No need to. There are a couple hundred sitting in mothballs at Davis Monthan AND Boeing has a pretty new capability for rewinging them.
My first thought is that this is a scenario tailor made to the A-10’s capabilites. Especially since it now has a self-designation capability with LITENING/SNIPER and the “C” model upgrades.
Funny how, whenever there’s been an attempt to get rid of it, some enemy pops up to show us just how much we need it.
