And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Just went to Cannon Range open house where the A-10s from Whiteman AFB do live fire training. They fly in at treetop level and fire at various targets downrange. The spectator area is close in and the Brrrt will resonate thru your chest. The pilots put on quite a show and fly low enough for you to see them. Cannon Range is attached to Ft Leonard Wood in central Missouri. Biggskye in Missouri
Friend worked at a plant that produced the 30mm depleted uranium projectiles for that gun, visiting him at lunch break on 2nd shift, he grabbed a defective bullet from inside, came out to show us something really cool about them. He walked up out of the loading dock, good ways out in the parking lot, and threw it down the ramp, when it hit the pavement decent amount of sarks flew off it, and a tiny shower of sparks when it smacked into the cement at the dock, he picked it up and showed how the surface of the projectile was still in perfect smooth condition, not a mark on but a little dust that wiped clean. They must have some super high hardness to stand up to the quartz in the cement and asphalt. We where all impressed, threw the thing near a dozen times and it remained in perfect condition. Rather heavy too. I could see why that gun is so effective, lot of kinetic energy from making such a round travel so quickly.
Read how the Russians seriously despise the use of DU ammo, they use radioactive free tungsten instead, they do not use depleted uranium rounds, because they create a dust that poisons everything, also they claim NATO likes them because of that exact reason, all part of depopulation plans, the Israeli's have dusted large areas of Palestinian and lebanese lands, because they found ling term it causes brain damage and stunts farm crops, in this way they create depopulated zones where nobody can live off the land for a couple generations. I believe that too, because it fits a pattern over time of constant low level human depopulation, just add in the jabby jabby thing to the equation, its long term cause of death spiking up where it was forced on people. Its total psychopaths who secretly rule over us who cause these things.
I loved it when we had one above our position in Germany, doing circles and being completely quiet. I knew they had my back when the time came. Saw a training film also in Germany (1978). The A10 let loose on a tank and all I could think was "where did the tank go?"
I wonder what the cost of ammo is.
ReplyDeleteApprox. $30-40 per round depending on type
DeleteI couldn't see any spent casings falling from the plane.
DeleteMaybe they save them for the deposit.
Spent casings get fed back on conveyor belt to the ammunition drum
DeleteI was a weapons loader for 2 years at RAF Bentwaters on A-10s. Th e casings were aluminum at least in 1980
DeleteWhen you need Close Air Support, you do not question how much ammo costs. Instead, you cheer like crazy when a Warthog shows up.
ReplyDeleteIt was just a question.
DeleteGood question. But what ever it costs we're paying for it whether the Feds have to print more money or raise your taxes, either way.

ReplyDeleteMy collection of a 9mm, 50 cal , 20mm and a 30mm round
It's all fun and games until that gun system jambs then some crew has to fix it.
Missing the sound.... Just saying.

ReplyDeleteOur men in green should get some fun for all they go through. Obviously a training mission unless they were eradicating moles
ReplyDeleteDisagree about the video being a training mission. It looks AI generated. Dust isn't acting right, neither is the muzzle. IMHO.
