I have no idea but they can be sourced from other countries which have them, But that is beside the point - the UA has said they do not want A-10s.

The A-10 is vastly overrated and most of what it is did is just an erroneous internet myth with no basis in reality. It is only useful in limited engagements in 3rd world countries that do not have anti-air systems and where air dominance is achieved, else they are just another target.

In a full scale war, as in Ukraine, they can risk getting no closer to the front than 10-15 km - like all other planes.

Ukraine has advanced 5-17 km in the Zaporizhya region, breached Russia’s first line of defenses and liberated over a dozen communities, according to the site Volya, citing Ukrainian and Russian contacts

Russian forces “can’t hold their positions and slowly retreat almost along the entire line of contact”

Russia has reportedly committed 40,000 troops from its reserves to reinforce its retreating forces

Ukraine is in turning pounding the lines of reinforcements and logistics with artillery, leading to shortages for Russian troops of basic supplies such as drinking water

Enemy authorities are preparing for the possible evacuation of occupied Melitopol, a key likely target of the Ukrainian advance to the south

Opsec note: The info above is already reported publicly and/or obviously known to the enemy
