My guess is that the F-35 will to better against supersonic tanks.

Talk about comparing apples and rutabagas! The F35 is a FIGHTER -- fast-mover, air-to-air capable, with some ground support ability but mostly designed to establish and maintain air superiority. The A10 is THE premier ground support aircraft in history! Nothing compares to the Warthog's ability to shred tanks, obliterate convoys, and drive enemy troops deep underground to escape its deadly nose cannon and missile payload.
It would be like comparing an Abrams tank to a Landing Craft.

Will they evaluate the number of maintain -ance. Hours the very high tech f 35 will take vs. The very simple and rugged a-10?

From my Vietnam tanker perspective, the A-10 has always seemed like a prime Army asset.

It would be more logical to build an improved A-10, and in a sane world, cheaper.

Will it be a fair comparison or will they cook the books for the 35?
Fine time to be thinking about this now.
After how many billions of taxpayer money?

The only way to make this a fair trial is to
divide the cost of ONE F-35 by the cost of ONE A-10.
Then, put ONE F-35 up against that number of A-10s.

I hope this “showdown” is honest and without a pre-planned conclusion. It seems like comparing an apple to an overpriced 3 course meal made by 3 chefs who hate each other.
