If I may interupt this parfish exchange for a moment.

So much for the notion that open field warfare is a thing of the past.

As to replacing the A10 with some fast mover with rockets , its my experience that aircraft that can linger and react quickly to the changes of the moment. And can Still be heard to be in the area, Are more impactful to the situation on the ground.
