The A-10 seems to be the AK-47 of the air, though. Meaning it’s designed to work and be maintained in harsh and sub-optimal battle conditions.
Not to mention it’s battle proven.
Other than the AF wanting to retire it, there’s no reason why it couldn’t be modernized to some degree (like the guns).
So you may be right, but if the Army is willing to take it from the Airforce then the question is “why”.
