The warthog is the nickname for the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, although I wouldn't call it 'modern' for very much longer.
No, a warthog jet cannot land vertically. The Warthog, officially known as the A-10 Thunderbolt II, is a fixed-wing aircraft that lands conventionally on a runway. It does not have Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) capabilities like some other aircraft such as the Harrier jet.

Yes. "Warthog" is a nickname given to the aircraft by service members... it is correctly known as the A-10 Thunderbolt II (the original Thunderbolt was the P-47). Similar story to the UH-1 Iroquois, which became better known by its nickname ("Huey").

Yes and no... The A-1 (Skyraider) was used in the Vietnam war, how ever, it is not the Warthog. The A-10 Thunderbolt is commonly known as the warthog but it first saw combat in the first gulf war in 1991. (It was first deployed in 1976)
