It was built to destroy Soviet tank columns in 72 hours. Now it's being sent to Iran. And it changes EVERYTHING about this war. 🚨🚨🚨 THE A-10 WARTHOG HAS BEEN DEPLOYED AGAINST IRAN — THE MOST TERRIFYING GROUND-ATTACK AIRCRAFT EVER BUILT IS NOW IN COMBAT 🚨🚨🚨 The US just confirmed the A-10 Thunderbolt II was used in the FIRST 24 HOURS of Operation Epic Fury. This isn't a reconnaissance plane. This isn't a stealth bomber flying at 40,000 feet. This is a flying gun designed to obliterate EVERYTHING on the ground at close range. Read that again. THE WEAPON: → The GAU-8/A Avenger — a 30mm rotary cannon that fires 3,900 rounds PER MINUTE → Each round is the size of a beer bottle — made of depleted uranium → Depleted uranium penetrates ANY armored vehicle on Earth — tanks, APCs, bunkers — SHREDDED → The gun is so massive the ENTIRE aircraft was built AROUND it — the cannon weighs 4,000 lbs alone → Firing sound arrives AFTER the bullets — targets are DEAD before they hear the BRRRT THE AIRCRAFT: → Titanium bathtub cockpit — survives direct hits from 23mm anti-aircraft rounds → Can fly with ONE engine, HALF a tail, and HUNDREDS of bullet holes → Designed to operate from damaged runways, highways, even dirt strips → Cruises at 300 mph LOW — under radar, under missile engagement envelopes → Carries 16,000 lbs of ordnance — Mavericks, cluster bombs, JDAMs — ON TOP of the gun 💀 A single A-10 strafing run destroys an ENTIRE armored column — 30 vehicles GONE in seconds 💀 In Desert Storm, A-10s destroyed 900+ tanks, 2,000+ military vehicles, and 1,200+ artillery pieces 💀 In Iraq, one A-10 took 300+ hits from ground fire — flew back to base and was REPAIRED OVERNIGHT 💀 Iran's ground forces — Revolutionary Guard armored divisions, mobile missile launchers, naval fast boats — ALL within the A-10's kill zone ⚠️ CENTCOM confirmed A-10s in the FIRST wave alongside B-2s, F-22s, and F-35s — this isn't support, this is a PRIMARY assault platform ⚠️ Over 5,000 targets struck and 50+ Iranian vessels destroyed in 10 days — the A-10 was built EXACTLY for this ⚠️ The US deployed 30 different weapon systems simultaneously — the largest coordinated military operation since the invasion of Iraq They're showing you stealth bombers and missile strikes from 30,000 feet. They're NOT showing you that the US just sent the most BRUTAL close-air-support aircraft in human history to shred Iranian ground forces at 500 feet. You don't deploy A-10 Warthogs for precision strikes. → You deploy them when you want to ANNIHILATE everything on the ground. → And you only send them in when you've already decided the ground war is INEVITABLE. This is the most devastating close-air-support deployment since Desert Storm in 1991. |

BREAKING: China is pressuring Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. There is one problem. Iran did not close it. Seven insurance companies in London did. (I remember telling this to another wacko called sonofwords on this thread) China buys 80% of Iran’s shipped oil. Beijing has a $400 billion, 25-year cooperation agreement with Tehran. China is Iran’s economic lifeline. If any country on earth has leverage over Iran, it is China. And China is now using that leverage to demand the Strait reopens. But the Strait was not closed by a sovereign decision. It was closed by the withdrawal of reinsurance capacity from five to ten firms, mostly in London, backstopping twelve P&I clubs that cover 90% of global tonnage. Iran did not order those firms to withdraw. Iran cannot order them to reinstate. Neither can China. Even if Tehran capitulates entirely tonight and the IRGC stands down, not a single reinsurer reinstates Gulf war risk coverage on a phone call from Beijing. Reinstatement requires rebuilt risk models, voyage-by-voyage re-underwriting, repriced treaty capacity, and a threat environment that actuaries can quantify. None of that exists while 440.9 kilograms of weapons-grade uranium remains unaccounted for and the IRGC is still launching drones at Oman. China has leverage over Iran. China has zero leverage over Lloyd’s of London. This is the part nobody is modelling. The country with the most to lose and the most leverage over the belligerent cannot fix the mechanism that actually closed the Strait. Because the mechanism is not geopolitical. It is actuarial. And actuaries do not take calls from the Politburo. |

Scorpio99:Like I've been saying. All these Trump machinations are all about cutting China down to size. They used to buy venezuelan oil at $15 discount. Gone. Giving them unfair advantages in their energy expenses. They buy Iranian oil a discount. If the regime goes, they'll have to buy at market rates. Finally if Russia signs a peace deal with Ukraine which will include reinstatement to the international money transfer and trade Russia will sell oil and gas to Europe at market rates. No more discounts to China. I posted that China is that bully who oppresses you when you are down. All the while doing nothing worth mentioning on keeping shipping lanes open . It's those 11 American carrier groups who protect shipping globally. Regarding insurance Trump proposed the USDF to consider insuring ships at reasonable rates. This made the British Lord's and their Lloyd's realize they can lose a huge market when hostilities cease , they sent their warship to the Middle East. |

basilico:I thought you said they were almost out of launchers and missiles last week sef. Iran has been preparing for this for decades. |

Hmmmm

dermmy:But it's a rag tag army. Depending on public pressure . If they were to fight the Saudi they would threaten their oil infrastructure not decimating the army. Their defence and offence strategy is about sending missiles to outrage the public. A deterrence to make war against them expensive. They have Hezbollah and Hamas hundreds of thousands of rockets to overwhelm Israel defences . That's no strategy if it comes to real war. A good chunk of their launchers have been taken out , they are being triangulated within 60 seconds. Don't forget to Iranians,their army is happy dying in battle ( for unproven rewards) unlike other western soldiers who desire to live. |

Kingsnairaland:What happened to Germans they are doing good and at peace. It's isreal that haven't known any peace since then, because they are in a stolen land and the owner wants the land back |

basilico:You no know how the tin dey do you. A ragtag military with no air force and navy that two powerful nations have been battling for two weeks and couldn't subdue. I wonder what will happen to America if it goes to war with great China. We can now agree that American military is overrated. Defeated by ragtag Vietn Minh forces in Vietnam, defeated by ragtag goat herders in Afghanistan now another defeat is being cooked by the Iranian military that you labelled ragtag. |

Alamkiir:The Iran drone is called Shahed. In Arabic a shahed is one dies fighting for his god. Summary. 1.Muslims invented the suicide unmaned drone. 2.They also invented the suicide vest. I guess I'll be banned for staying the obvious. |

dermmy:Iran has no army worth mentioning at this time.. Very rich country selling 1.6 million barrels of oil per day. Then spend most of that money plotting to destroy a country it has no borders with . |

basilico:Oga go and take your drugs. "A country that has no army worth mentioning" has disgraced America and Israel. |

dermmy:Iran with a good chunk of the population having college degrees would have invested in research like rolling out competitors to OpenAI or Arthropic or Grok. Instead all what their Ayatollahs care about is destroying Israel and America. |

dermmy:You said the same thing during the 12 day war. Now, this war has gone on for more than 12 days. Can you tell us why the thaad interceptors you told us was critically low and gone 75% down during 12 days has not gone down now after over 2 weeks of war? |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by basilico: 8:53am On Mar 15 |
Scorpio99:One thing I know about the west and esp America , is that they can scale up production to unimaginable levels on demand. Trump has said they have unlimited ammunition and bombs to continue pummelling Iran forever |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Nobody: 9:04am On Mar 15 |
basilico:It is only Nairaland wackos that believe thaad interceptors would be critically low after 12 days of war. Even Nigeria, the corruption capital of the world can't run low like that within 12 days of a war |

Alamkiir:You'd do well to ignore that deluded fellow. The reality of the world he lives in exists only in his head. The brain in that head gets its energy not from the mitochondria in its cells, but from believing that Zionists are God's direct offsprings and so can do no wrong and are better off than everyone else spiritually, physically, mentally and otherwise. That's the only thought his mind holds from dusk till dawn and from dawn till dusk! Any man who can so demean his own existence in order to worship the very existence of a people who believe themselves gods and the rest of humanity rats needs our prayers at best. |

⚡Kim Jong Un, accompanied by his daughter Kim Ju Ae, observed a live-fire test of multiple rocket launch systems on Saturday. North Korea said the test demonstrated its deterrence capability and its ability to strike targets up to 420 km away, potentially with tactical nuclear weapons. South Korea detected about 10 ballistic missiles launched toward the eastern sea and condemned the test as a violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

Mikasaobi:. You’re asking about Benjamin Netanyahu while your own leader Mojtaba Khamenei has been ruling the country like a missing person since inauguration. Priorities .Imagine questioning Benjamin Netanyahu when even Google can’t find your own leader Mojtaba Khamenei since he took power. ![]() |
