being british I should have gone for the jaguar, but the A-10,
is just to good, there was a story in the first gulf war that an A-10
was hit by two iraqi anti-aircraft missiles in the same wing and still managed to fly to safety

This one took a sam direct hit. SA-6 i think it was...

Idiots putting down Russian aircraft which have proven to be not only as good as those of the West but in many cases superior. Bloody Americans think only they can build excellent aircraft yet the Soviets were world-beaters in this area. Some of their warplanes lacked some sophisticated electronics on purpose. They were too costly.

Impossible. The SA-6 dates back to the 1973 Yom Kippur War. That was a SAM which literally destroyed the entire IAF on its own. You clearly have not a clue what it is you are talking about. I would suggest silence on your part in future.

Sure hasn't worked out that way in combat Comrade "Banned in seven posts".

What's impossible is for you to retort my next observation...

You're a twit...

Hold on a sec.

Btw where is Sukhoi Su-25 Frogot in that Poll

. The Su25 was a good apable attack, close air support, and anti-tank aircraft designed which is comparable to the A-10 Thunderbolt II

These 5 planes do different things. It's really not possible to say which one is the best.

A-10 can probably take the type of punishment which will bring down the other 4, but it's not good at deep penetration raids like the Tornado. And A-10 is also unique in that it's the only dedicated tankbuster out of the 5. It's built for loitering.

Tornado is built for deep penetration raids, hence its unique terrain following radar and inertial guidance system.

Mig-27, Mirage V, and Jaguar are more like interdiction bombers, designed for hitting army formations and support columns.

After an inauspicious beginning the type developed into the finest of its age. I saw the Australian F-111 at the Wanaka display last year. How can the RAAF find a replacement that can do all the Aardvaark did?

Where's my dear SU-25?

It's the best of all the listings above (in vote) but it's not mentioned...

I think the SU-25 is in the same class as the A-10. Cheap, flies low and slow, effective at killing targets of opportunity, but not really made for battlefield interdiction and deep strike missions.

Yes, but SU-25 is aslo armored aircraft.

I think if the A-10 is in the list, the Su-25 should be also...but the poll is just too vague here. If we're talking CAS, that's one thing. If we're talking deep strike, that's completely different, and a completely different set of aircraft.

And the A-10 isn't armored?
