The A10 is the infantryman's guardian angel. It can take off from dirt roads , give hell to the enemy with its GAU 8/A Cannon and other weapons, take heavy punishment and fly back to base with only one wing or engine. The placement of the engines is also deliberate. This aircraft can pulverize tanks. And the fuel tanks are carefully protected. And this beast has been upgraded. Full glass cockpit, networking capabilities etc.We have to fight in plains on the entire western border, which includes deserts of Rajasthan and Gujarat. And in forested areas of the north east of which parts are hilly but nothing which the A10 can't handle. If this plane is produced, I would say , India should go for it .

[@ppen8359]

Why are you discussing all this when A-10s are not even manufactured, and almost all are at the end of their lives? The US Air Force is already running A-10s by extending their lives. It was a great plane, but it is also a plane that is way past its expiry date.

[@sharmavarun]

For the first time today I do not agree with your concept. India truly needs CAS aircraft. Mountains me bombing easy nahi hai, too high and you get picked up by ground radar, too low and you face terrain danger. Most of the targets are and will be in valleys and regular bombers including Jaguar are too fast to pass them before accurately targeting them. Helicopters can hover but sacrifice is with payload and survivability. Remember Black Hawk Down? The latest Ukraine- Russia conflict have also shown this. We need a A10 like low speed, heavy payload, highly survivable air craft. May be a derivative of Trainer Hawk or upcoming Marut or A totally new design from scratch.

[@Jat-yn5ch]

Do you even know jags ? If you know jags you won't ask that question or frame your opinion. Just on KZbin itself there's a documentary of jags watch that first and read Darwin 3 update your answers are there. Jags are much more capable than you think.

[@AlphaBeta007]

That's why Ind should not retire rugged Jaguar till 2040. Should go for HTFE in it.

[@pmaitrasm]

We don't need it as a necessity. We need more helicopters like HAL LCH. For close air support, India could consider getting 100% ToT on Sukhoi-25, and make them entirely in India, but that is not a major necessity. Anti-drone technology is more important now.

[@dreamhunter2973]

We don't need A10s. Cheap drones will replace the role of A 10, not F 35s.

[@shuklaz]

drones typically are shoot and scoot, close air support needs persistence air cover with high degree of survival. It’s more part of tactical paradigm and is effective for sure in those scenarios. A10s are very versatile

[@masstani]

Main nahi kharidunga is plane ko .😢

[@rickbarrington]

Ask any US infantryman and they will violently disagree with you. Drones have a different mission and A10s primary mission is to provide close air support to ground troops.

[@nimaicharan7107]

​@@shuklaz 😂😂😂😂😂 ek MANPAD and fussss....ise acha Chinese agriculture drone modified with motar round...ek plane ke price pe 500 drone a jayega ...25 kg payload bhi kafi hai...kamakazi drone ❤❤❤

[@shuklaz]

@@nimaicharan7107 I have seen A10s with multiple rounds piercing airframe and yet it continued to fly its mission, the engines are mounted are high to avoid direct shots. It’s not about the plane it’s about the strategy of the fighting force that build their offence around it. Soldiers on the ground love it more than F16. It’s a good weapon to have on arsenal. Jaguars are not A10.

[@himankaroy3775]

[@nitinkhattri1484]

A-10 is very vulnerable to air defence systems..India's all enemies have air defence systems..its very slow moving aircraft..but its very dangerous aircraft

[@sanjayv8467]

Actually this is a good aircraft..they call it flying fortress. Signature two engines on the tail lend some protection. It is found that despite a crippled wing, it managed to get out of the enemy country & land safely in the neutral terrain. However, soeed is one shortcoming. Further, use of Helis will get more & more limited as they're very vulnerable to anti-aircraft missiles.

[@sigma-sigma1]

The days of going " Low, slow Close, and cozy with enemy are numbered " With the proliferation of manpads and close airdefence systems, Now are the days of standoff precision guided strike weapons especially like precision guided glide bombs , etc.

[@sigma-sigma1]

Russia earlier having tried this tactics of going "close up with enemy" In Russia -ukraine war leading to loss of aircrafts has switched to standoff precision guided strikes especially using cheaper precision guided glide bombs which has managed to turn the tide in Russia 's favour.

INDIA STILL HAS A BLIND MINDSET TO IMPORT IMPORT IMPORT. THIS IS A 1960'S AIRCRAFT FOR GROUND SUPPORT AND THEREFORE SLOW. KAVERI ENGINES WOULD DO FINE. DOES THAT MEAN INDIAN DESIGNERS CANNOT REPLICATE IT? OR DELHI ARMS PEDDLING CABAL CONTINUES TO HAVE THE UPPER HAND IN SWAYING OUR BABUS & ARMED FORCES DECISIONMAKERS?

[@TruthSeeker-i4s]

IAF have only 24 functioning squadrons in place of 42. Needed 5th generation jets ASAP. With the tight budget operating a separate ground attack aircraft is not feasible.

[@anilv3724]

A-10 flies really slow and never cease to amaze anyone with its capabilities but slowly its role bit by bit is taken away by other platforms like F-16 which is capable of SEAD missions and basic ground attack, Helicopter's, drones and UAS but A-10 and SU-25 is unique in itself and India as it aspires to be a global power must have all types of aircrafts in its fleet to manage any threat and wars are not limited to mountains and Jaguars and other fighters are good but they can't fly slow like A-10 or SU-25 and is not specific CAS aircrafts and we must ponder over options including get licenced manufacturing of a such a system with 100% TOT and our own avionics or develop a flying tank for CAS but we are already busy with Tejas Mk1 and 2, Amca and all other projects so... Problem for another day

[@anilv3724]

Morale boost that a system like A-10 or even an attack helicopter gives to ground troops and infantry is insurmountable and we must also consider that.

[@indrayudhmondal412]

Especially in the Rann of Kutch area and the rest of western land border. But hum toh Jaguars ko bhi retire kar denge kuchh sal meh. Shouldn't we look for an alternative? Hunters and Maruts were critical to the army's victory at Longewala. Not sure if the Mirage 2000 and Su-30MKIs or the Rafale are the best bet for that. Yes we will have helicopters like Prachand and AH-64 but again as you pointed out they are in a separate class. So maybe a deal worth looking at for the future. Both warthog and frog foot are exceptional choices for this role however, they are a bit one dimensional and may be a reason for them being ignored as the current doctrine require multirole aircrafts over a specialized ground attack plane like this.

[@deeprodatta1387]

LCH LCH...further improve it in block mode....it will serve our purpose...unlike showpiece like AH64...looks impressive but in tough terrains of North amidst the unpredictable weather its not that useful

[@Vallabh1721]

Nonsense, we don't want any antique pieces. A10 Warthog is a predominantly strike fighter. Close Air Support ke liye Tejas, Prachand hai na. Warthog aur Su25 flying tanks honge but they are sitting ducks.

[@zebra1446]

We'd build our own version of Warthog!! Jai Hind 🇮🇳

[@PrashantPatel-wh9gz]

A10 American fighters are able to fly at 900 feet and capable flying high and very low in the mountainous area.

[@HemanthKumarJadhav]

A10 airframes are very old and maintenance is very tedious. There is a documentary on KZbin. Lot of training and technical expertise needed to just maintain availability.

[@supratikchakraborty9335]

Even then, if India is to establish its dominance in the Asia Pacific region, we would have to fight some low intensity wars in future apart from the mountain regions. For that purpose I strongly believe that we can not solely relay on gunships and would require some Close Air Support platforms of our own.

[@sseries6236]

IMO, the ability to withstand direct attacks, survive in the hostile environment and then come back safely to the base, that is the highlight of this platform. Hats of to the engineering.

[@finderskeepers7293]

There were two concepts shown by HAL some time back. One was called the Hawk i, and the other was a weaponosed version of the HTT 40- something like the American Super Tucano. I think these will be feasible alternative for close air support for the Indian armed forces. However they have been shelved as they didnot elicit any interest from the IAF.

[@PScor123456]

We require these kind of aircraft. The scenario has change with slow low flying swarm drones which country like China can send in 1000 at a time instead of missile A10 will be good

[@JohnnyRotten-uf6xw]

A-10 has proven itself in asymmetrical warfare, despite being outdated tech - outdated as in not cutting-edge. This would help our troops fighting in Kashmir and other insurgencies. Against a full-fledged war, they would likely not be that effective as they are easy SAM food, since they are slow and fly low and are also vulnerable to drones. But how likely is a full-blown hot war? Not very likely. We will likely only see protracted periods of low-intensity combat. The issue is, they are old and therefore expensive to maintain and their ammo is pretty exclusive, only the US makes the ammo for its GAU cannon as far as I know. We must acquire 2-3 squadrons and check out their combat effectiveness before taking any of them. The US is likely to retire them soon since they would not work really well against a professional army like that of China's - same as the AC-130. That being said, I am pretty sure drones can do their job much better and do not involve us risking our pilots.

[@Rishabh-ty3gr]

No it has terrible accuracy. The radius of error is huge. Plus high maintenance and limited use cases. Considering we have 3 distinct territory borders. Deserts, mountain ranges and now thanks to Bangladesh a marshy forest to guard and provide air support to in case of a war. Deserts? Tried and tested by the ground friendly fire is difficult to avoid plus it is very vulnerable to manpads. Mountains? Nah no chance. Marshy forest? Good luck trying to distinguish between friend and foe.

[@ManishMishra-mv5fp]

I totally second ur opinion. Thts why India has inducted large nos of flying tanks (Mis). But just 2 points or queries from you on this reasoning. 1. Read somewhere abt the issue of density of air and problemz faced by armed forces of India in providing CAS during Kargil ops. Was probably cited as one reason by committee on Kargil & Armed forces to suggest induction of Apaches. Pls clarify if I am wromg. 2. Why then has the PLAAF deployed long range strategic bombers (H6) in Kashgar perfecture. P.S. excuse me for my limited knowledge. Im not a military strategy expert.

A-10 attack aircraft was a result of “pork-barrel-politics” very very long time back (when “Tip” O’Neil was the house speaker in early 1980s). This aircraft was manufactured in Massachusetts to reward his constituency. It’s believed that even US army didn’t want it. It also hasn’t been a great success either. Those who even think that India should consider making/buying this aircraft are either totally ignorant of the history and incapable of conducting any research on it, or they stand to benefit by this kind of projects. They should be politely discouraged. Thank you for clarifying the absurdity of this thinking in simple and unequivocal manner.
