    Hi!  I have 2 questions that I'm sure someone in this group can
answer for me. I am aware that the A10 Warthog jet is designed for
low-level attack runs over enemy armor and is therefore armor plated
to an extent. I know the pilot is pretty much surrounded by it but
what about the jet engine pods and the fuel tanks, are they armored
to? It is designed to withstand cannon fire up to 37mm I believe so
how thick does this require it to be? Thanks. Please reply by E-mail
as I don't read this group regularly.
