First of all... Those *are* cannon impacts. I know this because I am watching the video right now, with sound. You can hear the A-10 roaring in the distance, and the number of impacts hear are far greater than the number of dust clouds being kicked up. If any of you knew shit, you'd know the GAU-8 is rarely, if ever, loaded only with the Depleted Uranium slugs, and the majority of the dust kickup is cause by HEI. Or perhaps you knew and were just overthinking the issue, which I do all the time >_>
Anyways, those are cannon round impacts. Second of all, if I ever had to fly into hot airspace, I would certainly want my ass planted in that beauty. Seen images of an A-10 that took a Surface to Air Missle to the wing, completely blew out the wing, leaving only frame behind. The turbine sucked up all the debris, chewed it up, spit it out, and with help from its partner, still powered the pilot home. I think this is what Duce referred to. Impressive as it gets.
And yes, if the Airforce continues in it's current path, ignoring the importance of loitering, sustained firepower, then the troops on the ground will pay the price.
