Hey Guerra your icon is what Heath ledger looks like right now.

That is definitely an A 10 Thunderbolt. That is my all time favorite jet. It is mostly a US fighter, but it is also used by the Israeli military, and at least one more but it escapes my mind. It is used for ground assaults and it can whoop some ass, specially that gatlin gun on the front

Edit - for people old enough to remember. The Cobra Rattler on the original 80s GI Joe was an A 10

TO me the picture screams "Hey artist guy, but planes and boats shooting at stuff"

Everything is aiming the wrong way, those planes would run into each other, you dont shoot rockets or use a VLS for a target that's like 10 feet from ya.

I think that it's Tagruato's personal army in the picture, not the US.

Im pretty sure that what your looking through is a helocopter cockpit. Maybe a apache. Also an A10 gatling gun is rediculously strong. That thing can let off alot of rounds in a matter of seconds. They are usually called tank killers. I dont think that its a A10 though. Doesnt seem realistic cause a plance wouldnt fly that low to hit a target.

screw the whole lot of you for saying....

Also i wonder why the c 130 hercules wasnt deployed. The stoping power on that thing is amazing.

The planes in the upper left are F-22's...and of course the A-10.... And yes it would fly that low for a drill run.

Funny part is,,,ALL those planes are land based aircraft, so wherever this engagement took place, it would have to be in range enough so that these aircraft were relatively close by (combat range less than 300 miles) for them to engage so quickly.

I just have one question, where are the TIE fighters?

[olasnah]

Our military is really not equipped to deal with something like this, even if we could kill it with a very large conventional bomb.

Everything we have is designed around static targets and shock effect. This monster absorbed countless rounds of tank fire/artillery...shoulder fired missiles, sticks of 1,000lb bombs (only two hit?), etc.
Consider this tactically....A tank typically only carries about 40 rounds for its main gun. Anything firing artillery munitions might carry far less, especially in terms of missiles....general ammunition of all kinds would be gone after just a few minutes of near constant firing. Panicked soldiers and uncoordinated attacks would be bled dry and after each encounter our army would be retreating more or less unarmed. Aircraft would be next to useless because of their extremely limited payloads. The military would be 'forced' to at most do what it can to direct the creature's movements a bit...but could they? Obviously the monster did not like being fired at, but then it never retreated either, seemingly advancing 'into' the fire.
