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...

2 bombs? If this author thinks that previously the A-10 only could carry 2 bombs then they are an idiot.

Reducing collateral damage is sometimes an undesirable feature.

Since the A-10 Warthog, recently seemingly destined for the scrap yard, is now engaging enemy Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Taliban forces in Afghanistan in the form of a new weapon with a badass name - the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System.


Layers of editors, and the first sentence out of the box isn’t even a sentence. It’s a fragment.

My favorite plane! It’s just awesome, and will still fly after its blown to hell, too. Can’t believe some idiot generals wanted to get rid of it years back. Make more!

This is my favorite warplane.

It's a flying tank, made to be a flying tank, in order to operate like a flying tank.

As a result, it actually IS a flying tank!

According to a statement from BAE, the new kit transforms a standard unguided munition into a precision laser-guided rocket.

Ummm...I may be wrong, but isn't a rocket with a guidance system a missile?

From dictionary.com

Guided missile - noun, an aerial missile, as a rocket, steered during its flight by radio signals, clockwork controls, etc.
