the A10 is getting deadlier. Adding laser guided rockets!

Nothing new. They just adapted some dumb bombs to save money on those hellfires, which are overkill unless it is an actual tank.

This aircraft is pretty bad ass. Too bad it couldn't shoot lasers too!

When I was at Camp Able Sentry we had an A-10 come in missing half a wing, and missing one engine. The A-10 is one hell of an aircraft.

It’s too bad the Army was such a late adopter of the APKWS. OH-58Ds would have had a blast with these things.
See what I did there? |

I am disappoint in your clickbait title.
 Was hoping for a variation on "sharks with laser beams on their foreheads".  |
