go to bed grandpa, A2A is missiles these days, with APKWS for shahed hunting (19 per pod. F15 can carry four). (not rockets (unguided)) if you want to use guns against them for some reason, then whatever it is must be slow to be practical, and guess what, we already have a tool for that: it’s called helicopter. there were two F16 lost in Ukraine when they tried to shoot down a shahed with a gun iirc, they were damaged by shahed fragments. no reason to get too close when sidewinders or APKWS exist

A10s are limited to flying over iraq targeting militias there (with jdams/sdbs) last time i’ve checked. any of more modern jets can carry enough SDBs to last for all CAS needs, there are also heliborne APKWS and hellfires. nobody needs brrrrrt these days
