Even a lot of military folks despise the A-10 because “it’s old”.

What's their excuse for the KC-135?

Lot of military folks get out of the military and work for manufacturers. No interest in replacing refuelers

They want to reinvent the A 10 for the purpose of revenue

It’s a perfectly good airplanevwith multiple capabilities

Heck, the Colt M1911 is still in use as a sidearm, and it’s over one hundred years old.
