The AC130 can loiter far longer than the A10

If you’re in actual uncontested air space the KING of close air support is none other than the AC-130 hands down!!!

Why doesn't the Air Force update them and then transfer them to the Marine Corp?

didn't the a-10 have the highest friendly fire rate over all?

Luke :
I genuinely cannot understand WHY people think the A10 is still a viable platform. is it cool? yeah. but its also designed for a war that never came. it cannot operate in contested airspace. it was designed to stop the flow of soviet tanks into the Balkans at a high damage and loss rate

I feel like I heard somewhere that the warthog was being replaced by the F15EX

I remember when some general said they were using the B1 as a CAS, like my dude there's no way

Dan Cook :
people forget the psycological factor of aircraft there was a case in afganistan of tornadoes flying low and fast as they ran out of ammo to be of assistance and just the enemy knowing they were there was enough to win the day the a10 and its cannon is of nothing else going to make any armour think twicw about moving even if its not the direct target of the burt just hearing it might be enough to make someone think twice

I love the A-10, It's a beast.. But I agree the changes in tech and available options has changed.. Many options are far cheaper.. As much as I hate to say it.. It is time to let her retire!

Wasn't the A-10 developed for tank killing? This would be helpful against China or Russia.

ya but those 10 to 30% of those 30% of times has a super cool brrrŕrt....Sure there may be equally effective platform but none of them go brrrrt.

Platforms like the F-35 and F-15 are worlds better than the warthog for CAS

I think you’re leaving out with psychological fact for allies and enemies. We’ve only used nukes twice, but look how effective it’s been psychologically

ISDAMan (Redux) :
You haven't touched the fact that no other platform can hit with the precision of the a-10. Close needs to actually be close.

when the airforce has been trying to get rid of it for years now, would they not purposely diminish their roles in cas missions?

We are all just salty because they are taking our known to work birds away and replacing them with Boeing garbage that barely works. 10>46.

The Abandoned Wingman :
I feel like itd be really cool with the new AI Wingmen, to have an Air to ground capability, if say there’s multiple TICs in an AO, the pilot could task out a drone to one tic and maybe the JTAC or GFC could take control of it through like a datalink system, ID the target for the drone and release ordinance on the target by the JTACs command so a human is making the decision to engage, then when theyre done they can give command back to the pilot

Mugsy :
What about the Sky Warden? Are they only limiting that to Special Ops? It really is one of the cheapest platforms out there since it comes from a crop duster and the loiter time is basically the same, if not, greater than the A-10 right?
