The fast movers saved the A-10. Widely deployed gun type ground defense systems ( considered the A-10s greatest vulnerability ) were proved the least useful by precision munitions dropped from the fast movers. Smart weapons aren't as costly or scarce as when the decision was first made to get rid of the A-10. Multi purpose AA systems that were once considered the A-10s Achilles Heel are joining the scrap heap of military history due to being proved a waste during both Gulf Wars. Most potential enemy's future Anti Aircraft systems are going to be improved AA missile based, which work better against the fast movers, almost passing the A-10 by. What was once considered the A-10s greatest weakness is now one of it's greatest strengths .
