The air force has no intention of building a new armored plane to replace the A 10. The plan is to replace the A 10 with some kind of variation of the F35.
This reminds me when the air force built a fighter plane with no cannon because missiles are all you need. Now their bright idea is stealth is all you need. These paper pushers are as dumb as a door nail.
