You may be wasting your time with the effectiveness debate
Other platforms may well be more accurate, cheaper to fly, be faster, carry more weapons etc etc but that may have no bearing on how their effectiveness is measured on the ground as I'm sure you know.

If the blokes on the ground know an A10 makes the baddies keep their heads down or run away then that is the added value that money can't buy, and high tech systems can't replace.
