The A-10's GAU-8 ammo round shown in #12 contains a depleted uranium core. When the GAU-8 is fired, it produces more thrust than the jet's engines. So if you could fire it long enough the plane might stall in the air. However there likely isn't enough ammo in the plane to do that.
Interestingly the A10 is very hard to shoot down. I knew a Col who lost half of 1 wing and most of his tail section. He still flew back and landed.
