| Apr 14, 2017 at 16:35 | comment | added | Joe Kissling | @MozerShmozer it would certainly be tricky, but even lining up one shot will be challenging so being able to put 60 of them per second should improve the odds. | |

| Apr 14, 2017 at 16:32 | comment | added | MozerShmozer | @JoeKissling My one concern with the A-10 (or any gunship, for that matter) is that if the creature is downtown or in an area with tall buildings it would get pretty difficult to line up shots. I doubt it would be impossible, but it's an extra complication that makes me uncomfortable. | |

| Apr 14, 2017 at 16:31 | comment | added | MozerShmozer | @Mormacil New York, mate. First line of the question. | |
| Apr 14, 2017 at 16:23 | comment | added | Mormacil | What does it eat? And where is the dragon? The US would respond very differently from England, South Africa or Japan. | |

| Apr 14, 2017 at 16:04 | comment | added | Friendlysociopath | @JoeKissling Remember that the first goal is to minimize civilian causalities/property damage and the second goal is to take the dragon down as soon as possible. Edited description slightly to indicate human knowledge of the dragon | |
| Apr 14, 2017 at 16:02 | comment | added | Joe Kissling | @MozerShmozer to add an RPG or HEAT round would work nicely too | |
| Apr 14, 2017 at 16:02 | comment | added | Joe Kissling | Then all they need to do is wait for the dragon to sleep, sneak close to the chamber with as much explosives as possible. Trigger a few to collapse the tunnel leading to the chamber then detonate the main charge. | |
| Apr 14, 2017 at 16:01 | comment | added | MozerShmozer | You say a .50 cal will not pierce the hide, but what about Armor Piercing ammunition. .50 BMG AP can go through scary amount of armor. There are also anti-material munitions bigger than .50 cal (20 mm for example), though getting one on short notice might be a challenge. | |
| Apr 14, 2017 at 15:58 | comment | added | Friendlysociopath | It's actually fairly heavy (joke). But it would sleep through most noise, only waking if it felt like its chamber had been breached or it was being attacked by something powerful enough to hurt it. | |
