The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a highly advanced single-seat, twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft designed by Fairchild-Republic in the early 1970s. The US Air Force commissioned this aircraft to provide close air support (CAS) for ground forces, and it was specifically designed to attack tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets with limited air interdiction capabilities. This aircraft is unique in that it was designed solely for close air support, making it the first of its kind in the US Air Force. The A-10's primary armament is the GAU-8 Avenger, a heavy rotary cannon that can withstand significant damage and continue to operate effectively. The aircraft's hull has been reinforced with over 1,200 pounds (540 kg) of armor, ensuring its survivability even after taking significant damage. The A-10 also incorporates protective measures that enable it to fly safely despite being damaged. The A-10's official name is derived from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt of World War II, a fighter aircraft known for its exceptional close air support capabilities. However, this aircraft is more commonly referred to as the 'Warthog' or simply 'Hog'. In addition to its primary mission, the A-10 also provides airborne forward air control, guiding other aircraft against ground targets. Aircraft used in this role are designated OA-10.
