>hey guys look at me look I'm pretending this drawing is a real photo look ain't I silly look at me pleas guys please laugh guys look rflmao random right guys
It's fun to imagine over concept art sometimes OP, of course it's fake as frick. And all the features aimed at stealth are dumb combined with all those exposed hard points.
Still, I can imagine a replacement dedicated CAS aircraft better than an F-35 in principle, capable of operating from shitty dirt runways and such too. It's fun to see people kicking it around.
What's the point of a low RCS on something that flies close to the ground.
Can't most tracking systems pick them up at that point? Even if they can't, you can eyeball it with an RPG.
>but the program is real
Is it? As far as I know there was just some upgrades planned to extend the lift of the A-10. Shit won't ever be used against even a Russian tier military. Just too slow. But it's perfect for dinking shit that has at best some technical AA truck.
Well I actually went to go see if there was anything to this nonsense and every article or video is literally just copypaste "here's a bunch of factoids from wikipedia about the A-10, also they want to replace it with a new aircraft" with the videos being padded out for that ad revenue. Thanks OP, get cancer and die in great discomfort.
Pretty much this. It isn't even a new vehicle, it's just upgrades.

Not a fan of this design because it fails to solve issues with the A-10. >whoa lets give it angled tail fins and engine intakes! that'll totally solve it's problems!
Nevermind the slow speed and range, unnecessary and inaccurate cannon, and issues with task overload.
>A-10 meme >longer engine inlets where make the engines harder to maintain >even less FOV in the wienerpit for the pilot >still has the moronic canon >still single seat
If we *absolutely* needed to retain an aircraft in the similar design specs as the A-10, a proper design would be: >two seater >EODAS >remove the gau-8 in favor of twin canons similar to the SU-25 or external pods, use weight savings for additional fuel capacity >modern defensive EWAR suite internal
This isn't replacing the 'Hog, the Angry Duster is for special ops overwatch...ISR, small strike and CAS. The A-10 will still support the larger battlefield, whereas this little guy will keep an eye on small teams of operators in tighter environments.

That's on you homosexual. The superhog is real.

Soulless
Those engine intakes would completely destroy any chance of being stealth

pick 1
I actually think it looks quite cute.

Fly at night.

Hope you didn't click that one m'Black
op is a super gay hog
That concept art is an aerodynamic abomination.
Gentlemen, I give you the newest in American loitering endurance attack support aircraft.
The Unmanned Aerial Ground Attack
Dumb artist's rendering but the program is real

Arma 3 proves to be right again? What's next? The F-18 stealth?
SR-72 Darkstar

here you go, the XFA-3000
kinda like an Avro Vulcan, neat
But why?
Modernising the A-10 could enable it to perform CAS in contested airspace.

Its got angles so its futuristic and advanced now frick off
Friend why are you so upset about a fictional video game
>unnecessary and inaccurate cannon
Somebody's feeling inadequate.

AT-802U Sky Warden Is the replacement.
Sucks but for non- tank busting, this is what it is, a crop duster.

Please let it be scorpion!
