MK-48 Firefight With Danger Close A-10 Gun Runs

YT - "A MK-48 gunner is engaged in an intense firefight with 10-15 insurgents 50-100 meters away in Afghanistan. An A-10 is called in to engage with it's 30mm cannon on the enemy positions striking several times. The date and location of this event cannot be released. "

You can hear the A-10 rounds hitting well before you hear it shooting.

Fairchild, love the name, Thunderbolts are subsonic.
A friend's daughter is in the Stan on her third tour flying a Hog.


I think he means the rounds are supersonic which is why you hear them impacting before you hear them being fired. But most ammunition these days is supersonic (bar some pistol rounds like the .45) so it's not that special really, its just that the rounds impacting are usually closer to the camera than the A10s which adds to the effect. That A10 *burp* is damn awesome though.
