The A-10 is a monster that destroys anything in it's path and clear any field. The A -10 is one of the most feared planes of our military and it will be called upon to help our soldiers every time.
From a combat infantryman's perspective, when you hear A- 10 is on location. You know you got some help. You will live to fight another day. It's slower than most jets. This aircraft does what it is designed to do. And no other aircraft can outperform, form an effective job like. The A 10 can. So spend money and make it better.
"Has proven indispensable in close air support " I hear that same phrase in reference to the A-10 over and over. It's GAU gun has "proven" it can take on EVERYTHING. It's ability to carry a myriad of ordinance has " proven" it can take on ANYTHING. What more does it have to prove? Ask the Marines on the ground what they think
Let The Marines Take Over Flying A-10s. A.F. doesn't want it.. I'd rather have a Marine flying overhead. Ffff John McCain for trying to Cancel A-10 Program Every Chance he Got.!!
Wonderful video. Having as many different planes allows for a greater capabilities to match the right weapon to the do the proper role for the best outcome.
The A-10 has repeatedly demonstrated its versatility and capability on the battlefield. As long as there will be boots on the ground there will be a place for the A-10 air frame. It’s wise to keep this plane relevant by keeping it’s technology current.
The AF only sees higher/faster of anything. The soldier on the ground sees what works. The F4 was awesome, but It couldn't help close in. The A1 got me out of real hard places, That the F4, which is my favorite jet had no chance. The A1 had a way of delivering effective close in firepower. Spend on the A10 and save lives of us in the ground. It could also hang around for long periods of time.
Actually is There any better savior? Look the way russians try to advance against Ukraine,If Isl There any A-10... ITS like put your boot in an ant colony

One thing that makes the A-10 shine in a close air support mission is the ability to take hits and survive. Even though it is a capable aircraft I don't think the F-35 can take nearly as much punishment and survive.
As you are already apparently aware of they have already upgraded the A-10 with new wings that require inspection at 4000 hours instead of 2000 hours. With an upgraded Electronics capability. And even though the g a u 8 Gatling is the most inaccurate weapon that it employs, I think that they should downgrade that to a 25 or 20 mm and increase its accuracy with a weapon that could easily be more effective if it were more accurate, the only thing I disagree with the A-10 is that the A-10 program that started in 1966. Was what killed the Cheyenne helicopter a weapon that could easily have displaced it. It was a long flying helicopter that could be flown by almost anybody without the electronic advancements to trim the aircraft. It was so advanced that not only was it as fast as a helicopter can theoretically go. A bit over 300 mph. About the same speed as an A-10, it can be staged closer to the action. The one failing that the A-10 has. And by the time they built the very first apache, the Cheyenne which was more capable in every way, they could have bought 3,000 Cheyenne helicopters. So it doesn't make any sense to worry about how much a program costs. You're going to replace the A10 with the F-35 attack version, which pales and capability to the A10??? I can't wait till they put that hyper velocity missile on it that the A-10 carries. Then they can shoot things from two or three hundred miles away.
I remember when we got the first C model at DM. They went out for testing and if I remember right, the driver tried to pickle the gun and it popped off the flares over the range!😂😂 We were dying after that debrief!
The A-10 needs to stay, with upgrades. We need to get off the "the more expensive, the better". Think of the Katyusha and how we can only respond with such expensive artillery. Consider that inexpensive volume is better than too-expensive-to-produce-and-maintain.
Next Version of the A-10 Warthog with stealth coating is a must! Two engines are better than one in the F-35! F-35 can still be shot down with proper ordnance!
Versatility, survivability and payload are all reason enough to keep this Swiss Army Knife in the Air Force inventory. Ask any of our ground troops whether it's worth retaining, indefinitely. If B-52's can be kept flying for nearly 70 years, there's no reason that the A-10 can't, also. It fulfills a critical niche in the AF mission that an F-35 just can't match. Technology and its adaptability to harsh conditions will only add luster to its already its impressive history.
The primary mission of the A-10 was, is, and should remain, Ground Support for the Mark-1 soldier or Marine, a job for which it was conceived and built. The infantry should have a BIG 'Say' as to the A-10's effectiveness and future. Sometimes a purpose built, Mature, and respected weapon should be kept simply because "it works". (See also Knives, Hand Grenades, and Hand-to-Hand) Sure, the A-10 may not match up to the Air Force's Whiz-bang, highly updated, stealth masked, Mach-2 push button, freshly ironed advertising and recruiting poster, but as long as the Ground Pounder's reality is face-to-face enemies, dirt, sweat, and blood, the need for steady reliable support for their initial issue Mark 1 Lives remains. The beautiful "Brrrrrrt" sound of the 30 mm canon is music to the Mark-1 ears of the soldier or Marine on the ground. The Air Force should be proud to have motivated pilots strap on an anachronistic fully loaded A-10 and truly demonstrate the meaning of Inter-Service support. D. Hegmann, SGM USA (ret)
When we were pinned down and needed cas you loved to heasr that grrrrrrrr you knit was ok to move. You can't beat the a10 for close air support what a beautiful sound the canon makes sends chills down my spine every time I'm I heard it
IF, they come up with an aircraft that can perform the same mission objectives, and, IF, they come up with engines that allow for slower to faster speeds very quickly, then they can replace it. BUT! I seriously doubt it. It is a true badass, and our enemies know if they hear the famous Bzzzzzz! They're already dead.
Its nice to hear an analysis that dares point out problems. Id heard and believed that it has accuracy problems. Some say accuracy goes to hell after 1500 feet. That seems like, why even employ the gun? 1500 hundred feet sounds impossible but i dont know. Id never thought of dropping the caliber but it is a very interesting suggestion. People get emotional about what they love. I get that. Thanks
In 2040 if we aren't using people on the ground then it has lost its purpose of close air support. That would make a pilotless or drone control f-35 one of weapons to be deployed. I'm old school and think we will always have ground troops. The A-10 with many upgrades as technology advances is the best ground support aircraft. My money is keep improving this amazing aircraft.
It is my belief, and it has been proven that the F-35 can not do anything that the A-10 is capable of. Therefore, the F-35 can not and will not replace the A-10.
Brilliant upgrades to get rid of it is poor decision making. Also if you doubt it air to ground effectiveness test it against F35 if it wins upgrade them and maintain.
The A-10 has been and will continue to be better than the F-35. More A-10 are flyable at any time more than the F-35 which has less than 50% flying at the same time
*SECRET VERSION 2025 US Super A 10 Warthog Shocked The World!*
The A-10’s survivability and power are unmatched. No wonder it's been around for decades🥰
The A-10 is a monster that destroys anything in it's path and clear any field. The A -10 is one of the most feared planes of our military and it will be called upon to help our soldiers every time.
As a retired 11-B, we need to keep the A-10 🇺🇲
I would not ever think of letting go of the A10.
A-10 is the bomb, nothing beats it's support role
I love the A-10. If it gets a modern electronics suite it's gonna be a modern contender for a bit more.
Some people say it's ugly but I don't think so it's a beautiful plane and it's great..I love the A-1
From a combat infantryman's perspective, when you hear A- 10 is on location. You know you got some help. You will live to fight another day. It's slower than most jets. This aircraft does what it is designed to do. And no other aircraft can outperform, form an effective job like. The A 10 can. So spend money and make it better.
The A10 is a trusted platform and with the new weapon system it would be a powerful addition.
The warthog is the finest fighting machine ever made
@georgejudd9215. BANG RIGHT MATE. FROM ENGLAND.
Absolutely, the upgraded A10 will be a valued piece of weaponry, especially for close air support and enemy material nuturalization.
"Has proven indispensable in close air support " I hear that same phrase in reference to the A-10 over and over. It's GAU gun has "proven" it can take on EVERYTHING.

Ffff John McCain for trying to Cancel A-10 Program Every Chance he Got.!!
Ground troops love that sound of Brrrrrtttttttt🎉🎉🎉
Military jargon "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"🎉🎉🎉
The F35 is a stand off air platform. Nothing beats the A10 in close air support. It is the best thing that ever supported close Infantry combat.
Wonderful video. Having as many different planes allows for a greater capabilities to match the right weapon to the do the proper role for the best outcome.

The A10 is most important and must be kept up to date.
Thanks!
Upgrading warthog 10 is indispensable
The F35 Will Never Equal The A10's Capability, Let Alone Replace It!
A-10 with the new upgrades
We need this proven and improved tool for modern warfare, which will always require a ground support aircraft.
Daddy always said if it isn't broke ,don't fix it
Keep the A10 in service!!!
Keep her fighting she has earned the right
A10 is greatly needed for ground support,
As long as you have air superiority it's beast
The A10 is the Pitbull of attack aircraft
A-10 All the way. Cold war to new war.
Never get rid of the A-10. It will be needed in the future.
A10c upgrade is a great thing 💪
Still one of the most important aircraft in our inventory. Dont replace it let it evolve and become superior
We have already seen and have proven that the A - 10 operated in an envelope that no other frame can
Very hard to beat!
The a-10 is a simple basic plan from... Makes it easy to add to!
I can't believe the A-10 is still relevant after all these years. The 2025 version will be a game-changer💗💗💗
Actually is There any better savior?
Look the way russians try to advance against Ukraine,If Isl There any A-10...
ITS like put your boot in an ant colony
A 10 is a flying Tank 😂😂🤫🇺🇸
I would like to see at least one Squadron of A 10 warthogs in Australia a AUSSIE SQUADRON. 😎

A-10 is keeper
Keep the A10 !!!
the A10 secret version 2025.....remains secret....
A-10 FOREVER!!!!
Wish I were younger and could fly this amazing aircraft.. Nothing like it.
Twile the F35 does some things bettervit can't touch the A10 for close air support and anti-armor capabilities.
The A10 is a keeper
One thing that makes the A-10 shine in a close air support mission is the ability to take hits and survive. Even though it is a capable aircraft I don't think the F-35 can take nearly as much punishment and survive.
The New A10 needs to contunine both with up grades and it's building. It may be slower then a f35. But it protects all ground forces.
A10 forever - all around work horse!
Upgrade and maintain the A10.
I Wish the USMC Had a Sea Version of A-10 Warthog Since It's Discontinued Their M-1 Abrams Tanks. Semper-Fi.
IT MUST BE KEPT IN FORCE TO CONTINUE HER SERVICE
Keep it and upgrade them . A lot of our many serving come home due to this mean machine and it’s a Yes UPGRADE them .
Very true!

Give the A-10 to the Army our envelope is from surface to 2,000 feet.
When you fly a warthog you what
Protect the people
The A-10 needs to stay, with upgrades. We need to get off the "the more expensive, the better". Think of the Katyusha and how we can only respond with such expensive artillery. Consider that inexpensive volume is better than too-expensive-to-produce-and-maintain.
Up grade the A-10. Ground forces needs backup. THE F-35 IS FOR AIR TO AIR AND AIR TO GROUND COMBAT. But it can't do what the A-10 is designed for.
As a leg & what little I know about air power, the A10 is a fully-loaded, versatile, piloted tank drone... Keep it, it's too special🇺🇸
Totally agree
So...where was information about the "secret version 2025 US super A-10 Warthog in this video? More clickbait.
No way!
I love marines and warships
Thanks so much!
When do they make it available to civilians? Local airport has a couple of Migs, civilians race P-51s, I've seen P-38s, Hawkers and AD1s at airshows.
Long live the A-10
When the airforce retires this plane they need to give it to the marines
No it needs to go to the Army they thought that in the late 70’s
Upgrade the A10 & develop the F35 too!
Next Version of the A-10 Warthog with stealth coating is a must! Two engines are better than one in the F-35! F-35 can still be shot down with proper ordnance!
From the first time I was seeing him.I always love that plane.I think it's a good looking plane, I don't care.What anybody says and you said mean
I traveled from Alaska with 5 A-10s to Ft Hood to try out a new missile against Black Hawks.
Versatility, survivability and payload are all reason enough to keep this Swiss Army Knife in the Air Force inventory. Ask any of our ground troops whether it's worth retaining, indefinitely.

The A-10 is best at the one thing it was designed for. Close air support.
If it doesn't need that much maintenance, keep it, if it isn't broke don't fix it, no reason to change it
A10, A10, A10, A10 all the way.
Upgrade the A-10
A variety of weapons in Your Arsenal is a good thing don't just make a whole bunch of one airplane keep on improving this one as well
The primary mission of the A-10 was, is, and should remain, Ground Support for the Mark-1 soldier or Marine, a job for which it was conceived and built.

The A29 is smaller, less expensive and can get most of the work done too.
The only ground support plane ever built, don't try to beat the best
A10 gets my vote
IF, they come up with an aircraft that can perform the same mission objectives, and, IF, they come up with engines that allow for slower to faster speeds very quickly, then they can replace it. BUT! I seriously doubt it. It is a true badass, and our enemies know if they hear the famous Bzzzzzz! They're already dead.
The B52 is still flying; it's a proven platform.
So must the A10.
Yes, you need a flying tank .
Its nice to hear an analysis that dares point out problems. Id heard and believed that it has accuracy problems. Some say accuracy goes to hell after 1500 feet.

No "SECRET VERSION 2025 US Super A 10 Warthog" shown. WOT !
It is my belief, and it has been proven that the F-35 can not do anything that the A-10 is capable of. Therefore, the F-35 can not and will not replace the A-10.
Which one can best support ground troops, that is the main concern .
Brilliant upgrades to get rid of it is poor decision making. Also if you doubt it air to ground effectiveness test it against F35 if it wins upgrade them and maintain.
Love the army anyways you guys
The A-10 has been and will continue to be better than the F-35. More A-10 are flyable at any time more than the F-35 which has less than 50% flying at the same time
Where's the the secret version?
Don't be stupid the A10 is always necessary once air superiority is attained bring in the A. 10s
It is perfect for naval warfare, can it carry torpedos?
New or Old A-10 Warthog has unequaled and unsurpassed capabilities. Some of which cannot be equaled or defeated !
Leave success alone and you have a plane that scares the He** out of our enemies! That is all!
Thats why we built a tractor beam TY thats supposed to help everyone but where they
