P136 CEEFAX 136 Thu 31 Jan 21:59/32 US CLAIMS NEW AIR SUCCESS US military officials claim the tank- destroying A-10 aircraft has proved its worth in the battle around Khafji. The A-10, maligned by some for its lackof speed, was used yesterday and destroyed about 14 tanks, they said. No A-10s were shot down, and they will now play a major role in the expected intense land war, said the officials. The plane was designed in the 1970s from lessons learned in the Vietnam war, and first deployed by the US in Europe to counter Warsaw Pact tank superiority over Nato. 101War headlines 130Gulf military Next News GulfIndex Headlines Newsreel
