>>2509700I'm on the side of the argument that the F-35 is an overpriced turkey and in the event that a country like Russia starts a war it's not going to hold it's own against Russia's air force.
The A-10C is already an upgraded variant of the A-10A from the 70's, and the A-10C upgrade happened in 2005 so they're still very much up to date aircraft. Also consider Russia copied Northrop's model in the A-X competition and made their own Su-25 Frogfoot with the design, which makes it a very close cousin to the Warthog. Just goes to show how valuable a dedicated attack aircraft can be. My money's on the US keeping it.
