The A-10 Warthog Is Getting Some Lethal Upgrades

    In late August, the Air Force awarded Boeing a contract to build 112 new sets of wings for the A-10.

    Now, more improvements are coming, including new weapons, cockpit upgrades, and helmet-mounted controls.

    The Air Force will eventually replace the A-10 with the F-35 in the close air support role.
