Bridges, Buildings, Supply Dumps, Bases, etc.
---------------------------------------------
Structures such as these can be engaged with the Paveway LGB. However, before
dropping an LGB on one, make sure that the mission objectives call for it to
be destroyed. Taking out a bridge which US forces plan on crossing is not a
smart tactic.

Airstrips
---------
Airstrips controlled by the enemy can be destroyed with the Durandal.

DEFENSIVE WEAPONS SYSTEMS
=========================

ALQ-119 ECM Jamming pod: This pod hangs on the outside pylon of the left wing
of the A-10. It has jammers which can temporarily confuse the radar
acquisition systems on SAM launchers. This gives the A-10 pilot a little
extra time before hostile SAMs launch. Jammed launchers are indicated by a
blinking dot on the RWR.

Flare: This is a small heat-emitting decoy that the A-10 pilot can release.
It will sometimes fool an incoming infrared-homing SAM into tracking it
instead of the A-10. It's useful against the SA-9 and SA-13.

Chaff: This is a cartridge which releases a cloud of small tin foil strips.
The cloud will reflect enemy radar and blind it for a few seconds. This will
sometimes give the A-10 enough time to escape an incoming radar-guided SAM
(such as the SA-6 and SA-11).
