More A-10C Warthogs Headed To Iran Ready To Rumble!

James Coughlin, World News Report Today. More A-10C Warthogs heading to Iran ready to rumble. With the iconic attack jet now in the twilight of its career, there are signs that the A-10C Warthog is set to deploy to the Middle East region for Operation Epic Fury. Now we already have some in the straits currently. Such a deployment might well provide the combat swan song, the A-10, which the U.S. Air Force plans to retire for good by the end of the decade, if not sooner. The development comes as U.S. President Donald Trump ramps up its threats against Iran, including threatening to eliminate its civilian infrastructure and oil-producing capabilities. Publicly available flight tracking data today suggests that the Air Force is preparing to send a flight of A-10s across the Atlantic with three KC-135 Stratotankers already airborne from RAF Mildenhall in England, apparently to meet Tabor 71, a flight of eight Warthogs, headed in the opposite direction. Two of those jets were spares, according to the unverified reports based on radio traffic. Meanwhile, there are indications that as many as 20 additional attendees have gathered at Portsmouth International Airport at Pease, New Hampshire, which is a standard jump-off point for a flight across to RAF Lincoln Heath in England, which has seen a major influx of U.S. combat jets in recent days. Unconfirmed reports suggest these warthogs are drawn from the 124th Fighter Wing of the Idaho Air National Guard at Gowen Field and from Michigan Air National Guard's 127th Wing at Suffrage Air National Guard Base. You're looking at four of the A-10C Thunderbolts. These things are bad. Taking off from Gowen Field in Idaho. Let me just say folks, bad to the bone. As most of y'all already know A-10 Warthogs are already helping dismantle Iran's navy operating in the region a long-standing if often overlooked maritime role this is part of broader efforts by the u.s military to find ways to reopen the critical waterway to normal maritime commerce which has ground to a virtual halt in the face of Iranian attacks on shipping and its declaration that the straits are closed. Above all else, A-10s warthogs have also been seen repeatedly attacking Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, operating in their best-known overland role. Having more A-10s in the theater will provide additional capability for the U.S. military to occupy or blockade Iran's strategically vital Qeshm Island, a prospect that we have discussed in detail in the past. A-10s will also provide valuable close air support for commando raids deep into Iran. Gotta love this bad plane. please share and subscribe and always remember anything's possible in bizarro world say a prayer for all these gentlemen god bless
