This is a 'rerun', a single video version of a two-part video uploaded earlier. It deserved more views so I'm giving it another chance.
Even though A-10 wasn't even meant to be sent to the Gulf in the first plans for the liberation of Kuwait, it still performed extremely well flying the second highest number of sorties among Coalition combat aircraft. But A-10s were asked to fly some of the most dangerous missions and this resulted in a relatively high loss rate. In this video, we will analyze the first A-10 'Warthog' shootdown of the War.
