With this development, Patty Murray will now support the Super Tucano bid.
I wouldn’t exactly call the Tucano a fighter. Maybe a light ground support aircraft? It would definitely be an A-something, not an F-something.
“Afghan military’s counterinsurgency missions. “
So often we hear this term ‘insurgent’.
What is an ‘insurgent’ ? Isn’t that a label that all governments use to describe anyone who attacks them for running a police state dictatorship ?
Here in the US, they (DOJ,DHS,FBI,CIA,ATF,DEA) now say if you believe in the Constitution, you are an insurgent.
The aircraft’s structure is corrosion-protected and the side-hinged canopy has a windshield capable of withstanding a bird strike at 270 kts.
Not sure why one needs to worry about bird strikes on the canopy with a single engine nose-mounted prop. By the time the bird gets to the canopy, the prop has already turned it into Chicken McNuggets.
The Chinese just bought Hawker Beechcraft so either way, our tax payer dollars are going to one of our marxist adversaries.
Gosh, this is such a smart idea. EVERYONE knows that Afghan military is the bitter sworn enemy of the Taliban. After we leave they are going to have an unbelievable operational tempo!
The whole program is a joke and every General pushing it is a liar. They know it is a joke to pretend the afghans are on our side. The Afghan military does what they do solely because of us. The Afghan military has attacked and murdered our men countless times. Once it was an Afhgan pilot.
The minute we leave, they will stop all hostilities except the tribal crap. The Taliban will be brought into the government. The ‘super’ tucanos will be junk inside of 6 months.
The goal here is that defense contractors, and procurement officers get a project, that lines the pockets of a foreign company, and is paid for with borrowed Chinese money. We are BROKE. We do not have money to waste on the fantasy that these vermin share our goals.
This program contributes nothing to Americas well being. It would do more good for America to send 35,000 couples on a $5k vacation, than to spend 355,000,000 of borrowed money, to buy the enemy some planes they are incapable and unwilling to use.
These are muslims of the worst sort. They sell boys, sodomy is rampant, they murder and abuse women, and they are the worlds leading supplier of heroin.
This program is the densest stupid I’ve ever seen. If they are keen to waste money on programs like this, buy me a Cessna172, or a glider maybe. At least I am not an enemy of America.

The A-10 is the last word in this weapon system...
