Yes. Russia has MRFs We have more that are considered MRFs than they. It is odd that most of what I have read do not include the A-10 Warthog. It has been dismissed as a relic yet it is a favorite of the ground troops because of the Cannon that the airframe is built around. It is a “non aircraft” as far as the Pentagon and The USAF is concerned.
F-15s, F-18s F-16s are included in the MRF category. Go figure.

I don’t think there is anything like the A-10 anywhere. But it is purely CAS and CAP. And I suspect it will NOT be out of service very long. It is too loved by the ground troops and too good at what it does.

And, I have always thought it is magnificent.
