For the first few days of something major, an A-10 would have a tough time, given the systems that potentially would be in place and gunning for the low and relatively slow.

Then again, who wouldn't be having a tough time at that point in the game? Those first days, and all that come after, are what the A-10 was designed for it, with a track record to back it up.

Given that we are using extraordinary machines with extraordinary price tags to shoot extraordinary weapons with extraordinary price tags at relatively low tech, "cheap" targets, that's quite a compliment to the target!

Nice to be made of money or have a printing press for that sort of thing, but I'd like to spend some now to spend less later. You know, "for the children".

Personally, I'd like to see an A-10 makeover and step that bad girl into this century dressed up in all we've learned about modern materials for battlefield survival since the cold war.

Then, you'd have a nice cost effective, down and dirty compliment to the high dollar, fast moving, soft target toys the air force likes so much.
