A Closer Look At The A-10 Warthog’s Development Program

The type entered service in 1976.

The F-35 and B-21 are two examples of clean-sheet advanced combat aircraft whose design dates from the post-Iron Curtain era.

Over 100 A-10s have been lost to accidents over the years while the ‘bathtub’ has protected the pilot in battle.

The Mirage F1 (& 2000), have downed US-made F-100s, F-14s, and F-16s in Iranian and Turkish service.

All European fighter jets currently in production use US-sourced components – although some use more than others.

South Korea’s KF-21 Boramae fighter jet is halfway through flight tests, with a clean safety record and fresh development.

The company is often overlooked.

The flyaway cost of an F-35 is lower than many advanced 4th-generation fighters while offering far more capabilities.

The Marines operate a variety of fixed-wing aircraft, including multiple types of fighter jets.

The Saab 35 Draken was a successful Swedish interceptor noted for its excellent aerobatic performance.
