A-10D Super Greyhog
Heavy strike aircraft


A variant of the A-10C Thunderbolt II built under license by FlightArms CAC. It's flown by the Tactical Forces Military's Global Air Combat Branch.

Heavily armed, well armored, and well equipped. The Super Greyhog has seen countless sorties of ground-pounding across many fronts in the modern history of the TFM; being able to deliver a large volume of devastating firepower against surface targets pointed at by friendly boots, be it static or moving. The Greyhog's sturdy fuselage armor also grants it solid resistance against most enemy fire. From small arms to autocannon fire not exceeding 30mm

The Greyhog would earn it's legendary reputation over Syria in 2008, during a joint TFM-US counterterror operation against Al-Qaeda. A unit of TFM Paratroopers and U.S Marines took heavy casualties after they encountered a force of more than 200 militants in the city of Suwayda. A two-ship of A-10Ds were rerouted from their egress after conducting an airstrike over another sector. Both Greyhogs would provide air cover via strafing pursuing enemies for the unit who was now retreating, and ensured their survivability until they were picked up by transport helicopters to safety.

Multiple Combat Wings of the TFMGAC possess the Greyhog, with some deployed overseas attached to national garrison units to provide quick response airstrikes for the ground forces they work with.
