I don’t believe the F-35 can do what the A-10 can do. Those are two different planes with two different purposes.

I don't believe any other aircraft can do what the A-10 can do...

The Warthog can take a licking and keep on ticking!

I believe the picture in the upper left is an A-10 ambushed in desert storm. Shot to hell lost part of the tail and wing and still landed. Ground crew gave a standing ovation. The kicker is it was flown by a chick. God bless her.

If floats like a butterfly and stings like a tank. A 12’ 30 MM cannon does the job. It is literally a tank killing gun they built a plane around. Talk about ordinance envy.
