Also this. Any aircraft flying at relatively low altitude (or any altitude really) is in danger of effective AA stuff, don't just hate on the A-10.
Also, stealth A-10 equivalent how about that XD
i will hate on the a-10 all i want for being ugly and having the worst fanbase outside of the f-35

I mean yeah (though arguably the Iraqi military's extreme overcentralization hurt them even harder than technical inferiority). And if space aliens invaded us I'd bet their obsolete ground attack starfighters would be perfectly effective too.
Problems in iraqi command aside (can't defend the indefensible) what I'm getting at is that there's only a select few nations in the world that can plausibly plan to, you know, resist americans militarily in a capacity that doesn't involve escaping to the mountains and setting up a government in exile in some nepalese basement or, like, a decent apartment in the netherlands.

The GSh-30-2 is a far more accurate weapon
simply because it doesn't vomit out shells like an oversized MG 42.

Hmmm, I thought it was 20mm... hold on. It is 30mm I was wrong, which also means the gun is no bigger and the Russian aircraft is not special.

20mm is what all the other US fighter jets are armed with.

Besides, the only time you will use an aircraft gun these days is if you are strafing helpless missile boats or equally helpless Talibans.

One less missile boat is one less missile boats.
Ok but we also need a new AC-130 because those things are awesome. Whoever decided it was a good idea to stick a giant gun out the side of an aircraft was a genius.

I guess it gives those poor unemployed, and bored CF-18 pilots something to do in 1991's Persian Gulf.

Yes, the Harrier and F-35 use a 25mm cannon.

That's nonsense. A fleet of drones:
A: Takes the manned portion out of the equation.
B: Carries far more potent PGM's.
C: Has a modern ECM system.
D: Flies at 30,000 feet.
None of which a Brazilian turboprop could do.
^This. Everyone should be paying attention to how the Turks and now Azeris have utilized drone warfare as close air support and fire concentration platforms. They are changing the game and basically turning cheap drones into flying artillery, it's going to be mad.

The test was rerun on the insistence of the officer, firing the RPG from further away. The result was catastrophic for the Bradley: the Bradley was annihilated, all of the hatches were blown out, and the test dummies inside were blown out too.
It is fun that the movie references that specific incident that happened, albeit in a far more outlandish way.
just saw this.
was this the old version before they unfucked it
