When I was a kid I wanted to be a fighter pilot. I grew up, served in the Navy (enlisted), and then went to school. Eventually got myself a pilot's license and a plane. Now that I'm older, I'm like "I have a regret: I should have tried to be an A10 pilot." So badass.

In the VA hospitals, patients can get model kits to build. I was an avid modeler and lived building models of military tanks & planes. One day, I found the brand new A-10 model and built it, then spent nights custom painting & detailing it. The other patients & doctors loved looking at my model jobs because I made them look like real life. After reading up on the A-10 I decided on a 2 model display. I built a Soviet tank and detailed it to reassemble one during a gun run on the tank by the A-10. I spent weeks on it. I had 100s of people following it. In the end, it showed the A-10 firing, & the tank getting hit and starting to explode. I figure it cost me about $100. in materials & paints etc. I had worked on all the parts to the display separately. When I did the final assembly for display, it took up a 8 x 3 foot table. All I can say is that I detailed the hell out of every little thing. The 20mm gun was coming in firing, the tank, ground, trees & enemy troops were all hit. No one was fully prepared for the final display. All the veterans just thought it was cool as hell and loved all the realistic details. The doctors & nurses were a little blown away by the violent destructive realistic details. Guess all the miniature enemy soldiers blown to pieces and shredded ground & trees & tank etc were just a bit too real for them. They made me disassemble it all. The Vets booed them. We talked about it in groups for weeks. I gave the display to a veterans group that liked it.
30mm. Man, as a disabled veteran who spent 15 years being a crew cheif on warthogs, I want a model! Our VA hospital doesn't have anything like this. They genuinely hate veterans. They only care about you if you identify as trans.
@@nightshadehelis9821 I'm very sorry to hear that. I 1st started going to the old Navy hospital VA back in the early 1970s. Back then, people & groups would send models of tanks, planes, cars etc and other art kits for veterans in the hospital. There were 1,000s of Nam vets there. I had the great honor of meeting some of America's greatest fighters from the US Army, Marines. Many of their records were just about completely blacked out. To me, building the models was a way of honoring the men who fought in them. When I would start painting them & adding realistic small touches. Other vets would stop and point things out. I would always incorporate whatever they said to me into the model I was working on. Little things, the color of the sliding door rails on a UH-1 after they are worn down. Bullet holes, cracked windshields, schrapenal damage on the side of a tank. When a model was being detailed, I might have 20 other vets giving me ideas and stuff. I stopped going to the hospital in the 1990. By then, things were starting to change. The WW2 & Korean War vets started passing away. When they were gone, things really changed. All the old honor was gone. The Nam vets were still pissed off, then the government started up another 20+ year set of wars in the middle east. The government screwed those vets over too. Now, look at the state of our country. With no honor, there is no respect. Respect is earned, not given away. We need more honor & respect from out leaders. They have lost thier way.
I was a US Air Force weather guy for 20+ years, stationed from 1977-1980 at RAF Woodbridge. While I was there, we converted from the F-4 to the A-10, the very first NATO base with them. I provided gunnery range support for the A-10's, when they did their practice runs. The very first run, the first A-10 took out the target, and all of the supporting equipment. Concrete, metal, EVERYTHING. They had to re-design the entire range. A year later, I went to Moscow, and was approached by the KGB, or more likely, the GRU, whatever, and was grilled pretty hard on the A-10. They wanted crew rest times, loiter times, maintenance down times, just lots of crap. Dunno, dunno, dunno. Straight up true. I bragged about the plane, a LOT, and said that the USAF command staff expected each A-10 to account for 100+ Soviet vehicles in a war. Total bullshit..I had not idea what the expectations were..I was a weatherguy. Sure did freak out the GRU, as my base and our sister base RAF Bentwaters had a total of 120 of these bad boys.

And like that he was gone." - Verbal Kent
Every damn video, some one gotta say” if you hear the BRRRTT you’re not the target”. I mean, say something new, just for once, something different like “ if you were the target you wouldn’t have heard the BRRRTT”.
Brass: "The F-35 will be replacing the A-10 in the role of close air support" AFTER the 1st downing of the first close air support F-35: "Effective immediately the A-10's will be resuming their previously successful close air support role".
@17ll3 x214 Not 'entirely' true. As long as there are interceptors and air superiority fighters flying top cover, then the A-10 is, for the most part, free to make it's runs as it pleases due to the high durability and cheap cost. By comparison, due to the high costs of the F-35, they will not be able to operate until the air is fully in allied hands, thus making close ground support options nearly out of the question for our tankers and infantry. The A-10 is cheap enough and sturdy enough to fly into a kill zone (with top cover support that is), hit it's targets while taking fire, and get home while the top cover engages the enemy. The A-10 does NOT need there to be full allied control of the airspace.
ThunderChief666 the only threats to an aircraft aren’t always in the air. For instance, Air Defenses, like SAMS, MANPADS, or just AAA from a competent enemy may be enough to warrant CAS from a different platform, even with SEAD, and Air Superiority.
We had a few of these do runs when I was serving in Afghan. Ultimate wrath of god type noise! For the love of god America do NOT retire these battle winning aircraft. From your British brother in arms
They can't, or they would have already been doing it. The A-10 is unique in its loiter capability, slow speed maneuvering, and load capacity. It was built to do this and there is literally no other plane like it. The only thing that comes close is the Super Tucano, and the AF doesn't like it because it's not sexy enough and not expensive enough.
@@tudorg22 you obviously have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, the a10 survivability is second to none, it can carry more weapons on more pylons than any other aircraft. The fact you tried to put the f22 raptor which is an air superiority fighter in the same category as an A10 close air ground support aircraft just shows you've no clue.

Wrong, if you're the target you would be long dead before you'd hear the sound. You'd just be filled with holes thinking "What in the fuck just happened?" if you were still alive after being hit by it.
@@PiousSlayer Bruh. The last thing you *never* heard. OP made a witty tag line for the GAU 8 and you missed it. Also, if even one 30mm explosive incendiary from that cannon hits a man ...well, that ammunition blows people into slop meat.
@@andrewrobertson3894 Shit, I misread it on my phone. Oh well. I know if you get hit by its shells it's very unlikely you'd survive, if anything is even left of you. In the rare case that you do survive for a moment before dying that'd most likely be your final thought. The GAU 8 Avenger is a beautiful, beautiful piece of machinery that will always be useful to some capacity. I really hope they don't wind up retiring the air craft and find ways to upgrade it so it can continue its amazing service. It's such a huge morale booster for soldiers on the ground and it has an iconic sound from the rounds impacting the ground and then the BRRRRT that follows.
It’s so wild how you see and hear the rounds before you hear the sound of the gun. I would so love to buy that guy hollering a couple of drinks. I just love how he sounds when those rounds hit. 😂😂😂 Thank you guys for keeping us safe and being the professionals you are.
love watching combat footage hearing our US soldiers laughing & hollering amidst the fire fight, almost brings tear to your eye that they're able to laugh like that during all the chaos
Fun Fact: General Electric, aka the same company that makes Washing Machines, Toasters and Refrigerators, also makes the machine gun that goes on the A-10 Warthog. It’s called the GAU-8 Avenger, look it up.
For the uninformed the sizzle you hear when the rounds first hit is the Depleted Uranium tips, the head superheats as its going faster than the speed of sound, its designed to go through tanks, and will suck a body right out the hole. Or when used on brush it doesn't even need to hit you, the vortex it creates will kill you as well. Also for those who don't know the plane has to shoot in short bursts because the power of the gun will slow down the plane, also it will melt the barrel if used too long. They fly so low that the planes come back with lots of holes in them, so the pilot flies in a gigantic Titanium tub.
The vortex and sucksd out the hole for overdressed are false. The uranium is super dense so it forms the core of the munitions, allowing it to penetrate more deeply, before the casing of the the round is stripped away. DU explodes in contact with air sending shards of itself deep into gear and tissue and it is highly toxic. Definitely a terrifying munition
@@siegehammer63 I’ve been in the field with a10’s in combat, in the war. So basically I have better than normal information than most people, and have seen firsthand with my own eyes what this vehicle can do to humans and tanks. I’ve seen the bloody pile of former human beings shot by this plane and seen what it can do. I’ve seen a Bradley hit a pickup truck with a single round, cut the guy in it in half, blow him out the passenger window and rip off his arm and engulf him in flames, then drop him off about 10 feet away to bleed and burn to death. So tell me again about how you are more informed than me.
@@AndrewP-fj8rn easy to verify if you’re interested. It is fact and I have seen it firsthand in the war. There was a sniper who killed two guys who were calling in mortar attacks by shooting in between their two heads, the vortex of the round ripped them apart. Maybe in the future speak from a position of actual intelligence instead of ignorance.
I remember watching these bad boys tear up Iraqi armor during Desert Storm. We saw a lot more AH-1 Cobras than anything though. Kind of strange, since we deployed out of Germany and thought we were the cutting edge. We didn't get desert uniforms until 2 weeks before we flew back to Germany.
_They just sprayed some 30mm Armor Piercing round designed for anti tank purposes to some random mobs_ *Welp it's an ground troops support aircraft so it can't be helped*
How nice of my fellow Americans, their forecasting another round of rain!!!! God bless them boys for sending the rain on America's enemies!!!!💪💪👊👊👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍✌✌

The only aircraft that provides air support and emotional support

AMEN brotha
It depends on the side you are fighting with
I need a t shirt that says "this is my emotional support aircraft"
The delay between the impact and the "brrrt" is so scary, the saying "if you hear it, it wasnt for you" really makes sense to me now
So is the initial fire cracker noises you hear the impact, and that short low pitch "brr" the sound from the gun itself?
@@wiskyr6510 yes

You know what's cool? That's not too far from the truth, the Goalkeeper CIWS is based off the same gun.
@@cmj115 Therefore A-10 is eternal
One of the most badass things I've ever heard about the A10: "If an A10 was hunting you, you'd never know it"
What's the worst thing you can hear as an enemy combatant after an A10 just strafed your position?
"Here comes his buddy"
“Why are they shooting at trees?”

No moar napalm tho

@@talleywa5772 why not have bullets filled with napalm then we can have both.
@@phalanx3803 well they're using high explosive rounds. So that's close enough.

Yup. Pretty much summed it up, well said.
And the great part is you can come on over and join in.

The American BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT- A Self Telling Tale
Golden rule: If hear the beautiful BRRRTT you are not the target
yet
@@joeligma2971 *huh*
@Winged_Hunter256 Is the speed of sound faster than the speed of light in countries other than the U.S.?
Winged_Hunter256 the bullets hit the target before you even here the brrrr so if you hear it you’ve survived
Every damn video, some one gotta say” if you hear the BRRRTT you’re not the target”. I mean, say something new, just for once, something different like “ if you were the target you wouldn’t have heard the BRRRTT”.
Its been 10 years and still stays one of the best A10 videos i come back to... 😎☁️
That loud fart sound is the A10 firing that 30MM cannon. USAF🇺🇸
Air Force: “you gotta be responsible with the aircraft”
Those guys: “mmmmm plane go BRRRRRRRRR”
Brass: "The F-35 will be replacing the A-10 in the role of close air support"
AFTER the 1st downing of the first close air support F-35: "Effective immediately the A-10's will be resuming their previously successful close air support role".
I sincerely hope that the A-10s will continue service by the time I can join the Air Force.
@@notblake8617 Good news! The A10 is a platform now and will be getting upgrades to ensure future service!
@@DorkAndFriends its still accepted that the F-35 will eventually replace the A-10 but for now its getting modernized
@17ll3 x214 Not 'entirely' true. As long as there are interceptors and air superiority fighters flying top cover, then the A-10 is, for the most part, free to make it's runs as it pleases due to the high durability and cheap cost. By comparison, due to the high costs of the F-35, they will not be able to operate until the air is fully in allied hands, thus making close ground support options nearly out of the question for our tankers and infantry. The A-10 is cheap enough and sturdy enough to fly into a kill zone (with top cover support that is), hit it's targets while taking fire, and get home while the top cover engages the enemy. The A-10 does NOT need there to be full allied control of the airspace.
ThunderChief666 the only threats to an aircraft aren’t always in the air. For instance, Air Defenses, like SAMS, MANPADS, or just AAA from a competent enemy may be enough to warrant CAS from a different platform, even with SEAD, and Air Superiority.
I honestly dont know why I tear up every time I hear an a-10 and its gun sound. Absolutely beautiful
Because if a pair swooped in a saved your ass, those tears be justified 😉👍
Because it's the sound of Freedom, and freedom is a tearjerker.
@@SPFLDAngler Dang, I was going to post the exact same thing! 👍
I would tear up if I were a ground soldier knowing that sound probably saved my life
That gun would be good for stopping home invaders, even on the next block over!
Listening to this with headphones is fu*king terrifying lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
We had a few of these do runs when I was serving in Afghan. Ultimate wrath of god type noise! For the love of god America do NOT retire these battle winning aircraft. From your British brother in arms
Thanks for your service Brit much love to y'all from overseas 👊
Thank you for your service from a brother in 🇺🇸.
tbh any f-16, f-18, f-22 or f-35 could do this, most likeyl even better
They can't, or they would have already been doing it. The A-10 is unique in its loiter capability, slow speed maneuvering, and load capacity. It was built to do this and there is literally no other plane like it. The only thing that comes close is the Super Tucano, and the AF doesn't like it because it's not sexy enough and not expensive enough.
@@tudorg22 you obviously have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, the a10 survivability is second to none, it can carry more weapons on more pylons than any other aircraft. The fact you tried to put the f22 raptor which is an air superiority fighter in the same category as an A10 close air ground support aircraft just shows you've no clue.
This is the most American thing I’ve ever seen.
Was literally about to say that 😂
I think you mean it's the most patriotic thing. To be American these days, you need to be morbidly obese, have purple hair, and no functional reproductive organs.
@@WASTED__POTENTIAL You just described an urban libtard wannabe communist...not an American.
@@pkmkb007 unfortunately, the line is becoming blurred.
@@WASTED__POTENTIAL I would still say checkout the crowd at the anti-police, antifa and recently BLM rallies. Many of them look like what you described. The opposite crowd is not like that atleast not the majority of them.
Listening to these guys hooting hollerin like theyre at a rock concert laughing with their brothers made me smile
"Those are palm trees, you can make oil out of it"
"Did you say *oil?"*
Naw I heard oil! That shit is mine!
There's no oil in Afghanistan, also it's not worth it to steal oil from half way across the planet, bring it to the USA, refine it and use/sell it. It costs more to do that than you would get from it.

Us army after the Vietnam war:
"All trees are to be considered hostile"
All I want to do in life is say to an A-10 pilot “you’re cleared hot”
all i want is to hear that from a JTAC...
commander: did you fire on the target yet?
pilot: affirmative
commander: ok i just heard it
Once you've heard the brrrrrrrt in person, you are forever changed! It's glorious!
the most iconic sound in all of aviation, the "BRRRRRRRRRRRT"
That sound is so amazing.
Enless your on the business end
I don’t think you hear it from that end lol
I love that sound to
Yes
BRRRRRRRRRT
A10: the last thing you never heard.
Nice.
Wrong, if you're the target you would be long dead before you'd hear the sound. You'd just be filled with holes thinking "What in the fuck just happened?" if you were still alive after being hit by it.
@@PiousSlayer Bruh. The last thing you *never* heard. OP made a witty tag line for the GAU 8 and you missed it. Also, if even one 30mm explosive incendiary from that cannon hits a man ...well, that ammunition blows people into slop meat.
@@andrewrobertson3894
Shit, I misread it on my phone. Oh well.
I know if you get hit by its shells it's very unlikely you'd survive, if anything is even left of you. In the rare case that you do survive for a moment before dying that'd most likely be your final thought.
The GAU 8 Avenger is a beautiful, beautiful piece of machinery that will always be useful to some capacity. I really hope they don't wind up retiring the air craft and find ways to upgrade it so it can continue its amazing service. It's such a huge morale booster for soldiers on the ground and it has an iconic sound from the rounds impacting the ground and then the BRRRRT that follows.
@@andrewrobertson3894 turns them into people jelly, as donut operator so kindly puts it
I was fortunate top hear the A-10 rip the sky apart back some 35 years ago. It is something that you never forget.
@Kathleen Shaw Amazing stuff. Thanks for sharing that.
1:02 i have no idea what that guy says i think its “I HEAR THE BRRRT” but it feels me with joy everytime lol
It’s so wild how you see and hear the rounds before you hear the sound of the gun.
I would so love to buy that guy hollering a couple of drinks. I just love how he sounds when those rounds hit. 😂😂😂
Thank you guys for keeping us safe and being the professionals you are.
When you call in a gun run on a tree
In a kill or be killed situation I'm pretty sure I would be happy to live wouldn't you,
That fucker was working with the enemy. 😂

best fking ground attack airplane ever!!! i was an engine mechanic on them from 1979 to 1983! best airplane ever!!! i love it to this day!!
In brrt we trust
Amen
...and Ernie?
It's amazing how you see and hear the shots hit their target, before you hear the shots being fired.
To this day, when warthog pilots break wind in the car they instinctively lean and do a hard turn immediately.
when aussies tell americans " theres a bloody big drop bear in that tree " !
Hopefully a Russian supplied bear..
@@brianjschumer lol you dont know what a drop bear is , haha
Imagine if they had A-10s during the Emu War
What's a drop bear?

The B52 will be flying for almost 100years. Why the design is timeless. So is the A10.
love watching combat footage hearing our US soldiers laughing & hollering amidst the fire fight, almost brings tear to your eye that they're able to laugh like that during all the chaos
Fun Fact: General Electric, aka the same company that makes Washing Machines, Toasters and Refrigerators, also makes the machine gun that goes on the A-10 Warthog. It’s called the GAU-8 Avenger, look it up.
See some folks used to think an Uzi was something. Nope.
A-10 best value yet for taxpayers money. Well F-18 Hornet.
An uzi is just a handheld A‐10
Video: **Shows clip of actual war**
Comments: *"Haha A-10 go Brrrrrrrr"*
literally
i love how they get so excited when the brrrrrrt comes. so wholesome
Taliban after an A-10 attack is wholesome without the W
For the uninformed the sizzle you hear when the rounds first hit is the Depleted Uranium tips, the head superheats as its going faster than the speed of sound, its designed to go through tanks, and will suck a body right out the hole. Or when used on brush it doesn't even need to hit you, the vortex it creates will kill you as well. Also for those who don't know the plane has to shoot in short bursts because the power of the gun will slow down the plane, also it will melt the barrel if used too long. They fly so low that the planes come back with lots of holes in them, so the pilot flies in a gigantic Titanium tub.
The vortex and sucksd out the hole for overdressed are false. The uranium is super dense so it forms the core of the munitions, allowing it to penetrate more deeply, before the casing of the the round is stripped away. DU explodes in contact with air sending shards of itself deep into gear and tissue and it is highly toxic. Definitely a terrifying munition
@@siegehammer63 I’ve been in the field with a10’s in combat, in the war. So basically I have better than normal information than most people, and have seen firsthand with my own eyes what this vehicle can do to humans and tanks. I’ve seen the bloody pile of former human beings shot by this plane and seen what it can do. I’ve seen a Bradley hit a pickup truck with a single round, cut the guy in it in half, blow him out the passenger window and rip off his arm and engulf him in flames, then drop him off about 10 feet away to bleed and burn to death. So tell me again about how you are more informed than me.
Thats a load of rubbish about the vortex and sucking bodys through holes. Sounds good. Total crock.
@@AndrewP-fj8rn easy to verify if you’re interested. It is fact and I have seen it firsthand in the war. There was a sniper who killed two guys who were calling in mortar attacks by shooting in between their two heads, the vortex of the round ripped them apart. Maybe in the future speak from a position of actual intelligence instead of ignorance.
Kittens purring, doves cooing, a sportscar motor idling, waves landing on-shore....and the brrrr of an A10 gun. What a sweet sound.
Very few things make me giggle but this sound is definitely one
Best military plane ever built in my humble opinion.... Grunts would agree
It's a good party but when you bust out the fireworks at 0:58, it becomes a great party.
gives me chills when I see our boys and girls get hyped when they get air support!
I love that gun, but you'd only see or hear about it in low tech missions where the target likely only has an ak-47 to shoot back.
Trees that run are Taliban. Trees that don't run, are well-disciplined Taliban.
😂 lol
If you live to hear the gun . Thank yourself you're on its team.
Legend says that if you hear the brrrt, you weren’t the target.
I remember watching these bad boys tear up Iraqi armor during Desert Storm. We saw a lot more AH-1 Cobras than anything though. Kind of strange, since we deployed out of Germany and thought we were the cutting edge. We didn't get desert uniforms until 2 weeks before we flew back to Germany.
Man has dogs, infantry has the warthogs. 🤝
I wouldn’t want be at the receiving end of that “Brrrrrrt”! The Hand of God!
You would already be dead before you hear the brrrrt.
_They just sprayed some 30mm Armor Piercing round designed for anti tank purposes to some random mobs_
*Welp it's an ground troops support aircraft so it can't be helped*
it has HE and AP bullets for different missions
It also has an HEI belt. Tho even thay one has 76mm of penetration so it is still armor piercing capable.
i mean those mobs are level 60 elites so

Oh, excuse me,.......burrito for lunch today.
They call us the chair force, but when the A10s come, they think differently.
I was Infantry. After that I went Chair Borne. My feet thanked me.
Ummm..I was a weather guy in the Air Force, for 20+ years active duty. The biggest danger I was ever in was from paper cuts.
I would've felt so secure hearing this sound in the battlefield
0:33 damn the dude flying that thing must feel like the most powerful human on the planet
Right during prayer time :) the gun angrier then usual
How nice of my fellow Americans, their forecasting another round of rain!!!! God bless them boys for sending the rain on America's enemies!!!!💪💪👊👊👏

Fun fact: The A-10’s cannon- the GAU-8 Avenger -produces 6 tons of recoil. Each engine of the A-10 produces 4 tons of thrust.
I bet the A10 drivers hardly ever have to buy their own drinks If infantry guys are in the bar. Best impression of god passing gas and the end result done by humanity.
A10 gun is the sound of Satan's rage.
