Il faut rapeller que les skyraider de l'us navy ont été retiré du vietnam à cause de leur grande vulnérabilité aux sa-2
Comme en témoigne ce texte extrait d'un osprey
Spads’ were limited to lightly defended areas relatively free of
SA-2s. However, the mobility of the AAA constantly changed the areas in
which they could operate, seriously reducing the effectiveness of what had
previously been the best visual reconnaissance aircraft employed over
North Vietnam. Pilots had to use ‘jinking’ and high-g split-S manoeuvres
to avoid SAMs. The A-1 also lacked a radar warning receiver system to
alert it to the presence of an active SA-2, so ‘Spad’ pilots had to vigilantly
monitor the UHF guard channel for warnings of SAM launches.
Comme les talibans n'ont en principe pas de missile lourds , je pense que cet avion est adéquat pour l'usage
mais 40 avions à terme c'est peu quand on voit les moyens qui étaient déployés par l'otan
