Pentagon Wants a New A-10 Warthog, but Defense Contractors Say

The Pentagon and the Air Force are crazy if they think that the A10 can be replaced. The F-35 can be shot down by a AK-47 bulet and a can't hang around station for 2 hours waiting for a mission! it's 25 millimeter gun has one-fourth the capacity of a 30 millimeter warthog. I am glad force people like congresswoman and former A-10 Squadron Commander Sally and Senator John McCain who shaken sense into the Pentagon brass into keeping the warthog.. I spoke to a kc-135 crew member who said to me last week that those kc-135 are going to be around for the next 30 years and we already know the B-52's are going to be there too so why can't we spend the money and rebuild the warthogs? The warhawks are much more practical and they can take the punishment. They're not as sophisticated as the junk Strike Fighter and they can't get shot down by a 7.62 millimeter 12.7 millimeter or even a 23 millimeter round while all three can take down an F-35 junk Strike Fighter!

You are so right. I know II Air Force pilots in my Army reserve unit both them can fly both commercial Jets and any fixed-wing or helicopters in the Army inventory may be glad to fly the A-10 or transfer Jose 10 Pilots over to the Army. The Eisenhower military industrial complex combined with the junk I say again junk Strike Fighter is a square peg but then again we're dealing with some people who think of the F-35 is the jack-of-all-trades final solution when it's actually a very problematic overweight underpowered piece of junk.
