Do they use the hydras for engaging hostiles or for marking targets

>>34580796

l-lewd

why do they even bother carrying AGM-65s in the war on terror? what possible target would warrant being shot by a ATGM? All I can think of would be a fast-moving technical or truck.

Hydraulic fluid from leaks, oil from oiled parts, and greases from the landing gear, all follow the rules of gravity.

Plus what >>34581311 said.

ISIS has some heavy armor they captured from the SAA. Mostly T-55 but some T-72 as well.

Why would you use a plane to mark a target when you can just use the same plane to drop a bomb on it instead?

>>34581357
The Mavs does more than killing tanks

Hell if killing tanks is the only thing it does, there are lighter, cheaper munition for it

Because that plane is the JTAC. He needs to have full situational awareness at all times, as he is normally calling in other packets spotting targets.

The GAU-8A can take out a T-55 for a fraction of the cost of a guided missile, though.

Those are APKWS.

>>34581448
So use BRRRRRRT then. Like isn't that the whole point of the a-10?

>>34583788
Why would any western air force help the iranian and russian lap dogs?

the GAU can BARELY take on T-62s from the back and sides while T-55s are better armored from some vectors
its overrated af
quest for the fanboys : go on and research how much penetration the GAU has and now go look at armor estimations for modern tanks or armor values for older slav shit
its enough but just barely and definetly far from being the BRRRT finger of death that most fucks on /k/ seem to think
