A crop duster with some guns and bombs would be just as effective and much cheaper

Yeah, there are several YouTube videos that go into detail about how overrated the system is. From how inaccurate the gun is to those big arse 30mm rounds not being able to penetrate the front armor of Soviet tanks as old as something like a T32. Even when they did hit and generate, the survivability inside the tanks was really high.
I'm a fan of the A10, but it seems it has been built up a reputation it hasn't really earned.
