I can’t get enough of pictures of the flying tank A-10 Thunderbolt, and Today’s Photo shows one which is providing simulated close air support during urban combat training in Skrunde, Latvia.

These pictures were taken during the exercise Saber Strike 18.

Above: Note the grenade launcher on the carbine.

Below: Not sure what this strange shooting position is called, but I guess if you don’t want to expose yourself during CQB in a window.

Below is a video from Saber Strike 18.
