[A lot of truth and attitude.

The B52 is great against a massed target, but if you want precision targeting, use A-10s. Yes the I know the f@@king US Air Force does not agree.]


The A-10 is useless except in undefended airspace, or in a situation where its life expectancy is measured in hours, as it would have been against Warsaw Pact forces in an all-out war in the 1980’s. The B-52 can launch 20 cruise missiles against targets as far as 600 miles away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-158_JASSM#AGM-158B_JASSM-ER Another way of putting this is that it can target any point in Iran from outside Iranian airspace.

BS. The Army and Marines love the A-10 and want more it.

I have been on the ground with Army and Marines, I have also been on the Joint Targeting Board, further I helped design the Air Defense for the NCR.

When you are in contact with the enemy there is nothing that gives you piece of mind more than knowing A-10s are on station to support you.

That's good, but why is FOX tipping our hand?
