F-35

continue
nope, that wont work, fell into a manhole cover
next!
nooo that wont work .. hand wavium
so, back to reality
F-35 😃
where fook is my wallet
10 KMs away from a tank, and you don't think there will be multiple ground to air missiles and enemy jets on you?
s'what the Typhoon and various long range air to ground munitions are for
We're talking modern war against a great power
oh, wait... no typhoons for the US
guess your fucked ;P
Air to ground missile you say?
Intercepted by a Missile Defense program
uh
missile defence dont work that way
I know I am being unrealistic
But I'm talking cost-effectivenes
you're getting mixed up between a JAASM / SCALP / APACHE / STORMSHADOW and a theatre / regional ballastic missile
Since that F-35 costs a lot, doesn't it?
yes, but if you were to argue an A10
Its actually cheaper
A-10 seriously needs to die
A Warthog would be reasonable
too expensive for its current role
and not survivable in its projected role
Tanks are actually a bit old fashioned, I'd say
and, only you would say
They'll just get taken out by hand held AT
no one else who is responsible for the role would say
Or any plane
right, chap with AT gets slotted by dismounted infantry flanking the approach of armour
I mean real AT
plane gets shot down by opposing airforce or battlefield air defence
