Instead, the USAF should have invested in a single, medium fighter
type, single-engined and a real multi-role aircraft, and
simple-and-cheap STOVL attack type for the USMC and
as a *real* replacement for the A-10.

How can you make a STOVL that's as sturdy as the A-10?

Last time I looked armor weighed something.
