Two video episodes of the U.S. Air Force Airmen while conducting loading the ammunition onto the A-10 Thunderbolt II’s GAU-8/A Avenger internal system for upcoming exercises.

The ammunition loading system(GFU-8) is able to upload and download the 30mm rounds simultaneously, enabling the aircraft’s gun to be reloaded rapidly for upcoming missions. The GFU-8 loads over 1,100 30-millimeter rounds of ammunition.

  1. Would somebody please answer this question. I have very little knowledge of these things, and I would really love to find out.
    Why is so much made over the
    30mm gun in the A10, when virtually all Russian fighters have a 30mm gun.
    Believe me, I want ours to be better. But, other than holding more ammo, is the A10's gun
    a lot different? Please explain so
    I can shut up the russian guys in next apartment.

  2. Почему то стало интересно, А-10 стреляные гильзы на борту аккумулирует или по классике – выбрасывает за борт? Вроде как гильзы сохраняет…

  3. God in Heaven told me today, 16 August 2020: The sword 🗡️ will be much more crueler! For every non Christian, of course.

    /BEN, Prophet in the world 🗡️🛡️⚖️

  4. ground crew beating up the pilot was like: I spent 3 hrs loading the ammo and you wasted in 1 sec!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. They have to be at a certain altitude before they can fire the cannon because the rounds bounce off the ground, they have had planes come back with ricochet damage
