1000 years of A-10 and Burkes
>>65092293Based, mashallah!
LMAO, guess we know how desperate the PGM shortage is getting.
>>65092303>the year is 3026>great battles on the moon are fought with drones, a10s, ar15s, and the South Pole-Aitken basin i still closedGLORIOUS
>>65092445I think it is more that they've shown they can do work as Sandys, and if they get hit during it, they can at least limp back to close to friendlies before they ditch.
>>65092293>US too stronk on air power that it has to keep its dedicated ground sweeper because other jets are not equipped to fight against such shitty oppositionLitterally suffering from success
>>65092293USA knows the next thing will be obsolete before it's virgin flight
>>65092293At this rate, they'll eventually be able to 3d-print them.
>>65092293However Congress approved a 103 airframe minimum. Does the extension hinder in any way the fact that the USAF will nearly halve the fleet?>>65092445The fuck does that even mean? The A-10 mostly fires PGMs. Why the hell would you CCIP unguided rockets from 2000 ft away when the APKWS has a 6 mile range?
>>65092293One does not retire the A10. The A10 retires you. The A10 never dies. The A10 is immortal.
>>65092293I'd be okay with the A-10 fibally being retired if something had its loiter time for CSAR/Sandy, crew protection, and general cost effectiveness. People may shit on the GAU-8 for not being able to do much against tanks. But do you know what the GAU-8 is effective against? Literally everythibg else.
Chuck Norris' first born son was a warthog. He cried tears of BRRRRRRRTTTT
>>65092293USA is out of gold and has to spam skirmishers halberdiers and A-10's
>>65092293A-10, Burkes, M2, M4, B-52 on Mars.
>>65092293>Hegseth sleps the A10 after trying to kill off awacs procurementIs he actually retarded?
>>65092610It will brrrt for eternity
>>65092683>sleps
>>65092303Difference is, Burke’s are actually useful.
>>65092501>the GEs were replaced with gravity drives on swivel mounts in the 2080s>3rd-gen railguns were added to the weapons suite in the 2060s; micro-missiles and "one-way" drone cluster canisters, shortly after>they now fly with "slave" wingman interceptor drones more often than not>most in-flight comms, nav, and inter-craft systems are operated by an onboard AI>>they're building a facility on Phobos to manufacture more 30mm barrels for the main gunMy COCK is ERECT
>>65092786They won't be when they're still being built in 2070.
All jets will be the A10All rifles will be the m4All pistols will be the 2011All humans will be crabs
>>65092293A hundred years from now there will be a military myth of one of these piloted by a zombie or a ghost or some shit about it being still out there, on fire and patrolling.
>>65092293>Retard GWOT failmajor meddling in things he shouldn't based on his narrow experience of war
>>65092683Yes, yes he is.>>65092733NTA>Service Life Extension Program>SLEP
>>65092293Somewhere, an air force colonel is finishing a bottle of Jack while turning his wrists into a barcode because he has to keep dealing with these fucking things
>Extend life of something that is an proven failure in the world of 2026why?
>>65092293>Thank you, POTUSDont tell me that Donnie had a hand in this?
>>65094595>anESLs hate the A-10 confirmed
They're going to keep delaying retirements until we get a new dedicated rotary cannon attacker to replace it.
>>65095057Rotary cannon[spoiler], with a drone build around it. [/spoiler]
>>65094595>concerned shill centralMight as well put up Dr ching ching to say China number 1 in 2030/35/40
A-10 UAVs when? If theyre missile trucks you may as well.
give them to ukraine
>>65092293nothing personal, kid>gentle, polite brrrrrrrrrt
>>65092501You forgot the B-52ZHs.>>65092792>Gravity drives with swivelsIt would have been cool to see A-10s alongside hovercraft in the Matrix.
>>65092303BURKES ON MARS
>>65092671but will the USA get buffed handcannoneers?
>>65092658Sheen, it's the 7th time you posted that.You know what's also effective against "everything else" that's not a tank? 20mm and 25mm.
>>65095737No. It gets Dodge Vipers.
>average F-15/16/18/35 story:The flight penetrates the enemy air defense network, destroyed key infrastructure, critical radar and missile platforms to allow for further operations and has eliminated the ability for the opposing force to operate fixed wing aircraft because they're all smoking wreckage. >average A-10 storyElements of Operation Eagle Hellstorm (2 Humvees patrolling outskirts of local village) came under fire from insurgent force of three guys with rusty AKs and the village rapist. Brrrt in the vague direction the fire was coming from caused those dudes to run off and proves this capability is critical in America's warfighting arsenal.
