Given that Iran is a Muslim country where pork is prohibited, it is actually quite ironic that the "Warthog" was shot down by Iran.
ching chong bing bong to you too
>>532321606Is the A-10 still in service? I thought it was outdated?
Nobody cares what a chinese thinks.

>>532321820When I suggested they're sending in retired aircraft on purpose, everyone yelled and recoiled.
>>532321820>I thought it was outdated?It was very effective at taking out terrorists on donkeys. To prevent it from being phased out, the U.S. Army even formed a squadron of pilots dedicated solely to keeping this fleet of A-10s in service.As it turned out, the Iranians didn’t ride donkeys—they rode missiles.The A-10 was shot down.
>>532322281They have a huge payload capacity for their size. That said, I thought the F15s, one of the longest-lived and most highly-updated fighter aircraft ever, was being retired, like five or more years ago.
>>532322281>As it turned out, the Iranians didn’t ride donkeysDoubt
>>532322516He probably meant they didn't only ride donkeys. Obviously, camels are also in play, and apparently at least one missile truck?
>>532321820The air force refuses to just let the A-10 go to the army and absolutely despises the A-10 because it isn't a fancy speeding jet plane.
>>532321820Whenever a US aircraft is shot down in Iran, it means it was outdated, we were going to decommission it anyway, and they did us a favor. MIGA!
>>532321820It's retiring this year :^)...into the ground
>>532322650If you need a huge gun to mow down a crowd of angry unarmed villagers, the A-10 is the best plane on earth. To top it off, it has a significant payload, so it can loop around and bomb the shit out of the survivors on the way home, saving fuel as a bonus.
>>532321606what the fuck is that literal monster?
>>532321606The job they fill is close air support at low altitude. It was bound to happen.
>>532321820Everything they have is outdated, they have no replacement for it but it is outdated.
>>532324082It's an airplane.
>>532324082A plane nigger.
>>532321606ah yes.irony.It is a lost concept on this board. Thank you for posting.
They don't tell you about the feral hogs in America that kill grannies and little kids.
>>532321606Warthogs have different feet to pigs and it's the feet that make the animal unclean.Warthogs don't count as swine.
>>532321820Nothing is outdated when the enemy has no planes or ability to attack aircraft. However, it seems Russia supplied them with new high tech infrared surface to air missiles that don’t use traditional radar. Meaning there is a real threat now
>>532321606about 35 years late with that observation chang
