I would like to know the launch parameters of the A-10 to achieve 40NM.
Perhaps 25,000ft MSL at 450 KTAS.
What I would like to see is an Air Launched version of the GLSDB.
“I would like to know the launch parameters of the A-10 to achieve 40NM.”
How about just outside of SHOrt Range Air Defense from the Russian front line trenches? It is a Close Air Support jet, there to bring heat to the close battle on the ground. Is there a profile where it could pop up and launch, without getting hit?
I can't tell from the close up if these had rocket nozzles in the back, or if it is just a tailfin cap for flight control. I'm not familiar with them. You may have gotten your wish.
