The Iran war is what brought that respect without question due to our air and naval superiority. The biggest boon to this win was keeping the A10 warthog and modernizing it with new avionics, jammers, and low cost apkws rockets. The assertion to keep the A10, and the tests in this video, all point to the same thing, that this war has proved. That the A10 and F35s have complimentary strengths. The F35s are great at clearing high value radar and SAM sites, but not adequate for low level ground support and mop up operations in the weeds. The A10's lack stealth, make them highly vulnerable to radar and SAM sites, but when these are taken out, the A10 out performs F35s 15 to 1, when down in the weeds and can take a punch and keep pilots alive and keep flying. ThankQ President Trump for doing this, because it would have been scraped instead of upgraded. Attributes!!!
