I thought they were retiring the A-10s…
From AI summary:
The A-10 Thunderbolt II, commonly known as the Warthog, is being retired by the U.S. Air Force due to its vulnerability in modern combat environments, particularly against advanced air defense systems. This decision raises concerns about the potential capability gap in close air support as the military shifts focus to newer aircraft like the F-35 and B-21 Raider.
