I had the privilege of living close to a warthog home , seeing them in training manuevers etc.This show simply doesn't convey the aerobatic capabilities of this beautiful , and simple , weapons platform.It's a flying ballerina wearing big plates of armor with grace.

@Lagerkungen I don't think those 2 things make it a better attacker.
the difference in speed is less than 80mph for top speed, and after 500mph, that difference is negligible til supersonic is part of the talk. The a-10 carries 4 times the gun ordinance, rounds with far more destructive concussion, and lots more payload on its wings. The a10 has DOUBLE the altitude range, and is more heavily armored with more redundancy. I believe it has better stall performance, too...

@F35lightII the su 25 is probably in the same ballpark for CAS , not sure its better but its in the same game.

Wonder what they're going to use after 2025. Maybe a new airframe based on the A-10 design? Because seriously, it's built to do a job, and it does it well.

how is "sammy's virtual sex machine? related to this?

what a load of bullshit propaganda xD

A very effective aircraft.
The A-10 is the coolest looking jet in the world in my opinion and there's nothing else better for close air support.
