The V-22 is used in the role of an advanced helicopter but with less ground attack capability than other helicopters.
The A-10 mission is ground attack, although it's taken on some roles as a small boat destroyer in the last few years.
The A-10 is increasingly susceptible to ground to air missiles, while at the same time fewer of our enemies have large quantities of tanks which the A-10 was designed to take out.
There may soon be a test of that theory on the border of Kuwait.
You did read where I wrote,
“ I do understand that the osprey has a role that’s different from the A-10.”
Right?
