  1. sometimes. Usually to convince people Wolf Angel is not Angela (unless you speak Russian of course)
  2. Abiding by common sense and security as well as the forum rules, I am a civilian currently, looking for information on the usefulness of the A-10 in modern combat, particularly where networked Russian systems like the Pantsir and BUK are involved. General thoughts, with nothing classified or specific incidents not publicly well reported please. Love to hear from some pilots of the Warthog, or analysts familiar with the modern Russian systems. I'm aware of the general toughness, and survivability, and the fact the A-10 is the current CAS champ. I also understand the A-10 is one aspect of the aerial ballet, and that other aircraft and systems come in to fill in the gaps in A-10 abilities like removal of RADAR sources. Again, without violating forum rules, could the A-10 function in a modernized battle with leading edge tech anti-aircraft systems like Pantsir or BUK (or others)? A second, somewhat related question, what would the minimal training time be for training a hypothetical foreign friendly national to pilot and use in a CAS role the A-10... What I have found online is 55 weeks, 260 hours of flight time. (And that there are no public records of any active A-10 pilots outside the USAF, so strictly hypothetical) If the questions can't be answered without violating the forum rules, please don't answer saying that, as that inability, if present, represents an abstraction of the information itself.
