Despite its extensive armor and armament. the A-10 is highly maneuverable. which is particularly important to overcome enemy anti-aircraft fire. The Thunderbolt (also called “Warthog”) was practically built around its remarkable 30 mm gun. the GAU-8. which can perforate tank armor with its special high-performance ammunition. The aircraft was widely used during the Gulf War. where it successfully destroyed a few hundred Iraqi vehicles with minimum losses despite the heavy enemy defense of conventional and missile firepower.
