What is the A-10 Warthog?

Let’s talk about the legendary A-10 Warthog—an aircraft beloved by aviation fans and feared by anything with tracks. Officially known as the A-10 Thunderbolt II, this single-seat, twin-engine jet was purpose-built for one thing: close air support.

Whether it’s tank-busting or clearing the way for ground troops, the Warthog excels at swooping down low and delivering serious firepower. Its rugged design and heavy armor make it a battlefield workhorse, trusted to protect soldiers and knock out enemy vehicles with precision. If there’s a tough job on the ground, you can bet the A-10 is up for it.

More Than Just Close Air Support

In addition to its legendary close air support capabilities, the A-10 Warthog is also equipped to handle forward air control missions from the air—better known as FAC-A. This means the Warthog isn’t just an expert at taking out ground targets; it can also coordinate and direct other aircraft in battle, helping guide the action from above and ensuring every strike counts.

Nicknames for the A-10

Affectionately called the “Warthog” (or just “Hog” by those who know her best), the A-10 draws its nickname from both its rugged appearance and its intimidating battlefield presence. The official name, Thunderbolt II, gives a nod to the legendary Republic P-47 Thunderbolt—a WWII fighter known for toughness and close air support. Whether you’re chatting with pilots or aviation fans, you’ll hear both “Warthog” and “Hog” tossed around with a mix of reverence and a little smile.
