Also, on a side not, I work on the A10 here at Lockheed Martin  As we speak I am working on integrating a new missle on the A-10 that has not been fired off of a fixed wing aircraft other than the predator which isn't a fighter. We will probably be testing at White Sands also this fall.
They're finally putting Hellfire on the A-10? It's about time...I remember that being advertised as a "capability" probably 15 years ago. The Hog could probably carry a dozen of those things.
I don't see how they could unless it has gone away from being wire-controlled.
You're confusing TOW and Hellfire missiles. The old TOW are wire-guided, but the Hellfires are laser or radar-guided.

Are you serious? You must not follow the A-10 that much anymore. We just rolled out a HUGE upgrade to the A-10, now the A-10C called Precision Engagement. It has a lot more capability now, why do you think they are still keeping it active after talks of retiring it? Because nothing can provide CAS like the A-10.
I wasn't referring to the A-10, but thanks.

Yea, I realized that after re-reading it, sorry about that. Its just a lot of people "make fun" of the A-10 for being so old and not as technologically advanced as the modern fighters.

Yea, I agree for the most part, but as previously mentioned, we just rolled out a HUGE upgrade which gave the aircraft so many more capabilities. Its getting there. This aircraft will be here for a while to come.
