The entire A-10 fleet will be modified over the next five years for an estimated total contract value of $168 million.
$168 million to update the whole A-10 fleet. Now that's a deal! I read somewhere that they're going to start replacing the engines in a couple years.

The A-10 is just great. If they ever manage to get rid of it, they will have a multi-billion-dollar vendor shootout to see if anyone can produce an A-10 from scratch.
