But haven't you heard? The Air Force wants to get rid of the A-10!

But that's OK, because the T-14 Armata will stop itself!

You say that, but they ordered an additional 56 A-10 wing replacements (part of an order for 173) to increase the service life to 2035.

Turned out to be driver error. Factory rep. got in and drove it off without any further issues.

Good video though, lot of pull going on to have a tank recovery vehicle spin its tracks.

Any airspace around Russian ground forces will be a very hazardous area. Their forces bring more anti-air to the battlefield than we do.

A history of air superiority has its downside.

Eternally grateful that was a dimension we didn't have to deal with in the only war in which I participated.

Trust me, do some research and you will find that Gen Welsh and the rest of the USAF leadership would be more than happy to get rid of the Hog to fund the F-35! It's just that they are being forced to keep them, at least for the time being; but without congressional mandates you could bet your ass that the A-10 would be in the Boneyard faster than lightening...
