It seems a little late to do this now.

Short-range systems, MANPADs should have already been allocated to local air defense/infantry units because the aggressing aircraft could be shot-down anywhere inside Iran.

Opportunity lost to gain leverage.

I wish Iran could do more of these

and also Tomahawks

shooting down JDAMS would be ideal too

it would certainly reduce the hits on Iran

We dont know but A10 is a tank buster

and they are using this to secure Straits of Hormuz

but issue is Iran has many air defence embedded in the coast of Iran

so A10s will suffer and they only arrived a few days ago and 2 have already been shot down

I think US will now reconsider using A10 to secure the straits

That a 10 lives up to its name as a flying tank to get hit head on and the pilot surviving shows you why they haven’t retired these planes till this day for close air support
