I'd honestly think something like a Super Turcano over A-10.

They don't have the bitchin' gun, but are still in actual production and probably simpler.

But I don't think either would be a great option for contested airspace.

I'm honestly not sure what you mean. Like BEV emergency vehicles, or emergency vehicles to respond to electrical problems?

If the former, I'm not sure this would be the best weather for them.

If the latter, they exist; it's just slow and fiddly to bring a grid section back online, otherwise you risk other parts of the grid. Wouldn't do a lot of good to bring e.g. your neighborhood online, only to have it and the next neighborhood over immediately go back offline. So it might take more time to prep the grid for reconnection than it did to--say--fix a cable.

Reply to I'm looking for a light that turns on when you open the living room door. When you come home late night from a party or event etc. by jsingh21

I use a Hue set with the motion sensor, and set it to turn the lights on.

Since I put it on the front porch (so it would turn on the porch light), I had more trouble tuning it to not turn on from cars driving by and such than to generically turn on.
