I want an A-10 drone version. Half the size and cost, but with all the same weapons capability.
US is still going to have boots on the ground all over the world. They need close air support.
At half the size, the aicraft would not be able to carry the A-10’s 30mm cannon.
I have a romantic love for the A-10.
But against any enemy more sophisticated than Arabs, it’s just a flying titanium coffin.
