How many hits did it take to shoot an A-10 down, verses how many it would take to shoot an F-35 down in the same mission? A-10: lots, including rpgs. F-35: 1

How far can an RPG fly? 30 miles? That's where the F-35 will launch its SDBs.

The A-10 has to fly 2 miles from its intended target.

Short range SAMs, MANPADs and AAA are the threat.

F-35 will never get within range of any of them.
