Meet one of the most sophisticated US Army combat planes (Photo)

The US military uses different airplanes for combat missions, but one of the most beloved of the army is the A-10 Thunderbolt II that is known as Warthog or Grunt, Business Insider writes.

This US air force aircraft is used for low-flying flights, and plays the role of assisted fighter aircraft that are moving at great speeds, but it is interesting how it is, despite its heavy weight, that it is very maneuverable, the Telegraph reports.

But what makes this plane unique is that on the tip of the "nose" there is a 30 mm caliber machine gun that can snap 3900 bullets within a minute, so that it is thrown by the "mouth" flame while flying.

Recently rumors have been added that he will continue serving for various military missions for several years, as the US Congress has allocated a $ 100 million sum to his advancement.
