The IRGC said the “LN” tail code on the wreckage identified the aircraft as belonging to the 48th Fighter Wing at RAF Lakenheath in Britain, home to the 493rd Fighter Squadron.
Some analysts suggested the debris could instead belong to an F-15E Strike Eagle, as the red coloring visible on the wreckage aligns with markings on F-15s from the same squadron.
Ahh, my bad. I misread your response as “this was confirmed to be an a10.”
The A10 had it’s day and place, mainly as a ground support aircraft battling against under armed insurgency groups. But yeah, against a force that has somewhat capable air defense they are definitely out of their depths.
