THEY SAID THE WARTHOG WAS OBSOLETE … IRAN JUST FOUND OUT IT'S NOT.
Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine confirmed today at the Pentagon: A-10 Warthogs are now hunting and killing Iranian fast-attack boats in the Strait of Hormuz. At the same time, Apache helicopters are striking Iranian-aligned militia groups in Iraq to suppress threats against U.S. forces.
Let that sink in – The aircraft the Air Force has been trying to retire for years – the plane Pentagon bureaucrats called a relic – is right now dismantling Iran's navy one speedboat at a time!! As of today, U.S. forces have destroyed more than 120 Iranian vessels and 44 mine-laying ships. Iran tried to close the world's most critical oil chokepoint. Instead, they handed the U.S. military a live-fire training ground and we're using a 50-year-old aircraft to obliterate their fleet.
There's a lesson here for every Defense Department bureaucrat who wanted to put the Warthog out to pasture. The A-10 can loiter for hours, identify fast-moving small craft, and prosecute them with precision – exactly the mission Iran handed us in the Strait. Congress blocked the retirement, so the military deployed them and now Iran is watching its naval forces get systematically erased by an aircraft that wasn't supposed to exist anymore!!
The Strait of Hormuz will reopen … and the Warthog will have earned its place in history one more time!!
Somebody owes Congress a thank you note.
On a personal note - the A-10 is my favorite aircraft of all times. Just to see them swoop down and Brrrrrrrrrrtttttttttt a target. Those Iranian boats probably never heard or seen them coming!!
It doesn’t get any better than a Warthog at Golden Hour. A legendary bird framed by a glowing sunset—pure magic to end the night.
