A-10 Warthog Just UNLEASHED On Iran LIVESTREAM | 6pm MT 15 Mar 2026

About this video

Max provides analysis of current US military operations involving Iran and surrounding regions, focusing heavily on the A-10 Warthog’s deployment against Iranian-backed militias in Iraq. He recounts his own experience intercepting Iranian aircraft near the Afghan border during his service, discusses Iran’s proxy network across Iraq and Afghanistan, and explains why the A-10 is well-suited for countering Shahed drone swarms. Max also covers geopolitical dynamics involving Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, China, and European allies, attributing strategic assessments and conflict details to his own analysis.

Key takeaways

• Max describes the A-10 as ideally suited for countering Iranian Shahed drone threats due to its low speed, maneuverability, and ability to integrate with other assets like F-35s and AWACS for targeting information
• Max recounts his personal experience as an F-15E pilot being scrambled to intercept Iranian aircraft (likely F-5s or F-14s) that crossed into Afghanistan before retreating back across the border
• Max analyzes Iran’s strategy as relying heavily on proxy forces in Iraq and Afghanistan while its conventional military capabilities have been degraded, and discusses Pakistan’s role in potentially checking Afghan Taliban support for Iran
