Attack aircraft are military planes designed specifically for ground attack missions. They are equipped with a variety of weapons, including bombs, missiles, and machine guns, to engage enemy forces and destroy targets on the ground. These aircraft are often used in close air support roles, providing assistance to ground troops during combat operations. Typically, attack aircraft are built for speed, agility, and durability, allowing them to operate effectively in hostile environments. Examples of attack aircraft include the A-10 Thunderbolt II and the F/A-18 Hornet. Their design focuses on maximizing firepower while minimizing vulnerability to enemy defenses.
