Historical Significance:
The PGU-14/B Armor-Piercing Incendiary (API) round is a formidable piece of modern military ordnance designed to penetrate heavily armored targets and ignite upon impact, causing maximum damage. Developed for use with the GAU-8/A Avenger cannon mounted on the A-10 Thunderbolt II (commonly known as the "Warthog"), the PGU-14/B round features a depleted uranium penetrator that provides superior armor-piercing capabilities. The A-10 aircraft and its GAU-8/A cannon have been crucial in close air support missions, providing devastating firepower against armored vehicles, fortified positions, and enemy infrastructure.
