Ground Attack Aircraft
Ground attack aircraft are military planes designed to engage and destroy enemy ground targets, such as vehicles, troops, and fortifications. They are equipped with a variety of weapons, including bombs, rockets, and machine guns, allowing them to provide close air support to ground forces. These aircraft often operate at low altitudes to accurately strike targets while minimizing collateral damage.
Examples of ground attack aircraft include the A-10 Thunderbolt II, known for its durability and powerful cannon, and the Su-25 Frogfoot, which is designed for close air support in various combat scenarios. Their role is crucial in modern warfare, enhancing the effectiveness of ground operations.
