And what makes these comments factual? A-10 can carry everything up to/including the kitchen sink, way more than the Harrier as far as load out. So, you can go from the gun, to rockets, to Mavericks, and so on.
And why will a Harrier fly lower than the 'Hog?
BTW, I am a fan of the Harrier, in whatever flavor - Brit, USMC, or others, but these two comments just don't jibe.
