Who Wants to Buy Retired A-10 Warthogs? The Evidence Points Somewhere Else

A mystery country just asked the U.S. if they could buy retired A-10 Warthogs. The Pentagon said no. Then it pointed them toward the OA-1K Skyraider II; which is what you get when somebody looks at an agricultural aircraft, the kind that sprays soybean fields in Iowa, and decides it needs Hellfire missiles and a mission-planning cell. That sounds like a joke. It's also a completely serious aircraft the Air Force is flying right now. In this video: what the OA-1K can actually do versus what the A-10 was built for, why the honest conclusion is "close, but not the Warthog," and who the mystery country is, because the evidence points somewhere different than you might think.
