Fairchild A - 10 Thunderbolt II Named after the P - 47 Thunderbolt , the A - 10 Thunderbolt II are the first Air Force aircraft specially designed for close air support of ground forces . They are simple , effective and survivable twin - engine , no afterburner , jet aircraft that can be used against all ground targets , including tanks and other armored vehicles . The primary mission of the A - 10 is to provide day and night close air combat support for friendly land forces and to act as forward air controller ( FAC ) to coordinate and direct friendly air forces in support of land forces . The A - 10 has a secondary mission of supporting search and rescue and Special Forces operations . It also possesses a limited capability to perform certain types of interdiction . All of these missions may take place in a high or low threat environment . Description . The A - 10 aircraft was specifically developed as a close air support aircraft with reliability and maintainability as major design considerations . The Air Force requirements documents emphasized payload , low altitude flying capability , range and loiter capability , low speed maneuverability and weapons delivery accuracy . The aircraft is capable of worldwide deployment and operation from austere bases with minimal support equipment . Specific survivability features include titanium armor plated cockpit , a redundant flight control systems separated by fuel tank , manual reversion mode for flight controls , foam filled fuel tanks , ballistic foam void fillers , and a redundant primary structure to boost the aircraft ' s survivability of a direct hit . Design simplicity , ease of access and left to right interchangeable components make the A / OA - 10 aircraft readily maintainable and suitable for deployment at advanced bases . The A - 10 ' s payload makes it all the more deadly . It can carry a large configuration of air to ground weapons , including AGM - 65 Maverick anti - armor missiles , cluster bombs , and JDAM guided munitions ( for the C variant ) . Added with this the AIM - 9 Sidwinder is integrated into its arsenal for self - defense capability against hostile aircraft . The most notable feature of the A - 10 is its GAU - 7 Avenger gatling gun , which is perhaps the most powerful and potent gun of its type in the world . With its high calibur and explosive rounds it can easily pierce into the thickest of armor . The distinct sound the gun makes as it fires is what earned the aircraft ' s nickname , " Warthog " from pilots and maintenance crews .
