The A10 has to be one of my favorite weapons platforms ever. It's completely ridiculous and unnecessary and completely American.

Simultaneously I think it might be one of the most specialized tools ever built for war. It goes 'BRRRRT' and tanks explode, but that's basically all it's good for.

Kb I'm asking totally unironically, how could you possibly try and justify using a dedicated anti-armor jet platform to fight jungle guerrillas? It sounds like a part of a Civ game.

Is this just technology flexing Empire dick waving? Or did someone really have a honest plan to shoot bullets the size of bread boxes at narcos?
