Bravo Zulu Sol!
ReplyDeleteGreat piece. I was wondering what the stats were in the AF line of thinking... and people buy this stuff. Boggles me too. Anyway, keep up the good work. I personally love reading the F-35'rs (supporters) when they drop in here and tussle with you. Makes for a good morning read.
thanks bro! those bastards are getting more and more desperate but the truth is getting out and more and more people are taking apart their lies.
Deletei'm lovin' it!
It simply makes no sense to toss the A-10, for the next 5-10 years. This is all about pouring money into the F35 fan club, which is sucking the place dry.
ReplyDeleteits rather obvious isn't it. how so many can CHOOSE not see it is beyond me. its the most dishonest pile of bullshit i've ever heard but the Pentagon is shoveling it fast and furious.
Deletewant a prediction for the future? what happens when the Pentagon is no longer seen in a positive light by the American people? what do you think happens when you don't have former servicemembers willing to lobby Congress for more funding? they're doing more than throwing away future airpower, they're throwing away the good will of the American people.
the sleeping will wake up to this scam and when they do it will be hell to pay.
Anybody heard about the possibility of South Korea or someone else (Ukraine?!?) being interested in buying them? Poland? Romania?
DeleteThe A10s have just been refurbished, it has to be one of the easiest jets to maintain, plenty of parts, you could very easily replace the engines, they are just military CF34s, plenty of civilian ones around. Should be real easy to convert pilots. Can drop a ton of ordinance, plenty of endurance....
Plus I am sure the price would be a joke compared to just about anything out there.....
DoD Buzz website quotes Air Force Gen. Mark Welsh as saying that scrapping the A-10 will save $4.2B over five years
ReplyDeletenews report:
The cost to develop and build the Joint Strike Fighter fleet rose 1.88 percent over the past year because of delays in the production line and failures of the engine producer to bring down costs, said Lt. Gen. Chris Bogdan, F-35 Program Executive Officer.
The cost of the program rose by $7.4 billion to $398.58 billion in 2012-year dollars, according to the Pentagon’s Selected Acquisition Report that is released each year to Congress. The increase in costs means tax payers will end up paying $162 million for each fifth generation fighter jet by the end of the program at the current rate.
