Okay, so they’re stealthy.

It’s still foolish to strap on a gun pod and pretend they can do the work of an A-10.

But the A-10 may not be able to do the work of an A-10 against modern air defenses.

Just like it’s foolish to send the A-10 into contested airspace. The A-10 has its role, but not in a modern, challenged environment.

Agreed!

It's a classic Attack platform with some air-to-air built in.

It's a replacement for the F-16 fer crisakes.
