these two weapons were intended for different goals and uses. Americans were worried about number of Russian tanks in Europe so they wanted something to take care of it. A-10 is a "close air support" and tanks were always its primary targets. The smaller Su-25 is more intended for broader use than only tanks. You can see it even from the weaponry systems. The basic Su-25 weapon are unguided rockets, not a gun....

Each does what it was intended for.....
