Special Forces saved by A-10 Thunderbolt after being pinned down by Taliban
By Staff Writer| February 14th, 2018|Popular, Videos|0 Comments
Of all the fixed-wing aircraft in America’s inventory, none are more welcome to lend a helping hand in a desperate ground fight than the A-10 Thunderbolt II.
Beloved by grunts for their dedicated crews and ability to bring fearsome firepower where it is needed most, the A-10 is the epitome of Close Air Support, a mission that often suffers the short-sightedness of US Air Force leadership, who prefer fast planes, flying high and munitions that can often cost more than the average house.
