@@pd28cat and what do you want them to replace the gun runs with? bombs dropped by F35s at 30,000 feet? . do you really think a 500 pound bomb dropped as "danger close" as they called in the gun run is going to do less friendly damage?
So I saw an interview with the pilot who flew this mission. He said troops were in contact and called for air support. They sent a couple of B-1 B bombers a couple of F-16s and another fighter aircraft system along with two A-10s. He said the weather started closing in and none of the other aircraft could help because they couldn’t pick up the target but the A-10s were on station and destroyed the enemy. Love those Hogs.
Those A-10 pilots are a different breed. I read an article about a woman who piloted an A-10 in manual reversion from Iraq to Kuwait. She described it like driving a semi with no power steering.
Triple redundancy on flight controls, can RTB with half a wing missing, half a stab missing, and one engine out. Thing is a flying tank. BRRRRRRT for me baby 😍
Thank you Sir/Ma'am for working so hard to keep those life saving aircraft operational. I believe that my Soldiers and I are here today only because of the A-10 and the brave pilots who were not afraid to "get down and dirty" to support us. I pray that aircraft is never retired but only improved.
No one would have noticed but 0-1 adjusted his rudder, utilizing the yawing motion to fire rounds laterally without commanding a rolling input. That’s a straight shooter ladies and gentlemen, and a fine pilot.
@@joemakepeace6652 If you roll and yaw a plane or.. anything at the same time you can keep your nose on the target. Roll is left right rolling your hand. Yaw is left right spinning your hand. Now make your hand a jet. Now roll the hand while flat spinning the hand the opposite direction. Your fighter jet hand stays on target. In this case he's saying he only flew the flat spinning part of your fighter jet hand to get this to occur, which is harder, because it's a plane and not your hand.
As a FO, I can say having an A 10 on station, is like having your big brother watching your back on the playground. Hopefully you won’t need him, but if you do, you know the problem is SOLVED. Semper fi earthlings
This is only recording the radio audio and a few sounds the pilot makes into his mic when not transmitting. The continuous tone in the background comes from the 400Hz AC power used in the A-10 and most aircraft.
@@markthompson8656 Yeah, I mean the previous upload of this video was lower resolution, it was harder to see anything in that. I think it might have been a foggy day.
Words cannot express how well all the teams work together to execute the mission at hand, from soldiers, sailors, radio operators, coordinators, pilots, ground crew and anyone else I have missed off. All life and liberty protectors, god bless and safe travels.
I was once an aircraft mechanic in the Air Force and you are very correct. There is an extensive team of hundreds of people working in the background to facilitate these engagements. It’s an incredible machine to witness and it was built over a long period of trial and error. They have this stuff down to a science now.
Praying for support then seeing an a10 is one of gods gifts to me and my Sgt Bless those pilots! I miss talking to them Some of the best human beings I’ve ever met!
In 2006, while on a recon north of Takur Ghar with Army SF, our alpha detachment came under heavy fire from a Taliban position. We were caught in the open, taking RPG and heavy machine gun fire from a tree line. We called in the situation and within an hour a flight of two A10s arrived on scene. We had a medivac hovering beyond our position, unable to get to the LZ and extract our three wounded so time was critical. The two A10s made several staffing runs, totally suppressing enemy fire. All it took was ten minutes and they departed. Blackhawk in, wounded out. I caught shrapnel but was able to make it into enemy emplacements for a recon, body count. All we found among the shredded trees were scattered body parts. Those 30mm’s raised hell. I’ll never forget a team mate calling my attention to a human torso, missing legs and head up about 15 feet, blown into one of the trees. Well done. Very well done. Thanks to the JTAC controller and pilots of the 354th FS.
It just boggles the mind how those guys able to execute in such situations, i never understand how they are able to separate enemy from friendly or even know which building to shoot at while flying like this. My hats off to you all.
In 1991 Gulf War and Iraq, it mainly involved pilots looking through binoculars - in a time when proper targeting systems and IFF reading was already a thing. Needless to say the A-10 has killed a lot of friendly soldiers, more than any other aircraft in service as well as suffered the most losses. The hype around the A-10 is grossly undeserved.
@@annoyed707or the British convoy, which was really tragic because the flight lead saw the orange identification panels, but his complete yeehaw wingman convinced him they were orange painted rockets.
I was in the Air Force, at the first USAF NATO base that received A-10's, back in the late 70's, RAF Woodbridge. I was the base weather station commander, and my team provided operational weather support for two squadrons, and an Air Rescue and Recovery Squadron (ARRS), with the huge HH-53 Sea Stallions. We also had a small group of Canberra bombers. Our sister base, a couple of miles away, RAF Bentwaters, had three more A-10 squadrons. The Soviets were TERRIFIED of this plane. I know this for a fact..as my wife and I went to Moscow in 1979, on vacation, and were picked up and interrogated by the KGB, or perhaps the GRU. Not sure. I didn't tell them shit.
I live 5 minutes away from what was RAF Woodbridge. I'm so sad that there aren't any A10's flying around anymore. I'd have loved to have them coming and going. Such a cool aircraft. Now it's Apaches, Chinooks and Ospreys that shake my house on low passes.
My hair stood up when he 1st started firing, I think it’s cause it sounded like the guy on the ground really needed that, and I feel better hearing how the guy sounds calmer like he’s not in as much danger as before the warthog started gun running
Love the warthog. I appreciate my best friend providing assistance as a pilot of aApache longbow during operation enduring freedom.. I have mad respect for him and all you guys. As we said to each other, ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies 🙏🇺🇲🎯
Can you imagine being the pilot, hearing the JTAC fully stressed with gunfire as background in the comms, and then you hear him again, composed and with no background guns going off. I spoke to 1 A-10 pilot and he said it's the best and most rewarding thing to hear.
As a civilian, I am both impressed and grateful to hear the expertise and professionalism being displayed here. The guy on the ground was legit when calling in the air cover. If it was me, I'd have no clue what to ask for or how to direct them. Good guns! Good guns! Very impressive.
Just before that, 0-2 called in hot, and was immediately redirected by the flight leader Hog-01 to fly cover. One of the highest priorities for CAS missions is locating the players and keeping jets attacking in sequence and in a cordon that minimizes blue-on-blue risk.
While that is true there is plenty of audio that is, shall we say, less than professional. Not judging either way just sayin. I’m not even gonna begin to question the headspace of guys like this.
too much DCS for me. i feel like i'm HOG 01 every now and then....... Can only imagine how tricky this is for the pilot due to the amount of mountains etc.
@@Rosskles yeah.... im not sure if pilot had a TPOD/JHMCS/thermals, maybe was too foggy to even use that so credit to him being able to pinpoint and stick the target.
@@jungleboy1 He made sure he was 100% not going to hit friendlies even though the guys on the ground were in some heavy shit. That shows the level of responsibility these pilots know they hold when using such a powerful weapon of war.
The GAU, you are kinda safe if you hear it (or the last thing you hear, depending on distance). The A-10/Warthog is a beast and a half. It is still a tank buster in my opinion. But the role changed, with the capabilities.
The bullets fly faster than the BRRT. That's the thing. By the time you hear the BRRRT anything it was going to hit was already dead. By the time you hear the BRRT the bullets already got there, the audio waves are just reaching your ears late. The BRRRT is the sound of death already happening.
Those were some serious turns. 45 degrees in my little Cessna and I felt like I was going to slip on down. Airspeed is your friend when altitude is not. LOL I thought I would see the cannon trails but not. Just rattling. Cool vid.
And this is why i could never be a pilot, I could barely see the buildings. It would have been waaayyyy too late to shoot by time I could tell what he’d already fired at! Salute to those pilots!
This video is intentionally degraded from what the pilot actually sees. You'd be fine if you made it through training and qualification to become a pilot.
This isn't what the pilots see homie. This is *the worst possible view* you could have. This is just HUD footage that was evidently shot through a dirty fish tank. Lol😅
The hog is favorite plane. It's a beast for land support. I believe it has gone beyond expectations as it was suppose to retire many times but continues on with war efforts. Long live the HOG!
The A-10 is pretty far beyond it's useful service life. We only fly it in safe places (absolutely no enemy air defense) and use it as a troop morale tool. As a troop morale tool it is probably the single most effective thing you can bring to bear in a crisis. But the A-10 has kill a lot of Americans on the battle field just because that gun splatters all over the place, and people really think they can have the A-10 come in and shoot a bunch of guys on a wall 50 yards away without ever catching the friendlies
It's suffered the most losses out of any plane in service and has killed the most friendly soldiers as well. It is horrendously obsolete, assuming it was ever effective to begin with, and served a redundant role that virtually anything from the F-15, F-16, B1, B2, F-111, and F-35 has proven to do faster, more safely, and more accurately. The reason it hasn't been phased out isn't because it's effective, it's because it has a shitload of lobbyists forcing it to remain in service, lobbyists who either have a vested interest in keeping it around or simply buy the same hype the general public does, being part of the zeitgeist that close air support is nothing but primitive, tanky, slowass planes with guns and not the high altitude, long range, precision ordnance that's been doing it better even before the A-10 was in service.
Why the Hog needs to be kept up until a proper replacement is found. The F-35 can do things, but not like this. The sound of that plane is unique. The enemy hears it. The friendlies hear it. Every pass means death for someone on the enemy side. You can make it more survivable, more powerful, but you cannot replace the idea of it nor the effect on the ground it makes just from its presence.
The A-10 is great against ground forces with no AA. Against a near peer enemy they'd be shot down pretty easily. They need to develop a new CAS aircraft from the ground up with stealth.
@@impulsiveDecider the fact that the airforce has tried to replace the A-10 multiple times and still can't. The designation of the A-10 is attacker, not multi-role. F-35 is a fighter, only 'multi-role' aircraft capable of competing with the A-10 is either the F/A-18 or F-15 but they can't loiter the airspace with low speed, take damage or strafe soft targets like the A-10 can. The A-10 was designed to eat damage and fly away with half of it's control surfaces gone.
at 1:20 ground states "all friendlies are to the NORTH" but the gun run is "South to North"? excuse my lack of knowledge but shouldn't the gun run be from any other vectors other than S->N or N->S, considering the proximity of friendlies?
Man the amount of confidence we got from the boys in the sky was incredible. Looking back, I still feel that rush hearing 200 rounds hit the ground in seconds just up the hill from us. The feeling of security you got when you knew the hogs were in the air delivering what might as well be lightning from gods fingertip was incredible
3 coolest things I saw in Iraq were the A-10s and C-RAM firing, and Apaches strafing a traffic circle at night from a distance. Looked like fricking red laser beams coming down.
I always heard that firing the gatling gun had so much backwards force that it could lower the airspeed. Seeing the airspeed drop from 313 to 311 while he's on a downward angle is definitely proof enough for me.
lol. These two pilots don’t like each other. Hog 1’s call was shooter/cover meaning first plane is supposed to attack the target and second plane is covering him from threats. After hog 1s run, hog 2 says “in hot”. Right around 2:22 hog 1 says “dude I said cover!” To which hog 2 responds “piss off” hahahaha I love A10s but man pilots can be the worst 😂
I don't think Hog 2 said "piss off", I think he said "guns off" , or something indicating him calling off of his gun run. He won't disrespect a higher officer like that.
@@-007-2 lmao… tell me you’ve never been in the military without telling me you’ve never been in the military. Also, most likely they are the same rank. One guy might be more senior but 100% that second pilot wanted to get his gun on without missing an opportunity.
"Dude I said cover" good call considering his wing still didnt have situational awareness as was indicated just prior regarding smoke... Later he then verifies acquisition and sends wing in. Overall a perfect operation and top notch!
2:18 Sounds like: "Dude I said Cover..." "Piss off" Maybe Hog 0-2 said "-is off" like "Hog 0-2 is off" If he did say piss offand disregarded his wingman, I'm sure it was the pressure of wanting to assist their ground forces. The controller sounded pretty urgent about wanting guns on the building after Hog 0-1's "show of force" Also aren't ground forces north of the target, why do they keep running south-north?!
The whole running in south-north perked my ears too. Though the pilot did say he had visual on friendlies, so may have seen them behind cover or just of axis. Who knows though. I'm sure the pilot knew what he was doing and jtac didn't wave him off when he called himself running in.
I was in a place called Kot in Afghanistan and we were attacked in the middle of the night by RPG. When I radioed the attack to higher another rpg hit and they heard it. So they took us very seriously and sent AIR. I requested UAV, but instead they sent A-10's. Unfortunately, I didn't get to call in an air strike because by the time they arrived the people that attacked us were long gone. They stayed with us all night long and they were relieved by F-15s who stayed with us for a few hours until I told them were where probably good. It must of been a slow day in Afghanistan because the Air didn't seem to want to leave us. This incident wasn't that serous but it was good to know that if it did turn serious we would have had alot of help.
You're funny, because not long after that I graduated from RIP/RASP and went on over 4000 missions not counting the call outs and I'm created with 20+ CQB kills.

So I saw an interview with the pilot who flew this mission. He said troops were in contact and called for air support. They sent a couple of B-1 B bombers a couple of F-16s and another fighter aircraft system along with two A-10s. He said the weather started closing in and none of the other aircraft could help because they couldn’t pick up the target but the A-10s were on station and destroyed the enemy. Love those Hogs.
Those A-10 pilots are a different breed. I read an article about a woman who piloted an A-10 in manual reversion from Iraq to Kuwait. She described it like driving a semi with no power steering.

In 2006, while on a recon north of Takur Ghar with Army SF, our alpha detachment came under heavy fire from a Taliban position. We were caught in the open, taking RPG and heavy machine gun fire from a tree line. We called in the situation and within an hour a flight of two A10s arrived on scene. We had a medivac hovering beyond our position, unable to get to the LZ and extract our three wounded so time was critical.
The two A10s made several staffing runs, totally suppressing enemy fire. All it took was ten minutes and they departed. Blackhawk in, wounded out. I caught shrapnel but was able to make it into enemy emplacements for a recon, body count. All we found among the shredded trees were scattered body parts. Those 30mm’s raised hell. I’ll never forget a team mate calling my attention to a human torso, missing legs and head up about 15 feet, blown into one of the trees.
Well done. Very well done. Thanks to the JTAC controller and pilots of the 354th FS.

It just boggles the mind how those guys able to execute in such situations, i never understand how they are able to separate enemy from friendly or even know which building to shoot at while flying like this. My hats off to you all.
In 1991 Gulf War and Iraq, it mainly involved pilots looking through binoculars - in a time when proper targeting systems and IFF reading was already a thing.
Needless to say the A-10 has killed a lot of friendly soldiers, more than any other aircraft in service as well as suffered the most losses.
The hype around the A-10 is grossly undeserved.
Sometimes they don't get it right. Recall the Canadian troops bombed by a gung ho pilot who thought he knew best? The widows are recalling every day.
Jfc
@@annoyed707or the British convoy, which was really tragic because the flight lead saw the orange identification panels, but his complete yeehaw wingman convinced him they were orange painted rockets.
Incredible identifying a target in that fog.
From those of us that were on the A-10 test program at Edwards in 1976 scoring 30mm target hits -- we echo the call "good guns..."
The velocity of those rounds going down range is always impressive.
I was in the Air Force, at the first USAF NATO base that received A-10's, back in the late 70's, RAF Woodbridge. I was the base weather station commander, and my team provided operational weather support for two squadrons, and an Air Rescue and Recovery Squadron (ARRS), with the huge HH-53 Sea Stallions. We also had a small group of Canberra bombers. Our sister base, a couple of miles away, RAF Bentwaters, had three more A-10 squadrons. The Soviets were TERRIFIED of this plane. I know this for a fact..as my wife and I went to Moscow in 1979, on vacation, and were picked up and interrogated by the KGB, or perhaps the GRU. Not sure. I didn't tell them shit.
I live 5 minutes away from what was RAF Woodbridge. I'm so sad that there aren't any A10's flying around anymore. I'd have loved to have them coming and going. Such a cool aircraft.
Now it's Apaches, Chinooks and Ospreys that shake my house on low passes.
My hair stood up when he 1st started firing, I think it’s cause it sounded like the guy on the ground really needed that, and I feel better hearing how the guy sounds calmer like he’s not in as much danger as before the warthog started gun running
You can definitely hear that unmistakable relief in his voice after they took that pressure off off them
That has to be the greatest feeling ever as a pilot to hear good guns and the voice hearing relief

Can you imagine being the pilot, hearing the JTAC fully stressed with gunfire as background in the comms, and then you hear him again, composed and with no background guns going off. I spoke to 1 A-10 pilot and he said it's the best and most rewarding thing to hear.
As a civilian, I am both impressed and grateful to hear the expertise and professionalism being displayed here. The guy on the ground was legit when calling in the air cover. If it was me, I'd have no clue what to ask for or how to direct them. Good guns! Good guns! Very impressive.
For frig sake everyone, Hog 0-2 says "Two's off." indicating that he's broken off his run!
It's not some Hollywood movie.
Just before that, 0-2 called in hot, and was immediately redirected by the flight leader Hog-01 to fly cover.
One of the highest priorities for CAS missions is locating the players and keeping jets attacking in sequence and in a cordon that minimizes blue-on-blue risk.
While that is true there is plenty of audio that is, shall we say, less than professional. Not judging either way just sayin. I’m not even gonna begin to question the headspace of guys like this.
I could not tell what was going on. I could never be a pilot. God Bless those men. Damn. Takes a special person

The GAU, you are kinda safe if you hear it (or the last thing you hear, depending on distance). The A-10/Warthog is a beast and a half. It is still a tank buster in my opinion. But the role changed, with the capabilities.
Yup, HE-Frag milk bottles do a number to soft flesh in a wide area.
The bullets fly faster than the BRRT. That's the thing. By the time you hear the BRRRT anything it was going to hit was already dead. By the time you hear the BRRT the bullets already got there, the audio waves are just reaching your ears late. The BRRRT is the sound of death already happening.
I recall thos being uploaded by someone else, i think with additional context given in the description. Im glad there is an archive of this video.

The hog is favorite plane. It's a beast for land support. I believe it has gone beyond expectations as it was suppose to retire many times but continues on with war efforts. Long live the HOG!
Is the audio nowadays still so noisy as before? My god
The A-10 is pretty far beyond it's useful service life. We only fly it in safe places (absolutely no enemy air defense) and use it as a troop morale tool.
As a troop morale tool it is probably the single most effective thing you can bring to bear in a crisis.
But the A-10 has kill a lot of Americans on the battle field just because that gun splatters all over the place, and people really think they can have the A-10 come in and shoot a bunch of guys on a wall 50 yards away without ever catching the friendlies
It's suffered the most losses out of any plane in service and has killed the most friendly soldiers as well. It is horrendously obsolete, assuming it was ever effective to begin with, and served a redundant role that virtually anything from the F-15, F-16, B1, B2, F-111, and F-35 has proven to do faster, more safely, and more accurately.
The reason it hasn't been phased out isn't because it's effective, it's because it has a shitload of lobbyists forcing it to remain in service, lobbyists who either have a vested interest in keeping it around or simply buy the same hype the general public does, being part of the zeitgeist that close air support is nothing but primitive, tanky, slowass planes with guns and not the high altitude, long range, precision ordnance that's been doing it better even before the A-10 was in service.
Wow. This brought me back to a place I have worked so hard to get past.
Kinda surprised it took you this long to show this. I've watched it several times on a different channel. It's nuts.
It has to be nerve wracking to be a pilot providing support to ground troops and worrying about friendly fire.
Hog-02 sounds like Dale Stark.. just watched his interview on Shawn Ryan Show. God bless these men.
Why the Hog needs to be kept up until a proper replacement is found. The F-35 can do things, but not like this. The sound of that plane is unique. The enemy hears it. The friendlies hear it. Every pass means death for someone on the enemy side. You can make it more survivable, more powerful, but you cannot replace the idea of it nor the effect on the ground it makes just from its presence.
The A-10 is great against ground forces with no AA. Against a near peer enemy they'd be shot down pretty easily. They need to develop a new CAS aircraft from the ground up with stealth.
Let's say it together: "CAS is a mission, not a platform".
@@impulsiveDecider there's no plane that can do cas like the A-10, that's why it's hard to replace.
@@ayylmao182 In what context? There are currently no near peer conflicts that have the permissive airspace to use the A-10.
@@impulsiveDecider the fact that the airforce has tried to replace the A-10 multiple times and still can't. The designation of the A-10 is attacker, not multi-role. F-35 is a fighter, only 'multi-role' aircraft capable of competing with the A-10 is either the F/A-18 or F-15 but they can't loiter the airspace with low speed, take damage or strafe soft targets like the A-10 can. The A-10 was designed to eat damage and fly away with half of it's control surfaces gone.
That feeling of relief after getting air support is incredible
I called CAS only once as we were pinned by a sniper in Tikrit. The sound of those helos is the BEST feeling.

Are these guys from the 188th fighter wing? The call sign “Hog” has me curious because the A-10s with the 188th had razorbacks on them
Every A-10 I worked with in country used a HOG callsign.
"Dude I said cover" good call considering his wing still didnt have situational awareness as was indicated just prior regarding smoke... Later he then verifies acquisition and sends wing in. Overall a perfect operation and top notch!
2:18
Sounds like:
"Dude I said Cover..."
"Piss off"
Maybe Hog 0-2 said "-is off" like "Hog 0-2 is off"
If he did say piss offand disregarded his wingman, I'm sure it was the pressure of wanting to assist their ground forces. The controller sounded pretty urgent about wanting guns on the building after Hog 0-1's "show of force"
Also aren't ground forces north of the target, why do they keep running south-north?!
His fangs were out, tread with care.
The whole running in south-north perked my ears too. Though the pilot did say he had visual on friendlies, so may have seen them behind cover or just of axis. Who knows though. I'm sure the pilot knew what he was doing and jtac didn't wave him off when he called himself running in.

For those who play WARNO, some of this audio is used in the background radio chatter. I had a full on "why tf have i heard this before" moment.
I was in a place called Kot in Afghanistan and we were attacked in the middle of the night by RPG. When I radioed the attack to higher another rpg hit and they heard it. So they took us very seriously and sent AIR. I requested UAV, but instead they sent A-10's. Unfortunately, I didn't get to call in an air strike because by the time they arrived the people that attacked us were long gone. They stayed with us all night long and they were relieved by F-15s who stayed with us for a few hours until I told them were where probably good. It must of been a slow day in Afghanistan because the Air didn't seem to want to leave us. This incident wasn't that serous but it was good to know that if it did turn serious we would have had alot of help.
