The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, aka Warthog, is an American twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic in the early 1970s. The A-10 was designed around the GAU-8 Avenger, a 30 mm rotary cannon that is the airplane's primary armament and the heaviest such automatic cannon mounted on an aircraft. Interesting fact, G.E. makes both the engine and weapons systems for the A-10, oh wait, plus, the AMMO !! They have their bases covered very well !! Here's the pictures.
A DU slug, and the Gun.
