About the A-10A Thunderbolt II:
Its first production version flying in October 1975, the Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is primarily a Close Air Support (CAS) aircraft used for attacking ground targets. It was distinctive in being the first USAF aircraft to be designed specifically for the CAS role. Its primary weapon is the 30mm GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling gun, which fires depleted uranium shells at a rate of up to 3,900 rounds per minute. The A-10 is more commonly referred to as the Warthog, or simply Hog.
