Overview
Dubbed "The Death Angel" by Voshkod, "The Zemurian Black Death" by the Brotherhood (under ADI service), "Sand Vulture" by Elona and "Eagle's Claw" by Encantadians, the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II (nicknamed the "Warthog" or simply the "Hog") is designed as a close-air support aircraft for counter insurgency purposes that was introduced in 1970s V.C. This bizarre looking aircraft, which is shaped like the Chinese Word "士" (lit. meaning: Soldier) and powered with two conventional turbofan engines near its horizontal stabilizers, is different compared to fast and nimble strike fighters; instead it's slow and sluggish. However the A-10 is known for its incredible resilience and its low speed allows it to linger over the battlefield for longer periods of time and provide firepower for Aquila and ADI ground-based troops.

The A-10A, the one currently used by the Zemurian Raiders, plays the role of a bomber than a Attacker that the A-10C does for Aquila. Unlike the Aquilan version, the ADI version can also carry Air-to-Air missiles to defend themselves from enemy aircraft when upgraded
