The A-10 is cool as shite but it's time came and went a long time ago. Look at Ukraine, which is the exact fight the Warthog was built for, it wouldn't last five minutes in that airspace.
While the airspace is indeed contested, there have been many successful Frogfoot sorties in areas with a lower anti-air presence.
If we were to use the A-10 in modern times we'd have to soften the air defenses with wild weasles first and use the A-10 to support the ground invasion and take out enemy armor/artillery
