They’re not telling us in the article how much it costs to replace the A-10.

The A-10 will be replaced by the F-35 the F-35 Costs $182 Million to $299 Million Per Plane. Right now the B-1 bomber is doing CAS and it costs 300 million per plane. Neither the F-35 nor the B-1 can do CAS as well as an A-10. The Air force should give the A-10’s to the Marines rather then retire it. Unfortunately there is some kind of stupid rules that say the US Army can not operate fixed winged aircraft. That rule needed to be done away with so the Army can operate A-10’s too.

That can't be determined. There is no replacement for it, so your costs would include all r&d for it, plus years. I say cancel the order on 1 or 2 F-35/22s, and that'll pay for all the A-10s.
