F35 vs. A10?

[Speaker to Animals]

DOT FY2016, 3 years out of date, Winslow.

Can you link to where this problem was fixed?

[Smitty-48]

Which problem? The F-35B's flew a CAS mission in Afghanistan from the Indian Ocean; CAS is combat tested.

[Smitty-48]

Who needs CAS anyway? That is so 3rd generation warfare. This is 5th generation warfare. Get with the times fuddosaurus rex

The vast majority of CAS is flown by F-16.

The vast majority of ordinance dropped therein is GBU-12 500 lb bomb.

Literally a C-130 Hercules could do it.

In fact, the C-130 is the preferred CAS platform.

No asset is requested more for air support, than the AC-130 Gunship.

Winslow Wheeler, Pierre Sprey, Bill Sweetman, Dave Majumdar, Tyler Rogoway, this is like the CNN of Fake Reform Hacks. Tyler is Fake Reform Don Lemon.

Best low intensity CAS tandem is to have an F-35 Quarterbacking for the AC-130. EODAS ftw.

Bets high intensity CAS platform is F-35, because nothing else will make it to the target. VLO ftw.

Lockheed now getting fully involved in ground combat for the 21st C, with it's new all weather, do everything design, and a price tag American taxpayers can handle.

That's fucking cheap. Imagine how many we could sell to India
Perfect for taking the fight to to the pakis

You guys need to your head of marketing at Lockheed, get me on the payroll too.
