These are prop planes which we are apparently building and then plan to give away to countries such as Afghanistan.

yes they are prop jobs.......but they are to be used in counter insurgency roles...they get way better fuel consuption than a jet, carry a crapload of ordinance, and have better loiter time... a tool that is needed in our arsenel... the ground pounders that have had these at their disposal love them, they are a great ground support tool ( to be used after air superiority is established) I do not believe they are slated to be “given away”
