Or maybe Discovery mixed up 1000 km/h (0,82M) with M itself?

Okay, so the Mach part is finally settled.
But how about A2A? I know that both are CAS aircraft, but SUPPOSE if both came up against each other, which one would be the better platform to be in? At least on paper/theoretically?Everyone has opinions, only some count.

The A-10 or the Su-25 were not meant for A2A combat. The only purpose of heaters that each carry is for self-defense. In real world, none of these would knowingly engage each other or other aircraft(except may be choppers) unless threatened.Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and self-respect is the chief element in courage.

He pretty much said that when he asked the question.
It's pretty cool when A-10 or Tornado guys chime in during an air-to-air shot debrief at Red Flag or something like that. Everybody's head turns when the Hog driver says, "Stop, valid for kill..." At that point an Aggressor pilot usually starts sliding down in his seat.
