Did Iran End the A-10’s Career?

The A-10 Thunderbolt II is old, loud, not stealthy, and somehow still here. In this video we take a look at why the Air Force keeps trying to retire it, why Congress keeps saying no, and why it continues to show up in active combat anyway. Between the GAU-8 Avenger turning things into scrap metal and the fact that shooting a gun is a lot cheaper than launching a missile, the Warthog keeps finding ways to stay relevant even as everything around it gets more expensive and more complicated. Yes, there are BRRT jokes. No, they are not stopping anytime soon. At the same time, modern warfare is moving in a direction that does not exactly favor a single purpose aircraft designed in the 1970s. Multirole fighters, drones, and long range strike priorities are slowly pushing the A-10 out of the spotlight, even if it is still very good at what it does. So if it is cheap, effective, and popular, why does the Air Force keep trying to get rid of it, and what will actually finish the job? This is a breakdown of the strategy, politics, and reality behind the aircraft that has been “about to retire” for the last two decades. --------------------------- Instagram:   / formerlytalyor   Merch: https://www.bunkerbranding.com/pages/...
