US A-10 Pilots Extreme Techniques to Hit Target With Crazy Accuracy

Thumbs up for the brave men and women who are standing on the right side of history. Love from Iran.♥️

Did someone say BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT

If you love the A-10 (like I do) you can purchase all the equipment the pilot is using at 1:38. The simulator he's using is the professional version of a civilian available VR capable simulator called Digital Combat Simulator, or DCS. The stick and throttles he's using are the Thrustmaster Warthog, also available on the civilian market. It's a blast, highly recommended!

As always, thoroughly enjoy these videos.

A 10 сила , к сржалению здоровья нехватат уже из за возроста , вы ребята молодцы!

@1:29 Nice to see DCS A10C in action with our very own MilesD's Pointctrl in action!

Awesome power and agility makes us tactically dominant. This aircraft and pilots are above and beyond expectations. MY HEROES!

As a former USAF SSgt, I thoroughly enjoy these videos that promote the capabilities of Air Force equipment. Go Air Force!

With a Combat Controller directing the fire, very accurate!

As a Marine infantry platoon commander in Vietnam 1968-69, there were no A-10's. We received close air support from F-4 and A-6 planes. I did not have a forward air controller to call in close air support, I could only contact the pilot on an FM frequency and do my best to describe where our position was relative to the enemy. For a pilot in a jet that is incredibly difficult when looking down at a jungle with no real terrain features. I'd pop like red smoke to identify my position but then the enemy would pop red smoke as well. it took time to describe which red smoke was ours and which was the enemy's.. Sometimes the company would have a Forward Air Controller or FAC. He was a pilot that could talk pilot sh*t with the plot to get ordinance on target. But pilots were not attached down to the platoon level and so me trying to call in a close air support was difficult in the terrain we were in. We had good close close air support in Vietnam, but only God knows why. All I had was an out of date French map and a compass. Knowing where we were was a challenge for me and an even bigger challenge for the pilot using a different map and avionic compass in his plane. I would have given my right arm for GPS and precision guided bombs and artillery back then.

All awesome aircraft. Each one has a place in my heart.

THIS PLANE IS LEGENDARY AND HAS SAVED MANY LIVES IN COMBAT. It is designed specifically as a troop support on the battle field. The ONLY PLANE that is designed to aid troops in jungle warfare, and for the destruction of armored personnel/tanks. The engines and robust design, aid in the success for ground troop support in battle. What a well designed plane! Thanks for the video 📸.

I was an AT in the Navy during the 80s, and the capabilities of modern RADAR and targeting pods like the TGP were just not there yet. They still used technology from the 60s in many places. There was even one piece of gear that dated back to the 50s which was still actively used in the fleet at the time. I know TDR was working on some cool things at the time. We had one piece of gear that was destined for the H-60s which were just being introduced to the fleet at the time. It was a graphical display of the battle field based on telemetry data. It showed things like sonobouy locations, last contact, and even location of downed airmen in the case of rescue. It was very advanced for the time. Now I fly DCS and between the A-10C II and the F-18 the capabilities are amazing. I don't fly the Eagle as much - even though I do have the DLC.

That BRRT is simultaneously the greatest and scariest sound you could ever hear, depending on which side of the gun you are. Of course I'm not talking about who the gun is pointing at directly. Those guys never hear a thing.

Wow.. . .so really great amazing.

My Pride and Joy in our Air Force, You make my Heart sing! 😍

A-10’s are bad ass!

I love seeing that these guys are using DCS as part of their training! It is a testament to how accurate the DCS modeling is.

It is interesting to note that the special advisor when designing the A-10 was "Hans Rudel", a former Ju87 (Stuka) Nori in the Nazi Luftwaffe LOL. He made a lot of mistakes, actually flew the aircraft and finally gave the OK for the current model. I was also a former Japanese Air Self-Defence Force officer and I think the A-10 is a great aircraft. A-10設計時のスペシャルアドバイザーが、元ナチスドイツ空軍のJu87（スツーカ）ノリの「ハンス・ルーデル」さんだったって事が面白いですLOL 彼が何度もダメ出しして、実際に操縦もして最終的にOKをだしたのが今の型です 私も元日本の航空自衛官でしたが、A-10は素晴らしい機体だと思います。

A 10 is a TANK that flys... thanks guys and gals
