      Regardless being what it is, I wonder why a few A10s couldn’t be leased to provide air support.

      Its a plane with little to no cutting edge technology, perfect for ground support and anti armor and entrenched positions.

        I agree and have heard stories of Ukrainians already training on them. But, I wonder if depleted uranium ammo might be a problem.

      Yet.

      It’ll take some 6 months but then they’ll start having air support and soon air superiority.

      However, Ukraine doesn’t have 6 months. They don’t know how the US election will go, it they will still have an ally in the US. They MUST press on so into the meat grinder they go.
