Re: They don't have to bomb them
I once had a go flying in an A-10 sim at a USAF friendship event. Pretty sure that was the first time I heard 'CFIT'. Having just demonstrating what it meant. At least I managed to walk away.
I think it'd be easier if we could obtain Su-25s instead given those are currently operated by Ukraine, and a lot of other operators. But they'd be flying into a very high threat from Russian fighters and air defences.
And I hope this also demonstrates a real need to keep the A-10, or a proper CAS replacement.
