🇺🇸🏴‍☠️The A-10 Warthog Is the Iranian Navy’s Worst Nightmare:... The A-10 Thunderbolt II is actively supporting Operation Epic Fury, striking Iranian forces and proxies despite long-standing retirement plans. It excels at hunting and destroying IRGC fast-attack boats and mine-laying vessels by loitering for hours at low altitude and slow speed. Armed with APKWS laser-guided rockets, the A-10 has also become a key defender against Iranian Shahed-136 suicide drones, destroying them at far lower cost than traditional missiles. Although the Air Force still plans to retire the fleet by 2029, its strong performance in the Iran conflict has prompted calls from experts and lawmakers to delay retirement. What are your thoughts on the aircraft? Should its retirement be delayed?show more

‼️🇮🇷Why Iran cannot launch a direct air attack on... Israel ✈️🌍 Iran faces major military and geographic limits that block a direct air strike on Israel. The distance is long and Iranian fighter jets cannot reach Israel without multiple mid air refueling points. Iran also has no safe air corridor. Any aircraft would have to cross hostile airspace controlled by US allies and regional rivals, making detection almost certain. Israel’s air defense network is one of the strongest in the world. Systems like Arrow, David’s Sling, and Iron Dome are supported by US radar and intelligence. Any incoming aircraft would be tracked early and intercepted long before reaching targets. Iran’s air force itself is outdated. Many jets are old and lack stealth, modern avionics, and electronic warfare capability. Against Israel’s advanced fighters and air defenses, losses would be extremely high. This is why Iran relies on missiles, drones, and proxy forces instead of direct air attacks.show more

🇺🇸🇮🇷 A-10 Warthog Gets One Last Mission: Six Iranian... gunboats from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy approached the U.S.-flagged oil tanker M/T Stena Imperative in the Strait of Hormuz. The gunboats hailed the ship via radio, ordering the captain to "stop the engines and prepare to be boarded". The tanker did not comply, instead, it increased speed, maintained its course, and avoided entering Iranian territorial waters. Iran and Yemen both have speedboats that represent a considerable threat, especially in larger numbers. The U.S. is of course prepared....... The A-10 Thunderbolt II, commonly known as the Warthog, has been used in training exercises to counter swarms of small, fast-attack boats similar to those employed by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy. This could be the A-10 Warthog's final battle since The United States Air Force is actively moving to retire its remaining fleet of A-10 Thunderbolt II "Warthog" this year. The Air Force intends to replace the A-10's role with F-35A Lightning IIs, F-15EX Eagle IIs, and potentially unmanned systems.show more
