I was hoping for a keg of bacon grease to spray over the belt feeding mechanism of 30mm rounds....Black Jack Pershing type of terror against the Muj.

“...the minimal collateral damage left when fired...”
Collateral damage is what convinces the rest of them not to screw with other people in the future.

which means that the A-10 can carry 38 of these... Oh hell yes. Because the Warthog was starting to look a little wimpy there...
To: blam
2 bombs? If this author thinks that previously the A-10 only could carry 2 bombs then they are an idiot.

I did some quality Air Force time around these birds. My most dominate remembrance of them is this:

Reducing collateral damage is sometimes an undesirable feature.

I think that is what happens when one designs a flying gun disguised as an airplane.

The long bull fart was usually the echo of the initial high pitched growl. The bird makes a statement, more of an announcement really. It speaks a unique language that needs no translation in any part of this planet. And, there is no place to hide from it unless you can dig a hole deep enough fast enough.
It’s my favorite since I was a kid and got to watch them practice on a live fire range from the scoring tower at Camp Atterbury.

Darn straight! Awesome idea. It worked for him in the Philippines, it would work now.

The A-10, the result of a back of the napkin sketch intended to be a winner. Today the design goal is to make cronies rich.
