Not sure about the other craft, but the A-10 has some special features not mentioned. Non-exploding fuel tanks, armor, redundancy and is has extra strong frame allowing continued flight with damage.

The Su-25 came out 3 years after the plans for the YA-9 were stolen, and it was literally a YA-9 modified to fit the longer Soyuz engines. The modifications consisted of longer engine pods and a slightly redesigned tail. The Soviets had been working on an attack aircraft since the late 1960s, but quickly changed their design around 1971, when they started getting American data.

Also the years of production should have been mentioned along with number of engines. Note the SU-25 is made in BOTH 1 and 2 seat variants and is is now made in the former soviet (now independent) state of Georgia. You should also settle on either Metric or Imperial units 'twelve seven millimeter' gun is HALF inch (50 cal), not switch back and forth between the two.
