'Into the mouth of a bear': Ukrainian refugees being sent to Russia, their passports confiscated
Under a strategy laid out in Russian government documents, some Ukrainians are being transported to Russia's Far East, closer to Japan than Ukraine, and are being warned to tell nobody they want to return home.www.abc.net.au
If Ukraine is using Su-25's then the A-10 is a step up. I base this on my research on the "Growling Sidewinder" channel's A-10 videos.
And in the current situation, more M&R capabilities and larger stock of spares, I assume. Ukrainian industry struggled to modify and upgrade the small fleet of Su-25 since 2014, I don't think that situation is better now.The A-10 has a better design (engines above and partially shielded by twin tail-plates, which also provide redundancy), carries more weaponry, and has more armor. Roughly the same performance. Better avionics on the A-10 as well, not to mention the brrrrt factor.

Sorry, maintenance and repair. From my days in the shipping industry.Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean with "M&R capabilities"? I've not encountered this acronym before.

Putin and Zelenskyy deny health rumours, with both blaming disinformation
The Kremlin says claims the Russian President is unwell are the work of foreign disinformation operatives. Volodmyr Zelenskyy says similar claims about his own health are the work of Russian cyber attacks.www.abc.net.au
But the SU-25 has one advantage…. it's in service and readily available to the UAF. Our chatter on the A-10 on the other hand is purely hypothetical.The A-10 has a better design (engines above and partially shielded by twin tail-plates, which also provide redundancy), carries more weaponry, and has more armor.
