Too many people over thinking this obviously the A-10 would follow after Air Defense supression from SEAD and DEAD strikes but in order to keep the video short and sweet and to the point we didnt show the whole run up to the A-10 run
Please what game is this

I was waiting for this and it was great.
You make it seem like a cakewalk for the Ukrainian pilots over there though.
I like your somewhat answer devildog, I know sir what a devil dog is,ohrah
An attack pilot's fantasy come true. In fact, that would be the fantasy of 155mm artillery and MLRS crews, as well.
A fantasy of a lowly recruit all the way to the high command
aahh the comments of people who have never been to war :)) Every time we got called up to support i was saying over and over again this is shit.
@@alexsp7086 Wet Dreams ,-) and all that stranded personal is on Vodka too too drunk to use some manpad or let some AA asat in the convoi still be active either .Ignoring the fact that this wouldnt work out that way if asats like A10 would be in the Area. You dont need a vid to know what cluster do to a parking lot ,-).
and just about every machine gunner in history..
@@OksmanTV Highway of death? You mean the Iraqi retreating line? They were literally firing on coalition forces as they retreated. If they didn't want to die they should have surrendered like so many thousands of their comrades.

As a USAF aircraft mechanic, the only feeling of mission accomplished and satisfaction I will get is Seeing the A10 come back empty
YUP! Seeing the A-10 RETURN "safely" after a mission is the support teams HIGH 5 !
@@jtc1947 Safely? I heard one dude landed his A-10 with 1 wing, 1 engine left and more than half his tail shot to pieces, and it was just another day for him. If that story is true those aircraft are nucking futs.

IYAOYAS
That first bombing run absolutely fucked the majority of that convoy. Holy shit
Murica!
I hope this happens for real haha. It would be risky because of the anti air shit but man if they get off even half of that Russia would have to start seriously considering packing up and going home. Everyday they stall them the harder things get and needless to say, a cluster strike on the first km of vehicles, especially when they can’t go off road due to the marshes, would being adding some time to out it mildly haha
Unrealistic since there's no active helicopter patrolling with an Air to Air missile plus point AA defense provided by Tunguska and Pantsir
@@haikalhadzik7744 The AA the russian soldiers abandoned? I'm sure it's useful...lol

Lol OMG
That would be the break in our simulation.
They’ll be fine, everyone knows that A-10s (“A tInS”-smart grammar correction hardware) are stocked with an RTX 3080
Hahaha
So annoying to know that if Ukraine had invested more in their airforce they could of done this..
Nice video dude. A-10 pilot here. I actually did this two weeks ago (with CBU-105 on the UTTR). So, I can confirm that it works. You could't carry as many WCMD cans vs legacy CBU, but you get the point. Also, after the wings were cleaned off you sill got a lot of 30mm and with PAC off you get some good effects (ask the convoy of ISIS near Fallujah in 2016) I'll have to set this up in my simulator (the big one at work, lol) and see if it has the same results as your DCS simulation. Attack!!
As someone who's actually used a 105 do you think the damage modelling is even remotely close in DCS vs real life? This video shows a test of a 105 and whilst it's hard to be sure there appears to be no penetration of this M48 despite at least 6 hits from 4 seperate bombs........I realise that the M48 will have no fuel and ammo so will not "brew up" even if it were penetrated.....the Skeets each have 2lb of explosive with a 1lb copper penetrator which should penetrate 80-120mm of RHA so "could" make a tank blow up like we see in DCS....but first of all most skeets seem to miss entirely and those that do hit are just as likely to not penetrate (eg the glacis on an MBT) or simply pass through with nothing but a big hole.....e.g. anything bar the cab or fuel tank of a truck. Do you think DCS is accurate or massively over effective. Indeed from videos I have seen on CBU 87's I'd expect these to be far more effective against trucks than a 105. I'd love to know your thoughts ua-cam.com/video/5wMuTdfaEzA/v-deo.html
@@Pukin-Dog CBU is pretty effective and can be ripped in pairs or in rip singles. This gives you the option for a wider or longer pattern. Additionally, the RPM and Hight of Function can be set to increase density of munitions if the Armor is thicker vs light skin vehicles. So yes, 4 cans fuzed correctly with the right profile could do some serious damage. Now think 4-ship of A-10s. Thats 16 CANS and a lot of GUN. I got 69 vehicles in Iraq once with just gun and secondary explosions.
@@Pukin-Dog As an additional note to the A-10 pilot's response, also note that the russian armor columns seen in Ukraine are at most 20% tanks. The rest are APCs, IFVs, or trucks (with the SAMs being inoperable during transit), so killing the tanks isn't even necessary to destroy the units and force survivors to organize reinforcements. Tanks without escorts are free kills for ambushing infantry, so killing the APCs and IFVs is arguably significantly more impactful than focusing on the tanks with your CAS assets.
Besides, in the first place, destroying more than 20% of a unit's equipment/personnel is enough to seriously neuter its offensive capabilities due to not meeting minimum requirements for their tactics/doctrine, forcing commanders to improvise and compromise. Even the Russians with their doctrinal low value for soldiers' lives will be forced to reorganize and reinforce units damaged by 20% or more, as proven in Ukraine.
@@DSiren The 40km convoy was pretty much no tanks...they were almost entirely support vehicles, trucks etc. All the tanks and APCs were already toward the front....my question to him was about the effectiveness of 105s against MBTs specifically and not related to the convoy...and the question was related to online footage of 105s tests which seems to show them being incapable of penetrating even an old M48 tank (unless it hits maybe the engine bay....specifically this one ua-cam.com/video/5wMuTdfaEzA/v-deo.html Indeed the 105 doesn't seem particularly effective against trucks either. The skeets are just as likely to pass straight through a truck causing little damage unless it hits the cab, fuel tank etc... so an CBU-87 is probably more more effective against trucks than a 105 as they have a much bigger shower of debris. 105s are "probably" best against modern IFVs which might be immune from a CBU 87
God bless the USAF
Dude, you read my mind. The second I saw the long convoys in the news, I thought of the A10. Who wouldn't? Great run! Thanks.
I wonder what kind of air defenses (MANPADs, AAA, esc) is defending the actual convoy. I think I'd be interesting to see an attempted strike in DCS against some sort of resistance.
Probably manpads and SHORADS to make the video short and sweet as to why you dont line up large convoys we assumed there was Sead and Dead strikes before the A-10 came in
Its probably got SHORAD up the ass along with more medium range shit here and there. The whole convoy exists because Russia thought it would be Crimea 2.0. Once they realized it wasn't, they began pushing a shit ton of logistics in, which if you understand how Russians do logistics, you would know that trucks aren't really their thing. They've probably been spending the past couple of days building their LoC's up for upcoming major offensives and sieges on cities such as Kiev. tl;dr Shit's about to pop off hard in Ukraine.
@@originalpastaman5470 I wonder if the Bayraktar can support clusters. They really should be targeting artillery as that and air is the only thing Russians can hit cities with without getting their hands dirty. Once that's out of the way, the Russians would be forced to push and there would be a lot of defences / traps/ ambushes set up in urban environments waiting for them and would probably lead to a Ukrainian victory. Artillery really is the biggest concern for Kiev
Oh you KNOW they must have some BUKS and S-300/400/500 in there, most likely even more.
@@bbglas007 The drone strikes seem to be the Ukrainians getting more lucky than as an actual threat to the Russians. Keep in mind a lot of the drone attacks happened to small Russian forces that where in dire straights in regards to logistics and supplies. Just getting food was an issue. I doubt you're gonna sneak any kind of drone in anywhere close to large pockets of the convoy cause I'm sure they got everything from manpads to even possibly S-300s and all of the integrated radar sharing information. Particularly SHORAD with BUKS and Tunguskas AAA.
Apparently, in the real world , the Turkish drones have been doing quite well at 80 mph and low altitude.
If a small model plane can whoop ass, the A-10 would just hand out destruction.
Those drones are helping the Ukrainian arties too...I did the FO thing and call for fire. It's great to watch the incoming destruction.
@@diytwoincollege7079 It would be like using a clorox wipe to clean off dust on a table
Unbelievable performance this jet can do capable of mass destruction quick effective defense weapon
I remember seeing A-10s practicing around Bragg when they were assigned too Pope AFB, it was crazy how they popping up from the tree line banking and turning in and out of attack positions
I once saw two dog fighting each other in south bavaria.
I Iive near Whiteman AFB and see A10s practicing on an almost daily basis. The sound of A10s over head is so common, people don't even hardly look up. See B2 bombers all the time too, I've seen squadrons of F16s refueling in the air and a10s as well. AH64s, UH60s amd CH47s are very common as well.
My aunt's ex flew A-10's and gave her some of those bullets. They are huge! But we talked how the Air Force keeps saying they will retire it and I don't see why? It seems it is unique and they should make more of them. I wonder if Lockheed just keeps pushing what they want to and what is on assembly line now and of that is causing this? I imagine one benefit as you highlighted to the A-10 is that it is faster and less vulnerable than a helicopter and yet slower than the fast jets that need mote airspeed and also don't hold armor piercing bullets.
@@justaguynamedmax8207 My dad lives where they fly C5s and A10s. It seems like there are A10s in the air every hour
@@mutilatedpopsicles C5s are massive. There is an AFB in Kansas that always has galaxies and globemasters lined up parallel to the highway. It's cool to drive by it.
If only we could have done this in real life. Great video. A squadron of A10 could have changed the course of the war and saved a lot of lives. Very nice job!
Correct but 8 ground attack helicopters were stupidly in Africa. They are on the way back .
@@jamesmedina2062 The playbook the Russians are using is straight out of WWII. If not for nukes the US could easily overtake Putin. It doesn't take much stamina to bomb innocent people and hospitals.
@@C10Scottsdale so true brutha
if the russians didnt have interceptors :(
at least i think they do
They forgot the age old saying of an army marches on its stomach their logistics as a whole has been shocking from day 1. I would even go as far to say they couldn’t logistically organise the invasion against no defenders.
There have been reports that Russian soldiers, who've been captured, had rations with them that expired in 2015. The Russian soldiers were looting food as soon as they got into Ukraine. They were also beating Ukrainian civilians up when they wouldn't give the soldiers any food.
against no defenders they'd drive into kyiv on a school bus

I appreciate the A-10 for what it is ... but if it's got to be just *one* aircraft to deal with this, realistically, the AC-130 Spectre would do more than the A-10, because it's got a couple of Howitzers sticking out of the side of the fuselage.
We know and thank you, but the new A10 comes in at half the cost.
Too slow flying to exist in contested airspace. A-10 is much more survivable in an environment like Ukraine.
@@zacharylucchetti3038 that argument could be Said about the a10 aswell
In reality you would have some kind of air cover there...but imagine a fourship of B2s with 60-80 JDAMs each decimating that convoy for miles and miles
Could only imagine what a brightlight strike would be like, the B-52's did'em mutiple times in vietnam and it would just be a straight line of death and destruction. Back in my JROTC class in high school our marine instructor was at Khe Sahn and he talked about how awesome seeing those brightlight strikes at night were.
Sorta like Desert Storm when Iraqis tried feeling along the highway back into Iraq.
@@jacksonthompson7099 b1 s did them as well
For some odd reason we have not seen much air defense. What we have seen is the glorified toy airplane called a TB2 coming in at 80 mph and doing quite well. The only air defense system I saw was actually being hauled off by a farmer with a tractor. Right now, two A10s with support crews could bring on so much destruction that Putin would be crying uncle. As someone with more than a basic knowledge of the A10, I would say this is a pilots wet dream!!!
Total lack of air cover shows the Russians ineptitude and vulnerability.
I think we all know an a 10 attack pilot would start drooling if they flew over that convoy.
Christopher Bannister The Sitka pilots from WW2 would have enjoyed that party This phone won't even let me spell properly so hoping you know who I mean Those dive bombers from Ww2 that the Germans used
A-10's around the world are pacing back-and-forth with an eye twitch thinking of those convoys.
this was one of the two or three videos that finally made me get dcs. thank you for the content
One thing I’m learning from the Russia Ukraine war is that if Russia ever had an all-out fight with the United States they wouldn’t stand a freaking chance.
Edit for clarification: talking about a conventional war without the use of nukes.
I honestly thought up until now, that Russia would probably be the one's that "might" be able to "invade" the U.S. Now I realize they wouldn't even be able to hold 2 states for 24 hours. Jokingly we could just drop a shit ton of meth heads on invaders, and/or the Florida meth gators too. So many people in the U.S don't like each other.... don't tempt fate by invading the U.S, and ultimately uniting everyone in it to arm themselves and hunker down.
Diffrence is American citizens are armed to the teeth. So you have the army and then the militia
@@Skravla The proverbial "rifle behind every blade of grass."

@@PedjoGT Russian is winning in Ukraine, I’m not delusional about that. But they are putting up a fight. The United States would decimate them.
Definitely a one way mission.
I'm not an American but can u get the MOH for a planned mission if that mission is some call of duty type stuff
Great little mission lol. I made an Arma 3 simulation of the NLAW ambush of the armoured column going through Brovarskyi outside Kyiv. Almost no friendly casualties, while the enemy got devastated every time. A way to increase devastation is to lay mines on the opposite side of the road of the attack, since that's where most armour will retreat to for safety.
I have done a similar mission....with me operating Air defences....and it's a massacre of the A-10s
Damn that was even more devastating than expected lool even after that first run they were done! 😫
The incoming fire is so intense, even the bit rate and the frame rate got destroyed.
When I first saw this convoy I said they wouldn't be getting away with that if the Ukrainians had A10s, attack helicopters, or MLRS rocket systems with cluster munitions. I remember when I read Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy about a conventional WW3, I think the Russians called the A10 the Devil's Cross.
Absolutely loved that book
@@jackjackson8356 I've read it a few times and just started reading it again. BTW in that book the Russians start a war on overly optimistic prewar assessments and their supply chains bog down as their advance stalls. Sound familiar?
You sure know that Ukraine had SU-25 (equivalent of A-10, but faster), attack helicopters (modernized MI versions) and etc. Russians destroyed huge part of Ukrainian aviation at the start, then any attempts of getting closer to convoy were stopped by SAM systems. Baykortar was able to attack it once I think, but it was destroyed shortly after.
Russians can get away with sending 40km convoys.
I remember the destruction of the convoy booking out of Kuwait. The Russian convoy would have been so much worse. Just Ukraine the polish MIG29s. And all the ordinance they need.
@@larrywilson1783 the thing is...
Russian convoy was protected by a lot of AA systems, from simple Tunguskas to
long range C-400 systems.
This convoy successfully took out all ukrainian planes that wanted to attack it and almost every drone, besides one Baykotar that was able to sneak in somehow, when main AA systems were down.
Even though it’s a very long convoy, would it be practical to destroy the front and rear ends first? Might create a big enough problem to strand all or part of the convoy.
I wondered what an A10 could have done, now I know. Awesome destruction.
An A-10 couldn't get close to that convoy unless there was air supremecy and there were no Air Defences.
@@Pukin-Dog agreed, but so far Russia isn't showing much.
One of the greatest aircraft ever made.
@@2madre505 Against near-peers in conflicts with contested airspace and modern AAA, multi-role platforms like the F-35 are able to provide better CAS for ground elements. The A-10, even through the Air Force’s eyes is unfortunately just getting too old, hence the design requirements from the Air Force and Navy for the F-35 to have comprehensive ground attack capability.
It’s nothing political… the branches are simply looking ahead to the future. No doubt of course that it is sad
@@TheKevdaawg A10 is better at cas and air to ground
@@TheKevdaawg The difference is real life vs imagined scenarios. The A-10 is proven in real war while the F-35 is for fantasies only at this point. Future conflicts may change the perception. We don't know yet.
@@TheKevdaawg A-10 is still useful against adversaries that don't have AA/AAA. Example: A-10 runs could've bombed Taliban conventional convoys on the way to Kabul last August... Afghanistan could've been saved maybe?
@@KFLY007 Yes the A-10 is certainly more effective but only with air superiority and/or against a force with limited to no SAMs or other AA platform capabilities.
Against near peers (which is what I specifically talk about and what the Armed Forces consider), this is not a guarantee.
In a near-peer conflict, ground forces requesting CAS would need a faster plane, with more range, and has higher survivability. F-16s and F-18s were already superior to the A-10 in this regard. F-16s and F-18s actually flew more CAS sorties than the A-10 in the Gulf Wars with fewer losses. F-35s would be a further improvement.
The A-10 is an awesome angel of death but it is unfortunately wholesale outmatched in a near peer conflict by the F-35.
Im old enough to remember the Road of Death from the Gulf War; so I know what a few highly motivated A-10s can do ;)
@Wilber nation it was 50 miles long between highway 8 and 80, and involved pretty much everything that could fly or shoot from artillery on the ground to AH64s and marine A6s and A8s, and, yes, A10s.
"The A-10 was used in combat for the first time during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, destroying more than 900 Iraqi tanks, 2,000 other military vehicles and 1,200 artillery pieces."
/\ not all of that on the highway of course, but yes, they were involved
As the son of an A-10 pilot and squadron commander from desert storm, the A-10s absolutely were part of the highway of death. I've seen the footage first hand from my old man and heard the stories from both him and other guys in his squadron. 511th TFS "Vultures" ftw.
@Wilber nation hey, its all good! 😀
Thank you for your great video it was great to watch it and relax before I went to bed.
The warthog is a badass fighter plane ! Enjoyed watching the simulation !
I have been thinking this constantly lmao. 😭😭😭 All it takes to handle that 40 mile convoy is 1 A-10 😭
Only problem with that is the fact the Russians pretty much have air superiority where they have their large logistics convoy like this. If you tried to get an A 10 or anything that is not super sonic to destroy these convoys, the would get intercepted by either enemy aircraft or ground to air missiles.
An apache a couple km's away could probably also solve the problem
@@codmw2nooblet Ukraine doesn't have any Apaches or Apache qualified pilots AFAIK
@@OSemeador ... Neither A-10s
A10 jocks are like "You think you have air superiority, let's try that".
That convoy is the fantasy of any artillery crews and attack pilots
The A10 is a menacing sight to any ground troops and weaponry. It is also hard to take out. And those cluster weapons are no joke
Lol this was absolutely brutal. It's a shame Ukraine doesn't have the capacity to do this.
Maybe he should redo this simulation with mig-29$
Maybe we should lend lease them a dozen. Repaint. Bring pilots to Germany or USA to train.
To my knowledge A10s are not in Ukraine and you cant tell the difference between reality and video games?
Believe the media?
You just made an eloquent request for new aircaft for Ukraine.
wonder how the Su-25 would do considering it would be the most likely aircraft to hit the convoy?
Tons and tons of HE rockets, It would be even easier. Even an SU-25A could deal with that convoy
4 ship A-10 attack run, F35s running wild weasel, using F15s as ammo trucks. F22 flying high cover. Convoy is heavy with S400 and old fashioned AAA guns, so no cake walk. No match for technology
@Μολών λαβέ you forgot the fact that it’s faster.
I was hoping that Czechia would donate a few of their SU-25’s for this exact mission.
Maybe US can donate a B2 Stealth bomber to Ukraine to burn the convoy.
Lmao I was wondering how long this would take.
How accurate is the sound of those cannons from outside the cockpit 🤤. Gives me the heebee jeebees thinking of being on the receiving end tho, even from a video game 😬
Synchronicity had me talking about this just today at the VA Hospital only to find this video tonight. Wow! Synchronicity is awesome.
Shout out to that brave camera man at 5:08!
Good comment alert
And this is why the A-10 Warthog remains the most deadly CAS unit that the US Military has access to. A single fully loaded aircraft can basically devastate a significant amount of the entire convoy, and make the already hellish logistics support even more fucked than it already is, because now you have dozens of burning wrecks that used to be vehicles blocking either the very front meaning the convoy has to go off-road to get further, or both ends basically cutting off any attempt at escape unless they want to go off-road and risk breaking their vehicles. Just a few of these things can ruin the entire convoy in minutes.
wait until this guy hears that the a10 cant penetrate the front and side armors (of modern tanks)
@@canarddelta3046 one shell wont be able to, but 100 will
In reality it would of been shot down before it made it to the convey, you seem to be forgetting that any convoy like that would be covered by long, medium and short range AA that encompasses everything from man portable AA mobile Sam units and static emplacements as well as AA canon fire, also the A10 is completely incapable of defending itself from other fighters so unless you have complete air superiority it would once again be shot down
"At this point you would take AAA and shit like that" minor detail.
@@thisguy2989 if you do the math, the accuracy of an A10 and rate of fire. It's near impossible for 2 rounds to land in exactly the same place.
I said to my wife the first day I saw the convoy.. they are just sitting ducks.. the A-10's would have a field day taking them all out in a couple hours.. the war would be over. I'd pay to see that!!!
Great fun thanks. ✌🏻👊
S2 Underground had a good point for explaining why the Russian military convoys are like this. Basically, the US knows to create dispersion and all that stuff only from decades of fighting insurgencies with IEDs. The Russian military hasn't really had to do that, at least not on the level that we did and definitely not enough for them to change their doctrine. So basically the reason why is because that's just the way they've always done it and they've never really had much of a reason to change it. Which is funny considering the wealth of information on the internet nowadays, they could've easily learned from us.
Nobody has mastered logistics like the US has
They do it because they have air superiority in that region, and Ukrainian civilians haven't resorted to IEDs yet. Trust me, Russia and China have been studying our military to the best of their ability. They're not morons. Putin has just made some impressively stupid decisions.
@@TheDevildogGamer No one's military is even close to ours, though I think China is closest. Maybe the Soviet Union could've given us a solid fight back in the 60s or something, but now? Pfffft it's not even close.
@@clamum9648 russia can just donate all their nukes on their homeland which would litarly break this planet and destroy the USA aswell
It is funny to read comments claiming complete superiority over Russians while US bailed out of Afghanistan in shame just couple of months ago. How many times do you need to fail to understand things dont play out as you think they will in field? It certainly doesn't play as Russians planned, for sure. What makes you think it will work better for you?
Love you continously seeing your videos love u subscribed
I had an A-10 fly over low a week ago. Cool as hell to see and hear. Near Grand Lake St Marys in western Ohio. I think an Air National Guard unit does training out here because we see them every so often. Maybe out of Toledo.
Their out of Ft.Wayne.
Outstanding. I was wondering when somebody would try this.
That is one combat ineffective convoy.

I literally just had this thought the other day, how much fun An a-10 would have w that convoy
When I hear "gamer" in the intro, it know I'm onto some legit intel!!
You can take care of a few of the tanks in the front and a few of the tanks in the back of the convoy. They should still be there when you come back after your reload.
That's what they did on the Road of Death. sm
Drive around
Add a few in the middle
Lol “Dead-ski”
There was a former air force pilot that was doing commentary on that convoy. I swear he salivating over the ease of killing that convoy just like what happened to iraq during desert storm
Any A10 driver who flew this type of mission is a hero. Big Balls and a person I would trust forever.
A-10 pilots would have to deal with SA-10s, SA-11s, 2S6s and even the Pantsir. This NOT the low threat environment that the Hogs (thankfully) have had to deal with. Even the Su-24s and Su-25s have had a hard time. The same can be said for the Russian Su-25s and Su-34s. The IADS is very dangerous against 4th Birds. I love the Hogs, they are awesome birds and were light years ahead of the A-37s and A-1s but it would not be good having them anyway an IADS.
The only way of protecting a moving convoy is with jets of your own or Manpads. Everything else you mentioned must be stationary to work.
Why not send in the Growlers to jam the radar of the SAM trucks then send in the Hogs to clean house?
@@garrett1488 But AA comes with countermeasures for radar jamming!

Why do I get feeling someone might use your video as false information on the war
I saw someone use a Arma 3 video claim it was Ukraine
Fair. Might be worth tweaking the title
@@matthewrowley9679 I saw that as well, what an absolute dunce.
The "BRRRT!!!" is the sound of tank crews' pants filling up with crap.
Love to see this actually happen!
You could hear the "blyat" of a thousand tormented russian souls...
Welp I certainly no longer think the A-10 is obsolete against a conventional military
the A-10 did this in Iraq in 1991, against air defenses of all types too.
It is obsolete.
Thank you for your service
Lmao hell yea. Felt that pog pride too watching this play out in real time
it's well worth checking out Laserpig's analysis of the A10 & its efficacy - it's a bit of a disappointing eye opener - but the A10 wouldn't need to kill the tanks, it could target the fuel & munitions trucks, apc's & soft skinned vehicles, etc - tanks can't go far without fuel & support.
Laserpig has also been very inaccurate and laughed at in aviation circles. While it is good to have constructive criticism, most of his claims are stretched or mostly unfounded hearsay
Lazerpig is a fun youtuber but his analysis of the A-10 was short sighted at best.
Yes, it's GAU-8 is unlikely to destroy a MBT, but it is completely capable of rendering that tank useless and immovable.
Besides, The A-10 wouldn't use the GAU-8 on a tank, it would use a precision weapon, the gun would destroy literally anything else the Russians would have on the ground.
Air defense weapons are not a relevant threat either, US doctrine has it that A-10's don't operate when their are air defense systems, so they would be targeted and destroyed by gen 5 platforms prior to an A-10 entering the AO.
@@saltyfloridaman7163 👍 tvm for the info, I've only seen laserpig for the 1st time recently, when discussing this very issue with a mate who pointed me to the LP platform, I'll bitchslap m'mate later lol
@@launchsquid 👍 also, Russia only has a very few of their new T-14 Armata tanks, so their older models will be much more vulnerable. I'm still a fan of the A10 ;)
@@launchsquid the PGM you talk about can all be carried by other aircraft as well, thus making the A-10 redundant
infact a F-15E can carry way more PGMs
on top of that, the plane with the most tank kills is not the A-10, its the F-111

Semper Fidelis brother. RECON scout/sniper. LOVE your flight demo. What program is that. I fly too. Had a PC A-10 program about 10-12 yrs ago. Looking for a replacement for that program for Xbox One. Can you help? God bless brother.
For those of you that may remember, Iraq's attempted escape from looting Kuwait...the turkey shoot the escape became. Nice!
What I would give to see just one squadron of a10s deployed to Ukraine. Holy shit that would be so amazing
You would have one squadron of scrap metal and dead pilots.
@@Pukin-Dog lmao, good joke.
@@staycxld how do you think an a10 would fare against an sa13 sa15 s400 a tunguska or a shilka? Its target practice
ua-cam.com/video/_LOqeZWHfvA/v-deo.html
@Pukin Dog F-35 will kill those anti-air first, and then A-10s will go roast the Russian tanks. Enough?
Would be interesting to see how a Strike Eagle handled this
those site of that convoy was every A-10 pilot's wet dream
Man it would SUCK to be in that convoy with a Warthog coming at you. Whoa!
So the question is which would you rather have to strike these Convoys an A10 or a AC-130 Spectre Gunship?
I think the A 10 to do more better because it's removable and fast and the ac 130 that is support aircraft but I think both would destroy the Convoy anyway
BOTH!
The AC-130 is more like flying artillery.
@@jamesbernard3255 I agree
AC-130s would be very vulnerable to MANPADs.
It would be (technically) best to destroy the front and back of the convoy so that the vehicles can’t escape.
You do understand a lot of these vehicles are more than capable of going *Offroad* yah? lol
@@Getz2oo3 yeah. But they can only go so fast off road. And getting stuck in mud is still a risk, even with the best offroad vehicles tuned for those situations
@@amp5275 This is a fair assessment. But that wouldn't stop someone in a panic from attempting it.
Spotter: "Looks like they're lining up"
A-10 pilot: "Well, they're excited. BRRRRRRRRRRT"
I was thinking the same thing but with the av8b harrier, the aircraft I used to work on. Since they are deactivating the harrier it would be nice to put together a couple of volunteer squadrons and create havoc on the invaders. And another thing we don't need airfields a stretch of road is good enough for us LOL Semper Fi
MOAB: to whom it may concern
Not actually 50km long. It was reported 40KM long because it was 40km from Kyiv, and journalists are lazy. Its actually a bunch of smaller convoy units in 15+ clusters, spread out over a 50mile road. Not 50mile of bumper to bumper convoy
Bumper
Who cares about facts now? We live in post true age.
So yeah, it’s a 40km long convoy. Military convoys aren’t ass to ass, they’re spread out and typically have breaks in between clusters of vehicles, especially for the recon and security elements. So by tactical standards it’s a 40km long convoy.
@@eNoble-US It really is not. Each cluster is under a mile. It would better be described as fifteen convoys spread out on a 70 mile road. When the reports started, they were 40 miles from Kyiv. Which somehow ended up reported as a “40 mile long convoy”.
I mean, that's a theory on it, yeah, but it's not confirmed. Also, no, it's 40miles long, sat imagining has confirmed that much.
6:52 to 6:58 has to be the most terrifying sound an enemy will ever hear. Certainly the last sound they’d hear👌🏼
Its music
Bbbbbrrrrrrrttttttt
That first run was insane so was that brrrt
You forgot to include the couple of S-400 sitting across the border, covering the entire convoy. Which is why it gets to sit there. An A-10 would be shot down before even getting close to the convoy.
It's hypothetical. Hypothetically , the A-10 would have all kinds of air cover.
One A10 against the backed up traffic going into Disneyland...🤣
Trust the United States would disable anti aircraft middles first.
Remember unlike the Russians, Americans know how to execute a plan.
I know this sounds strange to a russian but the Americans would take out the air defense before the A-10 goes in. They'd also bring diesel for the tanks and use vehicles with tires that weren't side rotted from day 1.
What about stealth? How high can you be to deliver a similar payload and how far can you get before they know something is gonna hit?
Tbh I feel like with the F-35 would be in and out fairly quickly to the point where they wouldn’t even know it’s there with enough time!
Yeah I think the f35 would be the better option since we’ve seen the Russians actually start to turn on their AA defenses
F35s, so you can hit like 2 trucks at the cost of $11 billion. The A10 can fly in at 350ft off the deck, radar picks them up about 15 seconds before the first rounds hit. They won't have MPADs pointed in the right direction before they are dead. The light guns (34mm) that might track them will dent the paint as they head home.
@@andrewroberts3187 F-35 correct me if I’m wrong has multiple things that it can be suited to do. Wether they have it carry Bombs, ATG, or AA. Wouldn’t sending in two F-35’s with GBU’s still be more effective since they’re stealth air craft, are faster, and have better mobility?
@@andrewroberts3187 I do agree with you that the A-10, would be more deadly and a lot cheaper though don’t disagree with you at all on that. I’m just thinking of stealth
The A10 is the a tank in the air and badass fire power close range.a real work horse for close air support! irreplaceable!
Absolutely AWESOME!!!
Actually, just sayin', on your 2nd pass, you should stay straight and low to get cover from the smoke as it blocks most targeting from the ground as you pass it. When you pull to the side, it exposes you from multiple vantage points. At that range you are toast if they get four missiles at you at once.
Im so baffled that they haven't hit that convoy yet. You would think it would deal a massive blow to them. I get they may lack the equipment but still. I'd like to know whats going on with the delay.
Stand down civilian
The main convoy is most certainly being covered by S-400 systems. Otherwise it would be gone by now.
What is the name of this simulated flight system and on what platform would I need to purchase it I am an old hand at aerial combat years ago but would like to get into the newer generation of flight control war games where would I start
Amazing that you showed this video. I thought about this exact scenario with an A-10, if we only could for real. Of course, if this were real, I'm sure there would be russian air protection.
How, exactly, did the convoy finally escape unscathed? If ever I saw one, that is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.
Because the US refused to bring in planes to replace the Polish MIGs they were gonna give Ukraine. Good news though, they've got the Bayraktor now, and that thing is silent death.
So where is Russia's modern forces they say they have? All I see is soviet era equipment and a few "modern" pieces here and there.
Russians uses old equipment to scrap
It was an SA13 which was seen crushing that car....and one of those would be enough to take out a 2 ship or even a 4 ship of A-10s...and I have seen plenty of SA13s and other SHORADs on TV......but you wont see any long range systems like the S400 as they can cover the convoy from well within Russian territory.
when i saw this convoy few weeks before 1st that came to my mind was the a10 ;)
First time I saw that on the news I utter those words, "target rich environment!"
This man just took out half the russian army in 3 runs lmao
Yes sir
Yeah this was totally the 65km they were talking about maybe 1k or 2
"Loaded FOR bear", my good Devil, "FOR bear". Also, this is the kind of footage that should be introduced into the Russian misinformation stream. It would serve them right to have a little freak-out time, thinking they just lost a shit-ton of logis. :D
I oversaw production of 30mm ammo for the Gau 8. Hei Api mix an then TP produced at JAAP.
Just incredible....when I saw the picture of this convoy I thought.....A-10.
Supposedly, the reason they had to put all their vehicles on the road is because the tires were poorly maintained due to low level corruption. The low levels receive money to move and maintain the vehicles once a year which they did not do, instead they pocketed the money and as a result the tires bust when subject to the stress of going off road.
Biggest issue is the mud they are sticking to roads, my buddy on the ground is seeing 99% of combat on roadways
@@TheDevildogGamer Hope he stays alive. Russia needs to pay for this.
An A10 wouldn't even get close to do any damage. There are lots buks and similar air defences around the columns, drone strikes clearly show that. And that is also the reason drones still can inflict damage, while Ukrainian airforce sits this one out.
DEAD aircraft would have their own turkey shoot, I don't feel like Buk crews are anymore well trained than the rest of the failing Russian forces.
@@MRB2580 The response for DEAD is more AA systems. LRAM systems and what not. The more layered the defenses the harder DEAD will succeed. By the way, Russians don't train very well in SEAD and DEAD. They're mainly a ground military with good AA systems.
@@lowspeccrysis7624 Well those systems wouldn't have time to re-deploy as a strike would occur almost immediately after a DEAD package. SEAD and ECM can minimise risks during an A-10 strike. I don't know why everyone wants to pretend CAS aircraft would go completely unsupported during a conventional conflict.
@@MRB2580 I don't know why people think Russia would allow them to get even close in the first place.
@@lowspeccrysis7624 Wherever Russia would allow US aircraft to get close or not doesn't matter. They can't even gain air superiority over Ukrainian peer Su-27 and MiG-29s.
The video I didn’t know I knew I wanted the moment I saw that convoy....
I've had A-10s fly over my house and PAST ME while walking. Nothing like looking over and practically able to see the guys feel as he waved
