Re: Pakistan, Peru to buy South Korean A-37s
A-10 is a pretty useless aircraft in the VVS / DRAAF vs. PAF scenario. It is good for mop-up operations after you have f*cked your enemies up to near death status. Even in iraq after all the bombings, the US still lost many A-10s to iraqi fire in 2003.
Only one A-10 was lost to hostile fire in 2003 out of 60 deployed.
At any rate, the A-10 was offered because it was expected that any communist attack into Pakistan would be tank-heavy; and the PAF lacked anti-tank capability.
