The A-10 (1972) predates the appearance of the S-300 (1975) by just a few years.

Unless the S-300 was a complete surprise to the US the A-10 must've been designed and adopted with the knowledge it will be facing "modern air defences".

So why do people keep saying that this Cold War plane wasn't designed to face proper AD?

During the Cold War A-10 pilot training focused overwhelmingly on low altitude flying, and as we see today in Ukraine low flying remains one of the primary methods of mitigating AD.

The idea that a cost effective plane packed full of firepower which excels at low flying is not equipped to operate in a contested air space is absurd.

What also changed between now and 1972 was the USAF becoming loss averse due to deindustrialization, technophilia, and the receding memory of WW2. Pinning everything on technological advancement of AD doesn't add up.
