I could just sit and watch A-10 tasking all day.

The A-10 doing what it does best. A remarkable display of firepower.

3:03 The amount of ricochets make it sound like the shot was edited in post production in some sound design studio -- but nope, all beautiful, raw sounds.

Such destructive force, feels good man xD
I especially love this fact with the GAU avenger : "If you hear the it wasn't for you."

[paulsmodels]

3:48 if what made the water splash hit someone in the face, it'd really fuck their day up.

Every time an AGM-65 is fired the lanyard must be retrieved because of the gold it contains.

[warthy]

doew anybody have an idea of where exactly in the NTTR this footage was recorded ?

[rosen]

jesus! they just blip into view and wham! everything is gone. I literally ducked when the semi got cratered 😂

[Tattlebot]

Ahh, they should've used high SPL microphones.

[ellisd]

True Lies undersold the effectiveness for sure
