    YES YES, Send more!!

    Due to work, I know so many people who love this plane. I can’t wait for it to get shot down or show up on a recording creating new business for U.S casket makers.

    Also most of it’s kills come from armaments not the civilian blaster-3000 at the front that your least favorite coworker loves the sound of.

    The A-10 was never meant as a long term close air support platform. Its role was being just armoured enough to survive getting hit by Soviet MANPADs as the plane desperately unloaded everything they had on an armoured coloumn advancing through the Fulda Gap before getting promptly shot down by intercepting MiGs.

    They were expendable flying tanks. Essentially equivalent to the Soviet Mi-24 gunship.

    Can’t wait to see those ancient buckets get turned to scrap.
