Would be more interested in seeing what other company’s could do with that “record” Subaru just set.

I say pending alien arrival.

John Hennessey is still a crook, people still giving him money for some reason, more at 11

Deeper emplaced explosives is my guess.

In an ideal world, sometimes it can't be avoided. Have to crack eggs to make an omelet.

that's the beauty of the A10, it requires catastrophic damage to render it combat ineffective.

That's what wild weasel and SEAD are for, AA/AAA/SA are part of the job.

Saw it in the theatre 15 years ago, will be seeing it again.

I assume with all the speaking you do on the topic of CAS In the current battle space that you are either a JTAC/FO?

You didn’t read what I wrote about the sniper pod replacing legacy equipment and then set about trying to educate me about air stacks and the finer points of CAS

Depends on the target and relevant target considerations, all targets of opportunity are not created equal.

There is no such thing as an area truly devoid of AA threats, be it MANPADS or otherwise, in a conventional fight that’s where artillery SEAD and wild weasel come in to play.

ITT: people who think all that goes in to a bomb drop is a guy on a radio going “drop it here right now!”

Being the guy who walks the battlefield and is tasked with both indirect fires, rotor and fixed wing attack aviation I will once again say I’ll take an A10 or Apache over ANY strike or multi-role aircraft.

How are you planning on dropping a GPS guided bomb on a moving target?

There are more examples of them shot full of holes and continuing the mission than those of them ending the sortie early. Better to be ugly and effective than pretty and ineffective.

One of the major shortfalls of the A10 was the use of legacy targeting pods, that was rectified in the last few years when the pave penny and lentern pods were replaced with the sniper pod. Don’t forget that the A10's hace recently received new wings also.

The UAW always try's to act like they don't pressure company's or employees, watching how fucking dirty they tried to play at the Chattanooga VW plant really opened my eyes to their none sense, the beauty of being local I guess.

It's about time, welcome back!

Hey look, a very thinly disguised Pennzoil ad.
