Yeah, I think he said he wrote about Fallujah.

Oh yeah, that one. My colleagues and I were about 20 miles away as the crow flies and heard all the various muffled popping sounds all day and night. We could see things in the distance during the day like A-10s swooping down, dropping things off, issuing its own popping sounds and ascending.

Our analysis was, “Somebody’s getting their asses kicked.”

It was over in a New York minute.

I wonder how A-10s would fare over the Ukraine battlefield?

Probably be a mixed result, I think.

The A-10 is from the viewpoint of ground troops the most important aircraft deployed by the Air Force in a combat zone.
