Did you ever see that A-10 some female pilot was flying in Iraq? It was shot to hell...almost like a miracle she got back safe!

The Russians had a Stormovik return to base heavily shot up.

They counted 600 bullet impacts on it.

Another vid, demonstrating just how much punishment the A-10 can take -

The engines can ingest a lot of shrapnel, debris, etc. and keep going. Could an F35 do that?
