America Tests A New Super A 10 Warthog After Upgrade

The A-10 Warthog ground-attack jet, already in the process of receiving new wings, is also set for a series of improvements including new weapons, cockpit upgrades, helmet-mounted controls, and a laser designator pod

The upgrade of A-10As to A-10Cs from 2005 onwards was a huge leap for the Warthog. Suite 10 will field in the spring of 2021.

The improvements, as described by Combat Aircraft, are part of the A-10 Common Fleet Initiative. The improvements include standoff bombs that destroy enemy air defense systems at a distance, allowing the Warthog to close in and destroy enemy tanks up close.
