**** “Even a single fly over with an A-10 could have broken the attack without a single shot fired.” *****

True

Problem is an A-10 doesn’t have the legs unsupported... doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen but the planning and coordination makes it unlikely, besides there were other assets nearby that could have worked just as well or much better, AC-130 Gunship that “was” there and could have ended it within minutes with a simple fly-over or cut loose with a flip of a switch and really ended it ... if only authorized to do so.

Fair enough.

A low altitude supersonic flyover by anything with the legs would accomplish the same assault breaking mission, only with broken windows and eardrums.
