Can The F-35 Stealth Fighter Replace The A-10 Warthog? #shorts
2,822Can the F-35 Stealth Fighter Replace the A-10 Warthog? A unique and enduring place in history has been guaranteed for the A-10, due to its illustrious history of achievement in both the number of men it has safeguarded and the wars it has won. But, would the creation of new air-attack tactics make the A-10 less efficient and ultimately obsolete? The answer is NO, although the Air Force maintains that a number of aircraft, particularly the F-35, are perfectly capable of carrying out the CAS mission. Surprisingly, the F-35 is tactically suited for CAS despite being a multirole stealth fighter. The F-35 possesses the necessary speed and agility to effectively avoid enemy fire, in addition to having a 20-mm gun placed on the fuselage wing for ground fire. But can an F-35 resist incoming small-arms fire like an A-10 can? The F-35 may never need to be as close to its targets as the A-10 due to its range, the accuracy of its sensors, and its precision-guided air-to-ground munitions. Additionally, the F-35's advanced navigational abilities and stunning speed may lessen the danger of incoming ground fire.
