About the A-10, take a look at how many bullets the F-35 carries versus the A-10’s. We will miss the A-10.
More fixation on the gun.
The F-35 will have speed, stealth (when slick) and a far better EO system than the A-10 will ever have.
Face it.
The A-10 is great for CAS, but isn’t capable of hanging with the big dogs in contested airspace.
The F-16 dropped far more ordnance in Iraq than the A-10 did. And dropped it closer and farther out.
