The A-10 Warthog would prove to be an equalizer I would think?

ISIS had a run-in with a pair of A-10s a few weeks ago and the results weren’t pretty. The Warthogs mowed down several dozen terrorists, until ISIS decided to engage with some ancient SA-7 MANPADS. Guess ISIS didn’t get the memo that first-gen MANPADS are ineffective against front-quarter targets dispensing advanced flares.

When the SA-7s missed their marks and the A-10s sent a few more terrorists to their Virgins, the remaining fighters decided to call it a day. They executed a military maneuver know as The Big Skeedaddle, and left their dead and wounded on the battlefield. We need to turn the SOF teams loose, create a giant kill box across western Iraq and much of Syria and deploy every available A-10.

The members of ISIS that survive will get visas to migrate to the US.
