I only ask as it would be interesting to know what targeting pods or should one say subsystem they were using and communicating to the ground troops with and what besides 1,000lbs bombs they used for this stellar performance.
....if the reports of a "stellar" performance as a CAS platform are true....
Green Flag is about a LOT more than close-contact CAS, and includes SEAD, SCUD busting, offensive and defensive Electronic Warfare, Cyber warfare, use of space assets, C3I, and lots more. Please don't let Congress's obsession with the A-10 distract you from what the TOTAL mission is.
