Qone0, the thing about the A-10 Warthog is that it is most effective after air superiority is achieved. It's unknown these days how well A-10s would work in an environment full of MANPADS and S-300 air defense systems.

But we can get some clues from the performance of the Su-25 Frogfoot, which serves the same purpose the Warthogs served, namely close air support. It is one of the most shot-down aircraft in the war, with sources estimating around 25 RuZZian Frogfoots and 6 Ukrainian Frogfoots lost:
