US Tests New
Super A-10 Warthog
The A-10 Warthog ground-attack jet, already in the process of receiving new
wings, is also set for a series of improvements including new weapons, cockpit
upgrades, helmet-mounted controls, and a laser designator pod.
The upgrade of
A-10As to A-10Cs from 2005 onwards was a huge leap for the Warthog.
The improvements
are part of the A-10 Common Fleet Initiative. The improvements include standoff
bombs that destroy enemy air defense systems at a distance, allowing the
Warthog to close in and destroy enemy tanks up close.
