That’s why they’ll kill it from 40 miles out.
Or even 5 miles with a Sidewinder.
Any competent fighter pilot would take the fight to the vertical using speed and ability to climb. Doubt the Warthog would have much of a chance.
The A-10 also carries Sidewinders as well as an Electronic CounterMeasure (ECM) pod to fool or jam incoming missiles.
Sahib can put a sidewinder on his Cessna.
He can also put a Silkworm antiship missile on it and take out a destroyer.
It doesn’t mean his air platform is superior. The naval corollary is the USS Cole incident where a destroyer was taken out by an inflatable lifeboat.
