Affectionately nicknamed the "A-10 Warthog" for its aggressive appearance and often painted with teeth on the nose cone, the A-10 Thunderbolt II is the United States Air Force's closest high-altitude small air support aircraft. The A-10 is best known for its fearsome nose mounted GAU-8 Avenger 30mm gatling gun. The GAU-8 is designed to fire armor-piercing reduced chemical and high-explosive incendiary rounds.

The A-10 Thunderbolt II has excellent maneuverability at low and high airspeeds, and is a very accurate weapon delivery and survivability platform. The aircraft can hover near war zones for long periods of time and operate in low-margin and visibility conditions. The wide combat radius and short takeoff and landing capability enable operations in and out of locations close to the front lines. Using night vision goggles, A-10 pilots can carry out their missions in the dark.

Thunderbolt IIs have Night Vision Imaging Systems, or NVIS, a goggle-compatible single-seat cockpit forward of their wings and a large balloon canopy that provides pilots with all-around vision. The pilots are protected by titanium armor that also protects parts of the flight control system. The main structural parts that allow the aircraft to enjoy better survivability during close air support than the previous aircraft. The aircraft can survive direct hits from anti-tank weapons and high explosives up to 23mm. Self-contained fuel cells are protected by foam inside and out. Manual systems support hydraulic flight control systems without them. This allows pilots to fly and land when hydraulic power is lost.
The A-10 "Warthog" has received many upgrades over the years. In 1978, the aircraft received the Pave Penny laser receiver pod, which senses visible laser radiation from a laser generator. Pave Penney has been discontinued in favor of more powerful progressive pods. The A-10 began receiving an inertial navigation system in 1980. Later, the Small Target and Defense Enhancement (LAST) provided a computer-aided missile, aircraft, and ground attack warning system.
In 1999, the airline began to receive Global Positioning System navigation systems and a new multi-function display. In 2005, the entire A-10 fleet began receiving Standard Control upgrades which included an improved fire control system, electronic gauges, updated cockpit displays, the ability to deploy smart bombs , moving map display, hands on pump and stick, digital store management. , LITENING and Sniper have improved targeting, situational awareness data link or SADL, variable message format, or VMF, GPS guided weapons, and DC power enhancement. The entire fleet of A-10s has undergone a precision engagement modification and now carries the designation A-10C.
Thunderbolt II can be operated and operated from austere bases with limited resources close to war zones. Most aircraft parts are left and right, including engines, main landing gear and vertical stabilizers. Avionics applications include multi-band communications; Global Positioning System and inertial navigation systems; infrared and electronic countermeasures against air-to-air and air-to-surface threats. And, it has a head-up display to show information about the aircraft and the delivery of weapons.

The first production A-10A was delivered to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., in October 1975. Upgraded A-10C marked the beginning of operational power in September 2007. Special design for support with - close air, its - a large and diverse collection of books. Payload, long duration, accurate weapon delivery, austere space capability, and survivability have proven to be important to the United States and its allies.
