About the actual aircraft:

The A-10 Thunderbolt II is the U.S. military's close air support and ground attack aircraft, which has been in operation since 1977.

Equipped with twin-engine engines, the main wings have a straight wing style, which is a major characteristic of this aircraft.

The underside of the wings and the fuselage have a total of 11 hard points and have the capacity to carry 7,260 kg of bombs, rockets, and missiles.

In addition, the aircraft is equipped with a GAU-8/A Avenger autocannon in the nose.

The GAU-8/A Avenger autocannon in the nose provides a high attack capability.

Improvements continued after deployment, and the A-10C, which was introduced in 2005, was modified from the A model to have a glass cockpit.

It participated in the Gulf War in 1991.

The A-10C has been highly evaluated for its high reliability and offensive capability.

Although the A-10 was not officially adopted, desert camouflage was also tested for desert operations.
