American attack aircraft A-10 Thunderbolt II take on Estonian air base Emari

On your page in Facebook The representative of the Estonian Air Force Command (and in Estonia there are Air Forces consisting of 8 aircraft, two of which are leased, several headquarters and airfields) Jaak Tarien wrote that the US will deploy several of their military aircraft at Ämari Air Base. We are talking about the American A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft. Tarien reports that the reports that appeared earlier in the press that the Americans decided to deploy their aircraft in Estonia are true.

It should be recalled that earlier the US Air Force command stated that the A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft would be deployed “to one of the European aviation bases ". Now it became known that such a base (at least one of them) will be the Estonian Emari.

Estonian edition Postemees trying to explain the emergence of American military aircraft in Estonia:

The United States is helping to strengthen security at a time when Russia continues its aggressive actions in Ukraine.

The first A-10 aircraft appeared in Émari today - 21 September 2015 of the year.

At the moment, the airspace of Estonia and other Baltic republics is “guarded” by Air Force missions from various NATO countries. The “guard” is, of course, conducted against the “aggression of Russia”. But after all, in essence, the finding of the American military in Estonia and the control of its airspace by European air forces is the real occupation, which Tallinn for some reason prefers to keep quiet about today.

An excursion into history.

Estonia has almost never been a fully free country. She was always under someone. Although, in principle, to say that “under someone” will not be entirely true. The Estonian people simply did not have their own statehood, there was not even a self-name. Old Estonian maarahvas is translated simply as “peasants” or “village”, because the cities in Estonia were built exclusively by occupiers. Estonia managed to capture the crusaders of the Teutonic Order, and the Danes, and Swedes, and even the Poles and Lithuanians (together) - the southern part, for a short time.
This country also participated, since Ivan the Terrible managed to take the oath of the population of a number of towns during the Livonian War (about which a whole chest with letters was preserved), and Peter I bought it without any bargaining for a certain number of gold efimks from the Swedes, exactly like the rest of the Baltic lands (despite the war won). It is on such a powerful foundation, dear Ann, that Estonian inseparability rests.

[Sergey-8848]

The goal, of course, is necessary, like any airfield of a potential enemy. But the outdated A-10 attack aircraft are no longer needed even by the owners themselves. It is simply not profitable to drive them home, so now let the Estonians take care of them and spend their own money, proud that they are the first outpost against the "Russian threat".

[marlin1203]

They were going to write off these "Warthogs". Although the A-10 is good as an attack aircraft. The cannon is so generally a beast! We have an analogue - SU-25, a real workhorse. The last hope of the infantry.

This is a dent from a collision with a bird. On planes, this does not happen. Just an old plane. It’s been flying for a long time. And the dent has been painted over for a long time, t.s. does not affect flight speed.

Well sobsna give on the airfield "Smerch". And yet, yes - they will not have time.

[dauria]

obsolete A-10 attack aircraft are no longer needed even by the owners themselves

Actually, the machine is well-designed. To be honest, at one time I was expecting something similar to the A-25 instead of the SU-10. Dual-circuit engines are spaced from simultaneous damage, the exhaust is "cold" and shielded by the stabilizer and keels. Access to replace engines is excellent. The chassis track is wide. The wing is thick and strong. And the armor and the cannon are my compliments. There is no radar survey of the earth, well, and ours does not. Here's a lower speed. What they were, what were ours guided by, I do not know. It is not outdated, what else can you think of for an attack aircraft?

[wild]

And what do you actually have after the rook ??? Their warthog where really fought then ??? Just do not give an example Iraq, I belittle you.

[Amurets]

The attack aircraft does not really need speed, especially if there is no radar of view and the sighting station can be put easier.

[basmach]

Actually, no. When a rocket is blown up near the engines, the likelihood of two defeats increases immediately (in Sushka they are spaced apart in the fuselage and armored, I saw a photo from Afghanistan Su with a right-wing engine dislodged in the trash, both would probably crash on the A-10). The stabilizer can not shield the exhaust. I don’t see LD, which is already a significant minus. The pneumatics are narrow and, most importantly, the front pillar is shifted to the right. In our school, there was an experimental Su-25 with a displaced strut to the right (the gun was supposed to be in the center — it didn’t go into the series — they said that it would lead to the landing when landing) So narrow pneumatics and a displaced strut indicate that it cannot be used from the field (read unpaved) aerodromes, which is unacceptable for an attack aircraft (according to the norms of the USSR Air Force, attack aircraft had to be based at a distance of 50-60 km from the front line, where there is not always concrete)

To the regret of one referendum, well, so that NOBODY WASTE AS LITTLE IN THE CRIMEA DE YURO! Alas, Russia cannot carry out the Kosovo precedent - there is no such media resource. BUT - if it is possible to LEGIMITIZE the power in the republics, to which in fact all the "Minsk" were aimed - FORCE Kiev to talk directly with Donetsk and Lugansk, then yes - you can do it. as you can see - Kiev ALREADY does not recognize the elections and refuses to conduct direct negotiations, even this Kuchma signs documents - "the second president of Ukraine" - that is, ANY pensioner can sign, that's all the legal value of these "documents", so so far only the guarantors somehow manage to keep Petsya in the stall.

But, in fact, the presence of the American military in Estonia and the control of its airspace by the air forces of European states is the real occupation, which Tallinn today prefers to keep quiet about for some reason.

The United States is helping to strengthen security at a time when Russia continues its aggressive actions in Ukraine.

I honestly laugh. Not even a few stormtroopers (experts say the A-10 Thunderbolt II, a pretty good car) will not do any weather, and play the role of sedative pills for the Baltic states. I laugh at how this is presented to local Aborigines, is it really that everything is so neglected that politicians, even dwarf states, are so limited and the people are duped by tolerance and other benefits of Western civilization?

Type I laugh a lot

[K-50]

The United States is helping to strengthen security at a time when Russia continues its aggressive actions in Ukraine.

Yes Yes!
This is because Russia does not come out of wars around the world since the beginning of the last century
If it were not for this "strengthening of peace" how many civilians would be left to live and live, how many cities and villages would survive, how much more peaceful life would be.
Yes, only all this will come back to haunt the mattress, already its inhabitants will have to suffer from the "peacefulness" of neighbors and other countries.
What measure you measure, the same measure you measure!

[olimpiada15]

Declaring their independence, some former Soviet republics in fact turned out to be just prostitutes, whom the West uses as he wants, when he wants and how much he wants.
Estonia, which placed American aircraft at its base, was held hostage by other people's ambitions.
Recall that the states never leave the place where they were allowed to go once, does not allow the poor mind to understand what they are exposing the country to retaliation.

What a hysteria about the fact that we delivered planes against the Isil terrorists, and the silence in the media that the United States is transferring its attack aircraft to our borders, they obviously do not mind our neighbors

[Yarik]

A little fresher than the P-47 Thunderbolt

[Geser]

"Thunderbolt" is good only when the enemy does not have air defense systems, then he will be able to shoot with impunity. And so even "Shilka" will grind it into powder, not to mention "Tunguska", "Thor" or "Pantsir". As for our Su-25, unlike the "warthog" it went through such a school of battles in Afghanistan that an American never dreamed of. Our Rooks were shot even from above, they could withstand a hit from the Stinger. And the firepower of the Su-25 is much greater than that of the Thunderbolt. It is curious to know how these "warthogs" showed themselves in Afghanistan, how many of them the Americans lost during their entire presence in Afghanistan.

[nikcris]

Drying fire power is noticeably lower. I’m telling you like a real patriot. But drying is survivable)))

[Geser]

That is why if I am offered a choice, I will choose the Su-25. It is more armored and maneuverable than the Thunderbolt. This means that the chances of surviving in battle are much higher.

[NOMADE]

here I am about the same;)

[Wedmak]

In vain you are so, A-10 is a very good attack aircraft. True, he has one feature unlike our Su-25. The A-10 is actually built around its 7-barrel gun. Neither remove nor replace with a new one is impossible. And since with the advent of MANPADS and quick-fire anti-aircraft guns, cannon attacks became a direct route to the ground for him, the Americans can equip him with missile and bomb weapons. And he carries a gun with him. Often without ammunition.

[Manager]

Oh, what a spectacular gun!
In any case, I like the warthog! Do not let not take!

trunks and mechanisms 100%

[Engineer]

Due to what is more firepower? In the rifle, it is definitely weaker. In the front hemisphere, A-10 engines are covered by wings, and the Su-25 suffers more from the same Shilka. So that does not need to be invented. Here we had a project of a flying tank, which is really better than the A-10

[Wedmak]

Due to what is more firepower?

1 × 30-mm GAU-8 / A seven-barreled gun with 1350 30 × 173 mm cartridges against one double-barreled 30-mm GSh-30-2 double-barreled gun. Stupidly more volley weight.

[Engineer]

Why are you writing this to me? I know it. I asked my opponent why he believes that the Su-25 has more firepower.

[Wedmak]

Missed a little. It happens. )))

[NOMADE]

Yes, it was a good option. but a lot - but. ((originally, there was the concept of a light front-line attack aircraft .. that did not materialize and gradually grew into - su -25. but this is a separate and interesting story.

[good_soul]

I agree to 100 pounds!

[NOMADE]

let's not "urya !!". yes, our su-25 are good, but it's a different class. warthog, this is a plane / glider around a great cannon (gau 7 like) that fires depleted uranium shells. it was done against our tank forces (t54, 62, etc.). By the way, he showed good survivability in "local" wars. this is a very serious and strong apparatus, especially with modernization. Fortunately, this amount is generally not even enough, this is so - "the psychology of support for the allies")) now, if there were many times more of them with the support of fighters, etc., then yes, there would be a fairly serious local danger.
and so, the attack aircraft itself is very good!

[nikcris]

Nice plane. Goes off with a bang. Although the engines are "behind the back". It helps from rockets, but not from zushka.

[opus]

Quote: nikcris

It helps from missiles, but not from snows.

almost incredible durability: it is able to fly, even losing a third of the wing, half of the tail and one of the two engines

the plane under the control of a female pilot Kim Campbell suffered serious damage (hydraulic system failure, one engine was damaged, hundreds of holes in the fuselage, wing and tail of the car), but was able to reach its own airfield. After the completion of the active phase of hostilities and the beginning of the partisan war, A-10 aircraft continued their sorties.

[doc67]

What a powerful air force Estonia has! If you combine them with the Latvian and Lithuanian air forces, and even your American friends will drop some flying junk, and even if you rent a few more planes, then they can withstand such powerful powers as Sierra Lyon or even Papua New Guinea!

Rook Su-25 can fly without one engine

[NOMADE]

I agree, an excellent attack aircraft, but a -10 can also. it is not entirely appropriate to compare these machines, since different weight approaches, and schools. and so, obi cars are good. su -25 - "muhach" (lightweight ...), and -10 - (heavy ..)))

[Maksus]

Strange, after the appearance of shock drones, there was information about the decommissioning of the A-10. And now they are thrown forward again, are they afraid of our electronic warfare? That's right, it’s not to drive bare-headed illiterate Arabs through the desert.

[31rus]

It is a few A-10s, just to indicate presence, no Iskander is needed, Smerch is not necessary, in case of something serious they will be taken to the rear, for a simple reason, our fighters do not leave the slightest chance or the air defense will destroy

[Zaurbek]

A-10go cannon shoots farther and more accurately than GS-2-30 and can withstand long-term firing without overheating. And about the need for such a tool, time will tell. I think without such a tool it was possible to add other, more useful options. The gun and its return to PPC eat up weight!

[NDR-791]

Tarien reports that press reports earlier that the Americans decided to deploy their planes in Estonia are true.
12 aircraft (squadron) and 300 people for their maintenance. Che is too much human. But in fact, they say correctly, it's just "caring" about the younger brother, so that they would cry less. And about myself, loved ones - so that the Congress would see that the budget cannot be cut in any way. And one squadron doesn’t do anything. That there were 8 of them of different types, that 20 will become even more diverse.

[16112014nk]

4 Russian helicopters in Syria, thousands of kilometers from the US guard, Russian aggression, a threat to security around the world. 10 attack aircraft in Estonia, on the border with Russia, strengthening the security and stability of the world.

About three weeks ago, they flew over my dwelling. The eye height was 300 meters, in pairs, and one at a time (it seems that they sat down in Lielvards, there was our former military airfield, the NATO type expanded and upgraded. I was struck by a very strong whistling of the engines (not a hum, namely a whistle ) I saw the planes only three minutes after the appearance of the svsta. Another size hit (very large, almost like the SU-27).
