The air force should just give the A-10s to the army and let them run CAS. The zoomies have never wanted the mission anyway, and keep trying to kill the A-10 any way they can, including outright lying about its effectiveness vs. their proposed “replacements.”
The Army doesn’t want them.
If they really want slow, long lingering, low fuel consumption with higher payloads and low risk, then if they were being honest they would immediately rule out putting a human in it.
