Russia and Ukraine

[The Architect Of Fate]

The A-10 is  overrated. The F-111 Aardvark was better at the A-10's job as a tank hunter  and a ground attack plane during desert storm.

Disagree. F-111 has low loiter time, less-robust frame, granted higher-speed ingress and egress, but it's a bigger and more fragile target. More expensive to maintain and operate too, plus it lacks design features specifically tuned to ground attack such as armor around the cockpit, separated engines, twin tails, and so on. Fewer hardpoints too.

In Desert Storm, most F-111s were EF-111s providing ECM for strike packages, while the others were mainly doing airfield suppression, dropping Durandals to wreck runways, rather than providing direct ground support.

I'll concede my argument at it being better in a general ground attack role. But it was a better tank hunter then the A-10 as it did destroy more armored vehicles then the A-10.
