A loud buzzing burst of machine-gun fire from the skies. It is as American as MacDonalds, and has been a sight for sore eyes in countless military operations. This iconic sound is the result of 30mm GAU-8 cannon. The GAU-8 has a range of over 12,000 feet and fires at an astounding 3,900 rounds per minute. This cannon has such a high velocity that targets never even hear the gunfire even though the gun can put basketball-sized holes in vehicles after a strafe. The A-10 also comes equipped with MK-82 and MK-84 Jdam satellite guided bombs that can be dropped right on top of targets. Finally, the Warthog can also be equipped with incendiary devices, mine-dropping capabilities, and a myriad of other conventional munitions. Many defense leaders wants to replace the aging A-10 with highly advanced F-35 lightening ii. Drones were also proposed to replace the A-10, but neither the F-35 nor the Reaper drone can match the Warthog’s firepower. The old A-10 expected to be in service until 2028.
