What if the enemy has a 50 cal or 23mm AAA defense? Those CAS airplanes and pilots won't survive without a cobra/ Apache gunship or AC-130 on overwatch.Sorry USAF Generals, there is No substitute for the A-10!

Interesting, but not overly surprising LTC Ivan Raiklin, Esq.. The USAF has been testing smaller and older airframes for operations in Afghanistan including training Afghani pilots on them.
It reminds me that up to 1979 we trained Iranian pilots in this country.
