Special Operations Calls In A-10 Warthog To Crush The Competition
Published 3 years ago
Unconfirmed footage, reportedly out of Afghanistan's Helmand province appears to show US Special Operations Forces calling in an A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) strafing run on a "danger close" enemy position.
Based on the leisure posture of the soldiers and the lack of snaps and whizzes of incoming rounds, it's possible the close air support operation was for purposes of terrain denial or a show of force. The presence of support vehicles in the background suggests this is happening near a major base or on a battalion or brigade-sized operation.
