The A-10 Warthog is one of the most feared and durable aircraft in the US Air Force inventory. Developed in the late 1960s specifically for Close Air Support missions (CAS), the A-10 is often referred to as an airplane built around a gun. The A-10 has supported ground forces during Operation Desert Shield/Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, the war in Afghanistan, and in Syria. In over 8,000 combat sorties, the A-10 has only suffered seven complete aircraft losses.
