The A-10 Warthog has been a key player in close air support since the 1970's! 💥✈ What do you think makes the 'Tankbuster' so effective on the battlefield and is it still relevant today? Share your thoughts in the comments! 💬🔥 ~Mike 👍
F 16 should be used to take out Russian air defense systems and aircraft while the A-10 should be used to take out Russian ground troops like tanks and infantry
Well, actually I would say that, too, however you should keep it in mind, it is a different situation in Ukraine unlike the middleeast or afghanistan, they first need to have air superiority in the sky, so yeah f-16 first...
Interesting.... more than one of the A10s featured here have a football sized dent on the nose in exactly the same place. Can anyone explain that please?
Thats a good question @bubblezovlove7213. I have seen damage like this caused by bird strikes and also by a tanker’s boom during AAR (Air to Air Refueling) operations. Apparently many A-10s have their noses more or less damaged by the flying boom that is inserted by the tanker’s “boomer” into the Warthog’s receptacle that is located in the nose of the aircraft in front of the cockpit. Usually, such dents don’t affect the aircraft’s ability to fly hence they are left there until the next major maintenance work. I hope you enjoyed the video. Stay tuned for more to come! :-)
@neerajoshi5473 Thanks for your comment. Yes, both Russia and Ukraine are fielding the SU-25. There seems to be a mix of different numbers out there depending on the sources that you check, but its believed that Russia has around 200 airworthy SU-25's at their disposal and Ukraine has somewhere in the region of 30. With the ongoing support from NATO, my question was about the concept of adding the A-10 in to the mix to help support the 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive.
@@airlandmarine Yes, the A 10 is better than the SU 25 but A 10 is extremely vulnerable to Russian S 400s first F-16 have to destroy those air defense then only the A-10 can do it’s full work work
@neerajoshi5473 Yes, as you say the A-10 would only be part of the solution. I hope you enjoyed the video. Stay tuned for more interesting videos to come and thanks again for your comments and support.
Thanks for your comment @DavidBrown-im4ph. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm not familiar with the new A-10. Which version are you referring to? I would certainly be happy to look in to it for another video. They have talked about the F-35 filling it's shoes and I have done a couple of videos on that if you are interested. See here: th-cam.com/video/DaaPZVT4_t8/w-d-xo.html and here: th-cam.com/video/pSKAihpYfD0/w-d-xo.html . Thanks for watching! ~Mike
The Ukrainian Sukkhoi Su 25 Frogfoot Ground Attack Aircraft can Compare against A-10 Warthog to see for Real ,which is the Better Proven Ground Support Aircraft between the 2 Rivals Ground Support Aircraft.
@Wongwanchungwongjumbo yes, both aircraft are closely matched, each with their own unique strengths. It would be a tough one to call and perhaps a good topic for one of my future videos.
it would make a difference it would slow the Russians down as they would have to drive around all the crashed a 10 wreaks . The a10 only works in controlled air space Ukraine do not control the air space they would all be shot down in mins of entering the Ao
@LEAD-DISPENSER :-) Yes, it would appear that the air defenses fielded by both Russia and Ukraine have for the moment made tactical jets essentially worthless . I also touch in this at 14:18 in the video.
@@airlandmarine yes I did see that bloody good vid actually . i thought the apkws would of got its own mention an the engines up high so it can land at forward operations without dirt an crap damaging the engine but all an all a very well thought out an executed video i enjoyed it
@LEAD-DISPENSER to be honest I found it difficult to know where to draw the line as there is so much that I could talk about. In the end I tried to strike a balance but I'm always happy to take advice and feedback (the good and the bad) and to also consider suggestions for future videos. Thank you for your positive comments, I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. Stay tuned for more to come!
Thanks for your comment @jake1776. Sending the A10 to Ukraine continues to divide opinion. In either case I hope you enjoyed the video. If you did, please consider sharing and subscribing to my channel. Thanks for your support. 👍🏻
Always felt invincible when a warthog was providing CAS! 82ND Airborne 1/504th Parachute Infantry Regiment "Strike Hold!"
@randyboisa6367 Thanks for your comment and for sharing your first hand experience of the Warthog in action. I hope you enjoyed the video.
I've seen sooooo many A-10 videos I very nearly didn't click, but HOLY COW this footage!! Nice work :)
Thank you for all of your positive feedback @GabrielRoberts. Your support it very much appreciated. Stay tuned for more to come...

Such a great aircraft! Awesome footage of its firepower in action.
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. 👍🏻
Ukraine should get all the aircraft F 16 and 15 F15 Mirage 2000 and A 10

true this is he best option instead of f 16
@rheonepomuceno5572 Yes, I think so too. I hope you enjoyed the video.
Ukraine already has its own version of the A-10 it’s called the SU 25

For attacking ground targets and trenches the A-10 is the best choice.
@robertperry6048 Yes, I agree. I hope you enjoyed the video.
Warthog attacking trenches in Ukraine it would easily fall prey to 9K333 Verba.
I look forward to you doing a video on the new A10!

Send Both A-10 Warthog and Lockheed F16 Fighter jets Together and might Turn the Tide to Allied Forces Coalition.
@Wongwanchungwongjumbo Thanks for your comment, that's an interesting idea!
The Hog goes low and destroys everything the F 16 flies High Cap covering the Hog from incoming fighters
@carlcolvin8320 #TAGTEAM :-)
What do you think about the A-10? Iconic or antique? 🤔 ~Mike

why would this or any other aircraft make any differece ?.... the outcome was planned well before the "conflict" even started ....
The question is “Could” it make a difference? Thanks for your comment, I hope you enjoyed the video.
The F16 and a10 should be sent to work together in Ukraine. How dumb not to do this?
