      The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
      In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
      The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

    Using A10 to launch Hammers would not be very efficient as it is very slow so that would reduce the range of the Hammers. Those are typically launched from medium altitude to remain outside SAM defense: the offensive plane would approach at very low altitude to avoid detection/SAM launch, pop up for a minute or less to launch the guided weapon (if using the GPS guiding system) and exit at low altitude. Laser or IR guided Hammers would only be used if long range SAM have been neutralised, thus allowing the plane to remain at medium altitude longer to guide the hammers.

      They also rejected the offer for Thunderbolts. They dont want them, stating that they would be cannon fodder and a waste of ressources because of the enemies SAM and intercepting capabilitiees. Those planes need air superiority. F-16s are the better choice for SEAD missions, obviously. And thats what they will get.

    People need to understand in war there are no health bars. An A-10 hit by a single round in the right spot will go down. An A-10 without air superiority is similar to a WW2 prop plane in survivability on the modern battlefield. An A-10 will not fly over the Russian, absorb 5 missiles & be able to attack the target.

    @Grim Reapers Cap, unless you have access to info we plebs don't, that isn't what happened to the Patriot in Ukraine. The Russians allegedly spotted a Patriot system in transit from one location to the next with a drone, then they launched missiles at the convoy. The claim is that they destroyed two launchers for the system. They didn't get the radar. Habitual Linecrosser, who is a Patriot system trainer in the US Army said he can't positively identify the wreckage as a Patriot launcher, but it definitely wasn't a US built system. It may have been one of the German ones, if indeed a Patriot was hit. There are some who still maintain it was an S300.

      Yeah, sadly they were stowed and in convoy. I'm still baffled by the fact that they stopped in a seemingly random place and that Russian recon drone could get that far behind enemy lines. With the loss of the first HIMARS and now at least 1 PATRIOT launcher, maybe 2, and the fire control unit, it seems like Ukrainian units are becoming a little careless or complacent. I hope this was a good wake up call.

    Ultimately, NATO F-35 pilots are going to need to put their thumbs on the scale in favor of Ukraine if we're unable to outfit them with a respectable amount of western aircraft. They could fly out of Eastern Europe and hit radars behind the front lines with weapons Ukraine is already using--can't use AARGMs, unfortunately--so Russia would have no way of proving they were there. Sure, they could monitor sorties from NATO bases, but how would they distinguish between a mission and an exercise if they can't track in flight? F-35s have internal stores, so they couldn't see what didn't come back on the rails, either.

    Love ya Cap but nobody has ever called the A-10 a "Glass cannon". It is in fact quite a "Tanky cannon".
    P.S. The USAF had an A-10 vs F-35 CAS competition where the report was finally released several months ago. There was no clear winner because they didn't want to say that the A-10 won but the major findings were that there was such a huge disparity in load capability that they could not dismiss the A-10 and suggested that they work in consort.

    I am ashamed as an American that we allowed the French to beat us to that acronym.
    The F35 is a great aircraft, but it can't do the job that the A10 does, not really. It just isn't suited to the role... there's a big difference between a strike mission and CAS in the real world. Visibility and SA mainly. And at under 10,000ft the F35 is no more survivable in a contested or nonpermissive environment... maybe less so than the A10 since it's louder so the Strela gunners may be more likely to get the shot off. The A10 is also less vulnerable than attack helicopters and Bayraktar drones but... SAM crews are definately falliable and we've seen SHORAD and EW suites killed by the things they were meant to counter. So there's still a place for them on the battlefield.
    THAT SAID... with the Olympus mod you have now, it'd be super cool to have an F35 vs A10 competition for realistic, reactionary, non-pre-plotted CAS mission. A thinking, maneuvering enemy of indeterminate strength really complicates things. It'd be good fun to watch and the FINEST of science.

I was thinking you could set up a competition based on each era, ww2, Korean, Vietnam, gulf war, and 5th Gen. You could find out which aircraft was the best low level aircraft per era. Obviously aircraft must stay under a certain height and require some sort of simple target to take out to complete each run.

Getting rid of the A10 is a really bad idea.

      There's a flaw in your logic. The F-35 is able to operate the newest weapons the US and NATO have, A-10 would need another modernization package. F-35 can do longer range missions utilizing stealth to perform interdiction, A-10 necessitates air superiority to not be blown out of the sky instantly. F-35 can exceed 20k feet with ease. The F-35 is in current production while new A-10's haven't been made since the VERY LATE 80'S. Why keep a nearly 50 y/o airframe in service and force it along like a quadriplegic coma victim?
