A good idea and one that would never work in our dod because the power brokers would make it die quickly.
Why is it a good idea?
The USAF is horrible when it comes to getting it’s priorities right. The fighter maffia running their show bleeds things like the a10 and neglects aspects that are critical while they chase down their dreams of f22s. The USAF does not set it’s priorities based on what is actually needed and this became evident in 2001, 2003.
The fighter mafia in the USAF lose sight of the mission requirements, and instead seem to focus mainly on the latest. The F-22 is best at air superiority. The A-10 is best at supporting the groundpounders. Using F-16’s and F-35A’s for CAS is a waste, those planes best serve in a different strike role.
The Russians (and the Soviets before that) had organized as several separate air force organizations, depending on mission. Frontal Aviation serves the same role as TAC, VV-PVO/IA-PVO serves the same role as ADC (however also includes anti-air missile batteries), Long Range Aviation (LR-AF) is similar to SAC in mission (however the Strategic Rocket Forces make up an entirely separate arm), and a separate transport arm. Through in AV-MF for the naval mission. Apparently a bit more compartmentalization over there.
