Vintage Warplane Roars in the Strait of Hormuz
The 'A-10 Thunderbolt' (Warthog)—a vintage warplane that the U.S. Air Force had intended to retire—has now become a pivotal asset in hunting down Iranian speedboats in the Strait of Hormuz. Its powerful cannon, capable of firing 3,900 rounds per minute, is striking fear into the hearts of adversaries. With modern F-35 aircraft being prohibitively expensive, the capabilities of this 'flying tank'—specifically its ability to fly at low altitudes and withstand enemy fire—have now proven to be a boon for the United States.
