Yes, but when a drone can spot and gps map a target for a HIMARs 100+ km away to strike with utmost precision, all whilst keeping the men and equipment safe… why do you need an A-10 in place of a F-16? The one role the A-10 can do best, CAS can be done well enough by modern tech, whereas the F-16 can do everything else.If you get a chance, look up what the A-10 carries in the way of ordnance besides it's cannon.
It's literally a flying dump truck (which also includes self-defense hardware like the AIM-9).
No information yet in the open sources.But I'd like to see more from Canada. If the Germans won't support Leo2 transfers, let's send more of our Canadian-produced LAVs, for starters. Did this prior commitment below arrive?
I have, GrauGeist. I'm a bit of an A-10 fanboy!If you get a chance, look up what the A-10 carries in the way of ordnance besides it's cannon.

Estonia is top 1 regarding military assistance per capita, GDP % and military budget %.
Isn't this tank an "open box/almost new"? See, it's not painted, just bare metal."Lightly used, some dings, 8.5/10. Not mint."
That's how it works buying guitars online, after all. Meanwhile:

Probably the same eBay asshole.
Actually, it's a good point. RUMINT says that middlemen were very active since February and delivered, for example, a lot of 152 mm munition. Probably art pieces and light weapons as well. Now some Ukrainian foundations are allowed to import lethal weapons. Taras Chmut from Come Back Alive mentioned in one interview his meetings with people that were like from the Lord of War movie.Let's just keep scooping up and sending to Ukraine the world's MiG-29 stocks until the F-16 can enter UAF service. India has MiG-29s, including license-built versions. A middle man bearing cash would given India both incentive and plausible deniability.
Baykar confirmed that a fighter UAV is in their plans.The TB-2s can fly top cover for A-10s. Only half joking as there seem to be more Bayraktars now and flying into combat zones. I get a big kick out of looking at those SAM radars getting zapped.
So why was the Su-25 (seen hammering Russian positions in the video) being used instead of a drone?Yes, but when a drone can spot and gps map a target for a HIMARs 100+ km away to strike with utmost precision, all whilst keeping the men and equipment safe… why do you need an A-10 in place of a F-16?

However, I wouldn't be so sure about it. I'm not a supporter of Russian or Ukrainian propaganda either, but I clearly see that the situation at the front is far from favorable for Ukrainian army. Maybe only on Twitter or Telegram.If I'm a Russian soldier sitting in Kherson who hasn't been properly paid, equipped, fed or led for months, and who has no idea why I'm here, or what the mission is…. when the UAF arrives I'm either surrendering or swimming the Dnieper.
Just breaking your words downRussia can't widely use its airforce due to still strong Ukrainian airdefence and shortages of precise munitions. And in its turn the Russian airdefence is not weaker at least, so UAF have no chance to make an impact on the battlefield.
And I wonder how much was also squandered away in Syria?and shortages of precise munitions
Russia started the war with an overwhelming advantage in long range precision weapons, They have a shortage because they wasted them on non military targets trying to terrorise the civilian population. Now Russia has a shortage and by definition are worse off than at the start.

Putin's "Useful Idiots"PRAGUE, Sept 3 (Reuters) - An estimated 70,000 people protested in Prague against the Czech government on Saturday, calling on the ruling coalition to do more to control soaring energy prices and voicing opposition to the European Union and NATO.
Organisers of the demonstration from a number of far-right and fringe political groups including the Communist party, said the central European nation should be neutral militarily and ensure direct contracts with gas suppliers, including Russia.
