Cluster bombs weren’t banned due to the direct damage they could do, but the fact that there were a LARGE number of “dud” bomblets that still go off when kids tamper with them much the same as old battlefields with minefields…

Another great episode guys. John’s definitely right about these things having a reputation out of all proportions RESILIENCE: As the guys say, the A-10 is ridiculously tough. The pilot sits in a titanium “bathtub” that was originally taken from the steel bathtub built into the Il-2 Sturmovik of Soviet WW2 fame. The engines are built out that way on those little pylons so they are not beside each other and one shell cannot take both engines out. The side tail fins even protect the engines’ IR signature a little. The plane also carries a lot more armor plating than most… Read more »

just a little ditty on cluster munitions and their ban.for anyone interested taken from glorious wikipedia………. The Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) is an international treaty that prohibits the use, transfer and stockpile of cluster bombs, a type of explosive weapon which scatters submunitions (“bomblets”) over an area. The convention was adopted on 30 May 2008 in Dublin and was opened for signature on 3 December 2008 in Oslo. It entered into force on 1 August 2010, six months after it was ratified by 30 states.

John and Justin great job on the video. It truly is a modern (relatively speaking ) marvel of technology. The Air Force keeps trying to put them in moth balls and then they realize they have nothing that can match the A-10’s capabilities.

I believe I’ll call in my A-10 flight using the military saying,” Go Ugly Early “. A friend of mine, who is a retired US Army Scout, told me that’s used when the aircraft in reference being called in is the A-10. Ground troups love the A-10 fly over!

Sort of like yelling out WOAAAAGGGGG!

I haven’t heard those words in a long time, I knew one pilot friend of mine had a very similar expression painted on the back of his flight helmet.
