The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II (Also known as the : A-10 Warthog) is an American single-seat, twin-turbofan, straight-wing, subsonic attack aircraft designed by Fairchild Republic and used by the USAF. In service since 1976, it is named after the World War II-era fighter-bomber P-47 Thunderbolt which was commonly known as the "Warthog" or "Hog".
The aircraft is designed for close air support (CAS) to friendly ground troops by attacking the opposing force's armored vehicles, tanks, and other ground enemy forces. Its secondary mission is to direct other aircraft in attacks on ground targets, a role called forward air contraller; which is another reason why it also got the designation of OA-10.
The A-10 was intended to improve the performance and firepower of the Douglas A-1 Skyraider. Its airframe was designed for durability, with measures such as 1,200 pounds of titanium armor to protect the cockpit and aircraft systems, enabling it to withstand as much damage and keeping flight.
The aircraft's service is extended to 2040.
With the aircraft armed with a GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon, it makes a unique sound when fired.
