Money would be better spent on a contract for more A-10s. Proven technology.

Can’t see a role for the A-10 in the Indo-Pacific region.

The future is in non-manned aircraft.
Rockets and drones, small to large in volumes you can’t imagine.
Hyper-sonic missiles and anti-personnel drones. That is the future of warfare.

Had a pair of A-10’s fly over my house while I was painting the peak on a 20-ft ladder, on the way home from a July 4 concert flyover. That would be very briefly terrifying if I had been a target.

‘1,700 nautical miles without refueling and carry 12 passengers at a speed near 300 mph.’
That number “12” is kinda significant. Unless hung on hard points the A 10 usually has a capacity of one. (pilot)

Money would be better spent on a contract for more A-10s. Proven technology. The A10 has got upgrades...better radars and fire and forget missiles.
However the A10 can't land and leave soldiers...
The new can do this.
Anyone have an idea how many troops can be carried,,,,?... thanks in advance.

Update the Avionics suite and switch to transparent Aluminum cockpit glass and do a run of 1250 of them. Keep the assembly line and parts production alive by purchasing 200 more each year.

Or some more Spitfires - also proven technology …
Or some more Ben Hur Chariots - also proven technology.

I love the A10 but its capacity for carrying troops is limited.
