"The Warthog makes up in punch what it lacks in speed and maneuverability. A-10s are armed with a 30 mm cannon that fires depleted uranium rounds; it can destroy most modern, armored vehicles. It has eleven wing pylons and can carry ordinance in excess of sixteen thousand pounds at cruising speeds in excess of 625 km per hour. The A-10 is linked to ground commanders via the EPLRS tactical radio communication system which provides real-time data distribution for command and control, improved data exchange for CAS missions, and upgraded situational awareness."
