The A-10 Thunderbolt II is a US twin-engine attack aircraft designed for close air support. The later A-10C upgrade added digital avionics and precision-weapon compatibility while retaining the original airframe's distinctive straight wing and armoured cockpit.
AIM-9 compatibility is documented for relevant A-10 fits. No AGM-65 link is added because that missile has no catalog page.
