yeah.. the A10 will do well against pure fighters... nope, it won't. i'd rather be in a B2 and avoid the fight. The A10 is not made for the same type of mission

yeah.. the A10 will do well against pure fighters... nope, it won't. i'd rather be in a B2 and avoid the fight. The A10 is not made for the same type of missions thought. it can fight helicopters and ground forces, while avoiding light AA and light air support. funny how the planes here, like on youtube, are rated by reputation, and not by knowledge, experience, or dare i say, facts.

His point was that we have different planes for standoff air superiority against serious hostile fighter jets, and (implicitly) than the F-35 can be "good enough" for air-to-air while optimizing for it's air-to-ground mission.
