Those “aging A-10 Warthogs” are what the US Army needs for close air support. I don’t believe our broken procurement process is capably of buying anything that can replace them with the same level of effectiveness, let alone with something better.
The Air Force ought to turn over Warthogs and any future CAS fixed wing aircraft to the Army. Otherwise the Air Force will continue to try to get rid of them.
Yep. A shame that Iraq had to procure from Russia proper CAS Su25s because we could not produce A10s for them.
Every time they retire these types they start begging for them back
