A-10 Thunderbolt 30mm vs F-35 Lightning 25mm | GAU-8 Avenger Cannon Versus GAU-12/U Equalizer Cannon

So someone the other day told me that the F-35 is a great close air support aircraft and with its 25mm Cannon it can still provide strafing runs and fire support using it on ground targets effectively. Erm. OK. I would like to remind you we still use the A-10. And its doing a pretty good job lol! (Yes I know the footage shows the 20mm M61 Vulcan but its the best I could find lol) The General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger is a 30 mm hydraulically driven seven-barrel Gatling-style autocannon that is typically mounted in the United States Air Force's Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II. Designed specifically for the anti-tank role, the Avenger delivers very powerful rounds at a high rate of fire. The GAU-8/A is also used in the Goalkeeper CIWS ship weapon system, which provides defense against short-range threats such as highly maneuverable missiles, aircraft, and fast maneuvering surface vessels. The GAU-8/A is currently produced by General Dynamics. The General Dynamics GAU-12/U Equalizer is a five-barrel 25 mm Gatling-type rotary cannon. The GAU-12/U is used by the United States, Italy and Spain, which mount the weapon in their attack jets such as the AV-8B Harrier II, airborne gunships such as the Lockheed AC-130, and land-based fighting vehicles. A lighter four-barrel version, designated GAU-22/A, is mounted on F-35 Lightning II fighter jets. The GAU-22/A is a four-barrel version of the GAU-12/U designed for use on the F-35 Lightning II. The GAU-22/A's major difference is the use of four barrels, rather than the GAU-12/U's five barrels. The GAU-22/A is lighter and has a reduced rate of fire of 3,300 rounds per minute, but maintains the same, high accuracy of 5 milliradians, 80% circle of the GAU-12 and A-10's GAU-8. The weapon is produced by General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems. Hope you enjoy!! 💰 Want to support my channel?
