoamerimutt on vacation or something? vpn? lmaaaaooooooooo
cause cas is for casuals, you get to fly around and blow up shit but you get to see the shit you're shooting at
>>532314379It’s pretty cool looking and was advance for its time, but it’s time to retire it. It’s literally a giant flying 30mm machine gun.
>>532322841Iran is being backed by both Russia and Chinese equipment. We’re technically fighting a peer army, plus Burgerland is a turd world nation.
>>532322841then why do they have hypersonic glide vehicles that we cannot develop and the pool is still closed?
>>532314379Nostalgia for a better time. Many such cases.
If we actually waged real war with massive combined arms operations then it would still help but the world is fake and gay now
>>532322841iran cousin marriage rate is lower than jews which is around 70%jews are also lower iqlmao
>>532315198exclusive ground attack aircraftcan only be operated in a total air domination environment with total air defense suppression much like a Specter gunshipunder the right conditionsit has the destructive power of zues dropping lightning bolts from olympus
>>532314379Because this sound is pure sovl... Who the fuck wants to hear the vwwwwwweeeevvvv of a gay drone coming to same them? Absolute cuck energy https://youtu.be/NvIJvPj_pjE?si=P5hdCBPy6Z_7548m
For me it's the MI-24, the most aestheic military aircraft ever built. One time I was on a mission, executed my objective successfully, and took out three targets of opportunity on the way back. When I landed I said to my commander 'Wow, three for free' and she laughed and said 'I'm going to call you three for free from now on!' since then I also get assigned 3 other objectives within flying distance of my main waypoints. What a great helicopter.
>>532315198>What's wrong with it?It gets shot down, its a liability
>>532314379It’s neato. There’s nothing else like it, and when deployed properly, there’s nothing better at the job it does.
>>532316730I love that they portrayed the Jews as a demonic squid. lol.
>>532314804....maybe in war thunder, tranny.
>>532314379>because le brrrrt sounds it killed babies in iraq hahahah le cool we stronkmeanwhile when go in semi actual war>noooooo it's ww2 tech it means nothing
you faggits don't even know
>>532314379>>532315684I only played the original, on Win 3.1.Worth emulating Silent Thunder?
>>532314379Because they are gay retards who worship Baal and the cockpit tub reminds them of a Tophet,
>>532314379>1pbtid>mick (basically a pale nigger)
>>532322841Based Pakistan.
>>532314379Nazi ace pilot Hans Rudel helped to design the A10
>>532314379>>532315684For me it was A10 Attack on the Mac in 94-95. Mind blowing flight physics! AIM and Hellfire missiles.
>>532314379Conservatives are basically peasants, white third worlders
>>532314379Because its a plane built around a gun, it served its purpose at the time - definitely antiquated now tho.
Check out the polygons on this bad boy. I’ve flown with a former a10 squadron commander in a little rv8. Wild ride.
>>532314379Because it's cute.
>>532314379Is that a spaghetti nigger or potato nigger flag? I get them confused?
>>532322841I approve of first cousin marriages, I approve of Pakistan. It's relatively small and BTFO of most other countries in population.
>>532328508Mach 1 baby!
>>532329827excuse me?the lady does mach 3
