re: #340 Great White Snark

Guys the A-10 is screwed when it tries to fly low over modernish ground forces. The anti air environment is a total killer. Over Afghanistan ind Syria, fine. Fly that plane in support in airspace near modern anti air and it’s over very very fast. Seems missiles own that airspace in the modern v modern force.

Can you point me in the direction of the studies that lead you to that conclusion, would be interested in reading?

I think the A-10 is comparable to the Stuka in World War 2, it’s very effective, once you use other planes to take out everything that could be a threat to it, then you let it off the leash to have its fun/do its job, and I don’t think there’s been a more effective CAS bird in a long time.
