The A-10 Warthog is being used in a new role during Operation Epic Fury, with U.S. officials saying the aircraft is now targeting Iranian fast-attack craft in the Strait of Hormuz. That is a notable shift for a plane best known for close air support, showing how its long loiter time, heavy cannon, and ability to stay over a fight can also make it useful in maritime interdiction missions.
According to the report, the mission focuses on small, agile vessels used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard in a narrow and strategically vital waterway. Defense News also notes that U.S. forces have already destroyed more than 100 Iranian naval vessels during the operation, underscoring how serious the campaign has become. Source: Defense News.
