I don't know - if they tried to replace it with ex-Soviet SU-25s the answer might just be chuckles rather than outright laughter... But yes, there's really nothing in the sky that could properly replace it. An AC-130U has the firepower but probably can't survive the beating an A-10 can (and is nowhere near as good at the A-10's specific role).
