Man you Air Force weapons loaders have it easy with all the GSE loading equipment, Did the exact same job in the US Navy on f-18 hornets Aviation Ordnance . We hand loaded all weapons under 1000lbs fleet load it was called, Great video as well !

They loading the A-10 with US Freedom and Democracy

[richdillon]

Such a badass weapons system ground troops love the support

[BeefSupreme]

Expect the phrase "the flying boom method or probe and drogue" in every uploads.

usa soilders~~~ respect!!!! korean and usa joint

Whoa... A10 has cryo-ox? learn something new everyday

[TacticalTightwad]

@3:45 I highly doubt that the A-10C has a 12, 000 lb Titanium bathtub. More like 1, 200 lbs (540 kg.)

Video great. Information awesome. Music creepy AF.

The A-10 is not beautiful but it is effective and practical on the battlefield. Poor those guys sitting in tanks on the ground when this Aircraft shows up in the sky. The Maverick missile strikes like Death Itself!!🇺🇸💀☠️

i wonder, would the pilots give up a center hardpoint to add the equal amount of weight in gun ammo as an "add on" magazine reload for the gun?

[SuperScottCrawford]

When I was little and assembled a model of the A-10, I thought the name of it was pronounced "War-Thog".
Because, you know, it was a Thog of War.

Такие бы ракеты и самолёты, да на Донбасс украинцам дать, что бы они отчистили свои земли от сепаратистской нечести.

Great to see the EA6B feature. I was a fire control technician on the A6. The EA6B used the airframe of the A6. The A6 Intruders were great aircraft, the only at the time that could be flown in most any weather conditions and navigate any terrain! Can you do a segment on the A6 Intruder?

[davidwolf]

I'm curious as to why you're profiling the EA-6B since it was retired 2 years ago. That role is now conducted by the EA-18G Growler.

Gather a gaggle of those mechanics a gaggle of those pilots and gaggle of engineers and revision an improved model.

There A LOT of inaccuracies about the A-10 in this video

[lonesoldierix]

The biggest problem of this aircraft is "CoM is under the CoT " . This means that aircraft can't carry big diameter weapons. USA will retired this in 3 years.

"----responsible for any weapon related responsibilities" Jesus who wrote this shit?

[gmsniperx]

Imagine the guy accidentally dropping a live bomb. ( it's just a joke, don't take it seriously!)

A-10s a nice plane, but can it survive SAMs?
