Air Superiority Unleashes A-10 Over Iran, To The Chagrin Of USAF Leadership
By Brent Beecham
March 16, 2026
 
Editor's Note: The USAF leadership has tried hard to get rid of the A-10, good thing they were not successful

The A-10 Thunderbolt II, known as the Warthog, has once again demonstrated its enduring utility, despite repeated retirement efforts by the U.S. Air Force. Originally engineered during the Cold War to counter massed Soviet armored formations in Central Europe—primarily through its GAU-8/A 30mm Avenger cannon and AGM-65 Maverick missiles—the platform has repeatedly adapted to evolving operational demands.

In Operations Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom, the A-10 excelled in close air support (CAS) against conventional armor and irregular forces. Following the drawdown of those large-scale ground engagements, service leaders prioritized development and acquisition of fifth-generation fighters and advanced standoff capabilities. Yet, each time the platform faced phase-out, emerging threats revived its relevance.

The ongoing conflict in Iran—Operation Epic Fury—has provided the latest revival. Lessons from the Russia-Ukraine war highlighted the challenges of countering low-cost, massed one-way attack drones, such as the Iranian-designed Shahed series. High-performance fighters employing costly air-to-air missiles or even precision-guided munitions like the AGR-20 Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) prove inefficient and resource-intensive against swarms of inexpensive unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). High-speed, low-altitude maneuvering further complicates engagements for fast jets.

The Air Force should not be a part of this equation.  Let the Army and Marines purchase their own A-10s.  There is no excuse for making them go through the Air Force first to purchase aircraft.  The Army should not be blocked from going to Lockheed directly to purchase more C-130s, much less some A-10s.

The current round of efforts to reach a cease-fire between the U.S. and Iran has reached a dead end, mediators said Friday -WSJ

Iran told the mediators it isn’t willing to meet U.S. officials in Islamabad in the coming days and that U.S. demands are unacceptable.

This is a significant loss, obviously, but ...

In the context of the past 5 weeks, the US has been flying B-52s, B-1s, F-15Es, and F/A-18E/Fs in Iranian airspace for 4 weeks or more, and A-10Cs for 2 or 4 weeks (reports vary). B-52s and B-1s have the RCS and IR visibility of an adult bull African elephant. F-15Es and F/A-18E/Fs have the RCS and IR visibility of a black rhino. And A-10Cs are Warthogs. In context, what is remarkable and indicative of how things stand is that this is Iran's first shootdown.

The problem lies in the law that separated what became the USAF from the USA. My understanding is that the law severely limits what kinds of fixed wing aircraft the Army can own/operate.

Trump needs to stop saying we *own the air* over Iran...

Fox hasn't said anything about the A-10..unless I missed it.

So how many pilots are unaccounted for now?

Second US jet took enemy fire, but was not shot down, contrary to reports

Reports that a second ⁠U.S. Air Force combat ‌plane was shot down Friday in ⁠the Persian Gulf ​region are not accurate.

An A-10 Warthog attack caught "enemy fire" while a rescue operation for the U.S. crew member took place, a well-placed source told Fox News.

The New York Times reported the aircraft crashed in the Persian Gulf and that its lone pilot was rescued.

An Air Force F-15E was shot down over Iran Friday and one pilot was rescued. A search for a second crew member was underway.

Fox News' Jennifer Griffin contributed to this report.

Israel is providing intelligence to the United States in order to assist with the ongoing search for the Weapon Systems Officer (WSO) of an American F-15E Strike Eagle downed earlier today over Iran, with N12 reporting that the WSO made contact earlier via an encrypted radio device with U.S. forces, as search-and-rescue operations continue in Southern Iran.

Excerpt:
Iranian state media thought they had a heroic story on their hands: a brave civilian who single-handedly shot down five “enemy” drones using nothing but a hunting rifle. They ran the interview, praised the man as a patriot, and used it to boost morale during the ongoing war.

There was just one problem.



The IRGC reminds me of the relentless, one-sided propaganda pushed by Euro elites’ on the Ukraine war with the same mix of bravado, denial, and attempt at narrative control

Trump needs to stop saying we *own the air* over Iran...

Fox hasn't said anything about the A-10..unless I missed it.

So how many pilots are unaccounted for now?

OK, it takes something very powerful and accurate to down a Hawg.  I'm starting to wonder of the Russians have sent the IRGC some of their S-300s to shoot at USAF and IAF aircraft?  Something has clearly changed in the Iranian airspace over the past three-four days.  I'd be most curious to find out what.

Their drone capability is being enhanced every day by Russia.  They're never going to run out of drones as long as we do nothing to stop it.

Maybe portable anti-aircraft guns abandoned in Bagram.

Maybe.

At any rate, apparently there's an emergency meeting going on right now in the White House with Trump, all the National defense cabinet secretaries and military senior brass, and the intelligence agency heads.

Trump seems to be at a decision point, after the events over the past few days.

His options:

1)   Escalate further and take Kharg Island and those in the Strait using the USMC.

2)  Drop the 82nd Airborne onto Iran's Strait-side coastal pocket to form a defensive perimeter there and re-open Hormuz.

3)  Drop the 82nd Airborne deep into Iran, along with U.S. SpecOps, to seize and remove Iran's nuclear material.

4) Declare victory and bring the troops, sailors, and airmen home.

5) Nuke Iran.

6) All of the above.

Second US jet took enemy fire, but was not shot down, contrary to reports

Reports that a second ⁠U.S. Air Force combat ‌plane was shot down Friday in ⁠the Persian Gulf ​region are not accurate.

An A-10 Warthog attack caught "enemy fire" while a rescue operation for the U.S. crew member took place, a well-placed source told Fox News.

The New York Times reported the aircraft crashed in the Persian Gulf and that its lone pilot was rescued.

An Air Force F-15E was shot down over Iran Friday and one pilot was rescued. A search for a second crew member was underway.

Fox News' Jennifer Griffin contributed to this report.
