Interesting letter in today’s Telegraph. Making a case for A-10s to be loaned to Ukraine. Not the fighter cover they might requires, but I would have thought them ideal for the ground battle, relatively easy to service, and even easier for an experienced military pilot to convert to.
Any volunteers?
Ukraine
