Which is tougher A10 or Su-25 (genuine question)?

Having been reading an article debating the retirement of the A10 on AW, I got to thinking about these two aircraft.

We read lots about Su-25 losses but they are being put in harms way with less sophisticated weaponry more often. I wonder if the A10 was being flown in Ukraine (for example) instead of the Su-25, would it be suffering the same losses?

Assuming tactics and weapons are the same.

Here is a video of a damaged A10 which purports to show why it is so “amazing”:

there may be better examples out there or indeed Su-25 examples too.

This is not intended as a competition by the way.
