As the Allied war effort in Europe balanced on the knife’s edge of history in the spring of 1944, the fate of nations hinged not only on armies, airpower, and logistics, but on silence. The invasion of Nazi-occupied France, known as Operation Overlord, was the most complex and heavily guarded military operation ever conceived. Every detail, from troop movements to weather forecasts, was cloaked in layers of deception and secrecy. Within this tense atmosphere, even a careless word could undo years of planning and cost tens of thousands of lives.
This past week American and Jordanian forces carried out the second wave of a new campaign of major airstrikes against Islamic State fighters in Syria. Operation Hawkeye Strike so far has involved a range of aircraft ranging from fighter jets to close-air support planes.
And one of the aircraft that took part in the ongoing operation is “Samus.” Yes, as in Samus from the “Metroid” game series. Except this Samus isn’t a space-based bounty hunter in a power suit, it’s an A-10 Thunderbolt II — better known as a Warthog — that goes “brrrrrt.”
So far U.S.
