“You say one A-10 costs about 82 million to build . . .”

You misunderstood and imaged more.

The 82 million was cited as the cost of an F35A. I was being sarcastic when I suggested that would be cheaper than maintaining the current A10s that are already bought and paid for.

My point still remains it’s far cheaper and probably more effective to build an equivalent number of drones than building or maintaining an older generation of aircraft who were extremely effective and still are capable aircraft
