Fairly short, about 20 minutes. Trump is giving a lot of praise to the Dems.

The A10 to be replaced by the F15? That’s like being an off roader and replacing a jeep with a Porsche Cayman. Both are 100 million each on average… WAAAAY too expensive. The costs have to come down. The defense industry is a scam.

I would think the F15 is better suited for the interceptor role that makes sense in MI. Put the A10s on the Mexican border and let’s give some braaaaap to the cartels.

The A10s lived on the border for 40 years at Davis-Monthan.

Moved out last year, replaced by AFSOC. Could be useful too but nothing like the entertainment value of braaaap.

That’s what the A10 is best for. Mow down camps and compounds… if I was in the air force that would have been the plane I would ask/want to fly.

current cost? ONE HUNDRED TWENTY MILLION?!?!?!?!?!? The defense industry is a rip off
