The A-10 Thunderbolt II

The US Fighters Series has been cancelled.

Anyway, now more informal articles will be produced.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II
The A-10 Warthog is one of the best ever USAF anti-tank aircraft. After the USAF's exprence in Korea and Veitnam, they asked a company for a propose-desinged AT aircraft. The company designed the Warthog.

The Warthog was first used in the First Gulf War. They where used as a anti-tank aircraft. They took many Iraqi tank casuties and shot down 6 helicopters with air-to-air missiles. They took on a simmilar job in the Second Gulf War.

The A-10 is armed with a leathal depleted uranimum cannon, which can kill a tank in one shot, from over four miles away. The A-10 also can be armed with missiles, "dumb" bombs and "smart" bombs.
They are expected to leave USAF service in 2010, but with updating, they are going to be around for alot longer.
