History and use of the A-10C Thunderbolt II

The A-10C Thunderbolt II is a modernized version of the legendary American close air support aircraft, the A-10A, which has been widely used by the United States Air Force (USAF). The aircraft entered service in the 1970s, but upgrades to the C version began in the early 21st century, mainly in the period from 2005 to 2011. The aircraft saw combat in conflicts such as the Iraq War, Afghanistan, and NATO operations over Libya. It is distinguished by exceptional durability and powerful armament directed against ground targets.
