There are fair numbers of videos of A-10’s on YouTube. Search “A-10” or “warthog”.
It is effective for many reasons; in short, it is incredibly rugged and can fly with about 5/8 of the plane destroyed. This gives the pilots lots of confidence to get in close. And then there’s that gun, 1 round from which can knock out a tank. The rounds are supersonic which means the targets never hear them coming (as if that would make a difference) Multiple rounds from that thing can simply obliterate anything. The plane is one of the most perfect storms of design objectives in that it is a work of art in terms of pure destruction.
Yeah, go look at some YouTubes of it. Of course the Air Force hates it because they only cost a few million each instead of tens or hundreds of millions each.
Again, that is an often repeated myth and is not at all true.
About the only plane with more awesome conventional firepower than the ‘Hawg might be the AC-130 Spectre.
But I suspect the jug-eared sodomite in the WH will try to kill it, too!
