The A-10 Thunderbolt II was developed by Fairchild Republic in the 1970s with the aim of creating a powerful aircraft capable of conducting close air support missions - including attacking tanks and armored vehicles.
The Thunderbolt II is heavily armored and exceptionally robust.
It features two General Electric turbofan engines and the introduction of one of the most powerful aircraft cannons ever flown: the 30 mm GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling cannon.
Thanks to its eleven underwing and fuselage stations, the A-10 can carry an impressive attack payload.
It was first used in combat during the 1991 Gulf War and demonstrated operational effectiveness in destroying more than 900 enemy tanks.
