🇺🇸 The Air Force is done testing new ammo for the A-10 Thunderbolt II. The results were straight-up devastating. The GAU-8 cannon, Mavericks, and precision bombs shredded fortified and underground targets. Backed by AC-130 gunships and heavy airlift, this is what modern close air support actually looks like when... show more

The U.S. Air Force is extending the service life of the legendary A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) until 2030. Secretary of the Air Force Troy E. Meink announced the decision today in coordination with Defense leadership. This keeps key squadrons flying — including active duty at Moody AFB and reserve at Whiteman AFB — preserving proven close air support capability while the defense industry ramps up production of newer aircraft. The A-10’s rugged design, heavy armor, and devastating GAU-8 30mm cannon continue to earn respect from ground forces who rely on it when things get ugly. Nothing else quite does the job like the Warthog. 🇺🇸

🧐🇺🇸 The A-10 Warthog: The Close Air Support Legend No Aircraft Has Truly Replaced Nicknamed the "Tank Killer," the A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) was built for one purpose: protect friendly troops and destroy enemy armor. Its fearsome 30mm GAU-8/A Avenger cannon fires up to 3,900 rounds per minute, capable of tearing through tanks, armored vehicles, and fortified positions with devastating precision. What made the A-10 legendary wasn't just its firepower, it was its ability to fly low, remain over the battlefield for extended periods, absorb significant battle damage, and continue fighting. Titanium armor protects the pilot, redundant flight systems increase survivability, and the aircraft can even return to base after sustaining severe damage. For decades, no aircraft has fully matched the A-10's unique combination of long loiter time, heavy cannon fire, battlefield survivability, and dedicated close air support. While modern fighters such as the F-35 can perform CAS missions, they were designed as multirole aircraft rather than purpose built CAS platforms. The U.S. Air Force is gradually retiring the A-10 as its aging airframes become more expensive to maintain and military planners prepare for future conflicts involving advanced air defenses, stealth aircraft, and long range precision weapons. After nearly half a century of combat service, the Warthog is slowly leaving the battlefield, but its reputation as one of the greatest dedicated Close Air Support aircraft ever built is unlikely to be forgotten.

🚨 IRAN MAY SOON FACE THE A-10 WARTHOG Reports suggest the United States could deploy the A-10 Thunderbolt II — the legendary “Warthog” — against Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Basij units as the conflict intensifies. The A-10 is built for one purpose: destroying ground forces. Armed with its devastating 30mm GAU-8 cannon, the aircraft was designed to hunt tanks, vehicles, and entrenched troops — delivering overwhelming close-air support on the battlefield. If deployed against regime forces, the Warthog would signal a shift toward direct pressure on Iran’s military and paramilitary units on the ground. The aircraft’s reputation is well known: When the Warthog arrives, it means ground targets are about to be erased.

⚡🇺🇸The A-10 Thunderbolt II is back in the fight. Old, brutal, and still built for one thing… delivering raw energy with precision. It’s not retired. Not replaced. Still relevant. And it just showed up again.

🇺🇸 The U.S. military is deploying 18 additional A-10 Thunderbolt II planes to the Middle East, doubling their fleet. The A-10 is essentially a flying gun. The frame is built around a 19-foot-long, 4,000 pound GAU-8 30 mm auto cannon that fires at 65 rounds per second. Oh, and it’s incredibly durable. It can fly with one engine, half a tail, and even a severely damaged wing. Source: Clash Report

🇺🇸 The Air Force is making sure its jets never have to turn back early. An HC-130J Combat King II from the 71st Rescue Squadron ran air-to-air refueling drills with A-10 Thunderbolts from the 74th Fighter Squadron over Moody AFB, Georgia. The A-10 is a short-range aircraft built for close air support. Aerial refueling extends its reach dramatically and keeps it in the fight far longer than its fuel capacity normally allows. The more these crews drill it, the fewer limits there are on where and how long the A-10 can operate. Source: U.S. Air Force

“The WARTHOG is a flying tank.” Tom Sauer explains why the A-10 is so effective on the battlefield. “It’s built for close precision strikes — it can loiter, take massive hits, and still deliver devastating firepower.”

U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) introduced its newest airframe, the OA-1K Skyraider II. According to AFSOC, The Skyraider II is a “cost-effective crewed aircraft that is adaptable across the spectrum of conflict. It will have the ability to support special operations forces as well as the Joint Force through close air support, precision strike, and armed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷: U.S. and Israel are Preparing to Target Iran's Strait Of Hormuz Israeli media is reporting that the next phase is expected to center on reopening the waterway, with a major air buildup already in place across the region. • 12 F/A-18 fighter jets deployed • ~30 A-10 ground attack aircraft positioned • 6 AC-130 gunships assigned for close support • Several KC-135 Refuelers Additional forces are staged across bases in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, signaling integration with naval and marine operations. Ground action around Iranian-controlled islands is now on the table, marking a shift from air and maritime pressure to potential direct territorial engagement.

🚨 JD Vance just laid it out straight at the Air Force Academy. When the president says Iran will not get a nuclear weapon, it’s the men and women in the Air Force and Space Force who make that promise mean something. Penetrating denied airspace, striking from distance with precision, that’s American power in action. And he made it clear: in return for your service, you’re going to get the tools, the pay, the barracks, the hospitals, and the biggest defense budget this country has ever seen, $1.5 trillion. LFG! This is what supporting the troops actually looks like.

🚨 WATCH THIS CAREFULLY 🚨 This is what modern precision warfare looks like. Footage circulating appears to show a massive penetrating strike hitting a hardened target in Tehran. The blast force is so intense it lifts 6 lane pavement and sends vehicles 100 feet scattering in the air from the shockwave. This is not a drone. This is not a warning shot. This is deep-penetration ordnance designed for fortified infrastructure. If confirmed, this is strategic targeting at the highest level. Pause the video. Watch the ground reaction. Watch the overpressure wave. This is 21st-century American airpower. Developing. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove
