Definately one of those aircraft that you're glad is on your side.

Had to deal with them at NTC back in early '00. They would fly for us for a few hours, leave, and then come back flying for the other side. No live rounds thankfully, but when you can see one flying at you from the driver's periscope of a tank...that's not fun.

During my last trip to this lovely paradise, I had the pleasure of watching an A-10 smoke the shit out of a bunch of Iraqi vehicles. They never had a chance. I heard there is a new, more lethal updated version coming out, which is good for us, bad for everyone on the business end.
