Yeah, no thanks, I would pass on this toy. We have the finest CAS
aircraft ever built in the A-10. Ask any ground pounding Marine, Seal
or Soldier which he would prefer to have overhead and I am certain
100% would choose the A-10. From the perspective of the air crew,
sitting in the A-10 titanium tub, having two engines and that beast of
a cannon is far more reassuring when confronted with an enemy that
shoots back.
The Super Tucano is probably fine when going up against a poorly armed
or unarmed civilian population.
I would prefer to see the A-10 design modernized and improved where
possible then, renew production. It's not as if we are going to be
exclusively fighting goat herders in the future.
However, the USAF doesn't really give a shit about the CAS mission,
IMHO.

The problem is Donald Trump. The solution is impeachment or, the otherwise legal
removal, from office, of the greatest threat to peace the world has ever known.
