The air force has been run by retards for a very long time. The current crop of leaders is the worst of a long line of declining ability and character. I doubt they could win an air war with Mexico.

[AndyJackson]

A yes, the hated A10. Tney cannot even believe thay have to waste pilots on a stupid plane like that. [/s].

[Candor7]

Retiring thise A10s is a huge mistake....give them to Ukraine!

Or keep them...we are going to need them.

Is that 188.1 billion going to DEI ? Wpld not suprise me at all.

[where's_the_Outrage?]

Knew the A-10 would be on the list, the AF hates it, but us grunts feel the love.

[sauropod]

I just knew they were going after the A-10s again.

[PubliusMM]

Keep the freakin’ A10’s. We are going to need them, soon.

[rottweiller_inc]

Retire=give to Ukraine since there not money forthcoming

[BobL]

“Air Force wants to retire 250 aircraft as part of $188B FY25 budget request”

Take that Putin, we don’t need no aircraft for our military because WE ARE AMERICA and therefore WE ARE INVINCIBLE!!!!

Can’t you tell that in Ukraine by now!!! Just think about our Bradlee’s and Abraham Tanks - INVINCIBLE, I tell INVINCIBLE!!! ...ehhh, other than against Russian weapons that is.

[rdcbn1]

We are spending so much on Ukraine we cannot afford to support our existing air force.

Pretty soon, the Ukraine will be operating F-16s so they can squander our tactical air munitions like they have blown through our reserves of javelins, stingers and 155mm howitzer shells

[DAC21]

So that’s 250 less Pilots required, or there are not enough Pilots to fly them as is? I doubt the Trannies can qualify, let alone want to even attempt to be a Pilot.

AVIATION PING!....................

[null and void]

Can the Marines get the A-10s?

[ducttape45]

ping

[PAR35]

Still trying to ditch the A-10s, I see.

And over 130 fighters on the list.

[AFret.]

To hell with Ukraine...Give all these airplanes to Israel. The Israeli Air Force is led by men, not boys dressed up in girl clothes, or AA generals.
The IAF can use these assets to continue the fight against the savages in Gaza, Iran...wherever the threat exists.
biden won’t lift a shaking finger to try to bring our hostages home, let real men do the job our sissified Air Force can’t do.

[Sequoyah101]

Can't see how there are any 22's in excess after that mess in Florida. Always after the A-10s. 15E, never have enough? Net force reduction looking to me. How many being added?

Might be better to just get rid of everything. When our end comes maybe it would be better if it were just quick. The AF is so screwed up it may be mostly useless anyway.

[ducttape45]

No no no. If the military wants to save money, drop all of the DEI, woke indoctrination going on. That will save you money.

[catnipman]

airforce still trying to nuke the A-10s ... Congress should put an end to this perennial effort by transferring all A-10s and their funding to the Marines and Army ... the airforce doesn’t want them anyway ...
