...the F35 costs about 8 or 9 times more than the A10 (around 90 mill each). I don't anybody flying a 90 mill airplane low and slow where a guy with an ak and a golden bb can shoot it down.

The A-10 is a helluva lot tougher since it was designed as a ground attack aircraft. Effectively, the pilot sits in a titanium tub.
