That didn't look like A-10 footage, more like gunship stuff. Either way, badass!

Awefully small area to be a CBU I would think. Maybe a TOT with ICM from a UAV?

It's been a while since my flight sim days, but that white dot is a 'locator'. It helps depict the orientation of the aircraft to where the camera is pointing. The camera can rotate all around, so it is often looking 90, 270, 180 degrees away from the aircraft's direction of travel. So, that dot helps the pilot (and film reviewers later) keep thing straight.... I think. I could be wrong, of course. |

How much do you think that cost?
If you take out 4 bikes with a 1 million dollar missle, it's not quite as impressive. |

ETA - at 51 seconds and 2:05, it appears to fly through the smoke. At other times, it appears to be locked in as part of the HUD. Also, it's thermally opposite of the motorcycles if it's something being observed and not part of the instrumentation. It must be some part of the HUD. I dunno. |

Holy overkill Batman if that was an A-10...
I wonder when they will start using those 100lb mini bombs that are being designed for taking out individuals or small groups. Not really a good use of ordnance to use a 500lb bomb or several hundred 30mm API rounds to kill 1-2 personnel. Not that I'm criticizing their actions, they can bomb as many of those dirtbags as they want

Most definitely an A-10. Initial footage (in color) was A-10 symbology. The remaining footage looked to be typically "Predator"-ish. Too small an area to be a CBU (not to mention no air detonations or CBU panels falling around the impact zone), if you've ever seen ground impacts from an A-10 Gun Run it would've been obvious what it was. The footage may not all have been from an A-10's guncam or HUD, but there was nothing in that video that came from an AC-130. The GAU-8A Avenger was doing ALL the work.
