… I feel like you could take out a an A-10 with just shoulder launched AA missiles? I would much prefer to be a helicopter in a high threat environment than an A-10 since you can more easily hide behind terrain as cover. I mean really, the difference between life an death is going to be the couple degrees of cover given by a ridge you get from hovering as absolutely close as you can to the ground as you get ready to launch a TOW… you don’t want to be an airplane in that kind of environment unless you are really fucking fast.
Warthog will take a stinger, half the tail falls off and it banks hard to the left. As it comes around, you swear the shark’s mouth nose art grins a little.
I’m fairly certain that if A10s were deployed in Ukraine, Zelenskyy would be in Moscow by now.

Nonsense, the Hog will take any missile like a champ and keep flying. Have faith!
