In a stunning move, the United States has deployed dozens of A-10 Thunderbolt II “Warthogs” to airbases across Poland — right on the doorstep of Kaliningrad and Belarus. These legendary tank-busters, feared since the Cold War, have returned to Europe’s front line.
At least one U.S. Air Force A-10C Warthog has returned from a deployment to the Middle East with kill markings revealing drone kills. The evidence most likely confirms that the attack jets are now using laser-guided air-to-ground rockets as counter-drone weapons in an operational context. TWZ was the first to reveal that the A-10 has received the ability to employ the Advanced Precision Kill Weapons System II (APKWS II) in the air-to-air role, as you can read about here. The image of the jet in question was captured by @mhtplanes, who posted it to the social media site X.
