A US Air Force test showed that the A-10 attack aircraft, which is over 40 years old, can take out even modern tanks with its gun.
The air service tested the attack aircraft against main battle tank surrogates with explosive reactive armor.
The plane's GAU-8 Avenger cannon can fire around 3,900 rounds per minute.
