Both sides seem to say the Russian helicopters are having success flying against ground targets; Ukrainians having difficulty shooting them down.

And yet, U.S. Air Force leaders say A10s can't survive on a modern battlefield because of antiaircraft weapons.

If Russian helicopters can fly and fight successfully, why can't A10s - especially in areas where F22s and F35s have established air superiority?

Seems like the Ukrainians are on the offensive now, so their air defense systems are not as mobile, that's my understanding.
