About time. Now Putin will really get worried as this has been the only ace in his pack where Ukraine have been unable to match them. Lets hope they also get the ECM to go with it.![]()

Indeed. And today that would mean mobile and fixed SAMs are targeted by drone and satellite guided HIMARS before the A-10s arrive. MANPADS will still need to be accepted. But, us armchair generals aside, has anyone asked the Ukrainians if they want and can use the A-10?The thing to remember about the A-10 is that it was not designed to operate in a vacuum. It was supposed to operate in concert with top cover (ie fighters and interceptors) and SAM suppression platforms (ie Wild Weasel and other attack platforms).
I agree. By then no other nation other than perhaps Israel will have such a massive contemporary combat experience in NATO weapons and systems. By the time they're done the UAF will be teaching our forces. Yes, Ukraine will still have the issues with corruption and instability that precluded earlier attempts to join the EU, but removing Russia's influence goes a long way to fixing that. And as long as he can stay alive, the NATO and EU loves Zelinskyy. If Ukraine can take back the Donbas there's tons of natural gas and oil that can be offered to the EU as an incentive - which is Putin's plan to prevent.When the dust settles and Russia is cleared out of Ukraine (not a matter of if, but when), I see them becoming a NATO and EU member.
Who says that i wonder.The A-10 is absolutely not available for export.
We've read that Russian troops are made up mostly of conscripts from Russian vassal states and non cosmopolitan Russia. Should Georgia decide secede from the RU, I wonder what percentage of Russian troops in Ukraine might change sides.And as I've mentioned earlier, now is the time for Moldova and Georgia to act in expelling the Russians from their occupied territories.
With Russia's resources stretched thin and devoted to the war, they could easily sweep the Orcs out of their territory.
Here's a good artical about Georgia's sentiments regarding the war and their volunteer Legion in Ukraine.We've read that Russian troops are made up mostly of conscripts from Russian vassal states and non cosmopolitan Russia. Should Georgia decide secede from the RU, I wonder what percentage of Russian troops in Ukraine might change sides.
The SU-25's 30mm has 250 rounds.
The A-10's 30mm has nearly 1,200.
So...which one was said to be over rated?
sorry for weatherI'm now visiting Gdańsk, Poland and the pro-Ukraine sentiment is very strong here. Ukraine flags everywhere, and my guide telling me how proud they are to help Ukraine and how valuable they hold NATO. My wife, a Canadian born ethnic Ukrainian was happy to see it all.
Don't let it happen again.sorry for weather- Baltic coast is incredible when weather is slightly better than now
Don't forget the GAU-8 also has a much higher fire rate so needs to carry more. Either way though, people need to get over this almost phallic-like attraction to the A-10 and its gun. The fact remains that in a contested environment with both fighters and modern air defence systems (SAMs and guns), the A-10 would suffer very high losses.
