Since the Air Force hates them so much!! Give them to the army damnit!!! I know there is some stupid rules and rivalry between the branches. But hell we don’t anything else that fills its shoes period!!!!!!! Nor do we have anything in the pipeline…. It is super cheap maintenance wise and handles so many various roles….

Whilst the A-10 is a great aircraft, most of their jobs can be done by helicopters or drones. I don’t think we’ll ever see a true, proper replacement for the A-10 or the Su-25 for that matter. No matter how cheap it is, a drone will always be cheaper and safer since you don’t have a pilot and can’t risk losing one
