And yet I’m told here repeatedly, the US A-10 fleet that the Air Force has wanted to scrap for many years is absolutely useless to Ukraine and has been since the very beginning. Because in order to use it you must have absolute air superiority in the area you are deploying it from to where it would be used or it will immediately be shot down. Can anyone here weigh in on this again? That it is a great limited application aircraft but only by forces who command total air superiority throughout its use?
