The A-10 does the job the same way the F-16 does, it circles at 30,000 ft and then drops shit downwards on coordinates.
I'm not sure what dropping shit from 6 miles away has to do with C.A.S., Close Air Support, B52s drop shit a lot better than a F35 would, and probably a lot cheaper. Where I'm from we have to tell the Hog Driver to stay above 500 ft over the eagle nesting areas because they don't have fun until they are below 150 feet.
But this again just proves my point, You don't understand your customer, you want your customer to change his method of operations to suit what you intend to supply and your unable to adapt to the realities of your market.
You guys just don't get it, your customer is the Grunt on the Ground, when your customer calls, he knows he's Danger Close. He not thinking there is a chance I might die from Friendly Fire, He's thinking there is a chance I might get out of this shit alive. Your Customer doesn't want a nice sterile surgical strike, He wants the Angel of Death raining down Hell fire and Brimstone.
I understand the Blue-shirts hate the A10, the down and dirty style of fighting the A10 excels at, goes against the grain of the Air Force psyche, that's find just tranfer the kit and cabootle to the Army; I'm sure the Cavalry will know how to use them.
The weak-link in the fight between aircraft and missiles has always been the meat-sack holding the stick turning into jelly before the missile does. Most Missiles have a g-limiter set around 10+ G's and the autopilot in the missile is programmed to over-correct so it always takes the shortest path to intercept. This forces the pilot to turn even sharper, he he can't because the missile is quite happy operating in G levels that will cause him to blackout. The only way the pilot can survive is to stay out of the no escape range.
Sorry, but if your in the Air Force and you're not a Pedro or a Hog drive or other A10 support you're a useless piece of shit and your breathing is a waste of oxygen. Trying to shoot an A10 is like trying to shoot a Barn Swallow, do you honestly think that an F35 is going to be any faster than an A10 is down low and dirty in the peasoup we call an atmosphere; if anything it's going to be slower. Comparing the F35 to an A10 is like comparing a semi truck to a dirt bike in the woods.
Low-frequency radar is a great tool. And it can indeed detect stealth craft. The problem is, you need a giant powerful broadcast, and you don't get location data. You just detect, "gosh there is something out there."
You think you're not getting location data because the wavelength is much longer and you need a good 10 lambdas wide antenna to achieve fairly good angular resolution. This leads to tactically impractical antenna sizes in the lower frequency ranges. But the truth is with GPS multiple receivers can be can be interconnected and used as a phase array. I would not be surprised if the software to do this couldn't be found at any university seismology lab. For that matter even triangulating signal arrival times, would get you plenty close enough to fire up the high powered illuminating transmitters from multiple locations.
It should be noted that turning, climbing, and running aren't terribly important if the other guy can't find you, target you, or shoot at you.
What's invisible today always becomes visible tomorrow that's when turning, climbing, and running are very important when the other guy finds you, targets you, and shoots.
It should be noted that turning, climbing, and running aren't terribly important if the other guy can't find you, target you, or shoot at you.
Because sooner or later, one of your opposing forces are going to figure out how to see what can't today be seen, that's when turning, climbing, and running become terribly important.
My teeth are so close together I can't even floss properly - the floss thread disintegrates and gets stuck between my teeth. I use mouthwash instead, which probably does the same time of job even better.
That's an orthodontic problem; a Dentist that doesn't discuss solutions with you about this has a piss poor standard of care.
It's not the cavities you really have to worry about, those are easy to fix, even interproximal (between teeth). What you have to worry about is the build up of bacterial biofilm called plaque, these bacteria release digestive enzymes that erode first the soft tissues of the gums and later the supporting bone. The body responds to the bacteria by the inflammation process. The inflamed tissue swells up and blood leaks more easily from the capillaries so your immune cells can get to the site of the infection, but it also makes it easier for the bacteria to get into the blood stream. This inflammation process exacerbates a lot of other systemic conditions from arthritis to diabetes to heart disease.
When you lose enough bone, your teeth are going to either get infected (root canal), break or fall out. Then you come see me, I make dentures, but you will not be happy because you've lost so much bone they'll be near useless to you. Guys like me are retiring left and right now, so when you need yours they'll probably be made by some Oriental guy that was a pig farmer 3 years ago.
No a UCMJ matter is something like storing a camo net on top of your shop that's is a classified container in violation of AR 380-5; much less than setting up an unauthorized email server and routinely transmitting classified information through it, both marked and unmarked.
Wrong answer the laws regarding safeguarding classified information does not require intent to be in violation, only neglect. The FBIs finding that "nothing that meets requirements for prosecution" in the current political environment is more an incitement of ubiquitous corruption in the Obama administration than an exoneration of Clinton.
(p) Any person having access to and possession of classified information is responsible for protecting it from persons not authorized access to it, to include securing it in approved equipment or facilities, whenever it is not under the direct supervision of authorized persons. 46 CFR 503.59 - Safeguarding classified information.

I actually look forward to Clinton being POTUS and being able to say "Only 3 Presidents have been impeached, a former slave-owner and a Husband and Wife; all Democrats."
I was at Atlanta in 1996, (Dept of Defense, Joint Task Force-Olympics (JTF-0)) big difference between what the public sees, the MSM decides to show the public and what happens behind the scenes. Knowing how well Atlanta went, and what a train-wreck it was behind the scenes, I can't imagine what kind of horror storey Rio is going to be.
Bullshit they use Inderal, Adderal and Provigil quite regularly just like professional poker players. The Adderal and Privigil keeps them wake and alert, the Inderal suppresses micro expressions that give away their lies and bluffs.
It's even giving me pause how deep the roots of Amazon and Facebook go in the internet, the only thing that surprises me now isn't how long ads for something I've looked at follow me, but that they don't stop after I've finally bought it.
One bizarre thing I've notice is a lot of links on Facebook to Uber-Conservative sites are redirecting to sites that my anti-virus is blocking in the last few days. I thought it was just my paranoia over some wonky adds served up on the sites, but now I'm not so sure. Seems like with all of the programming chops they have, it would be trivial to insert some malicious adverts into sites they disagree with philosophically.
The Democrat's hold on Michigan come From Detroit, Flint and Lansing all strong UAW or former UAW towns, oh yeah, Dearborn, also known as "Little Bagdad"; some how I don't see Trump filling any of those areas.
I call my secrets privacy, your secrets are called obstruction of justice; if you tell my secrets you're a snitch, if I tell your secrets I'm a whistle-blower. Wikileaks sounded like a good idea, but I always knew it was a double-edged sword, the Dems chuckled under their breath when Wikileaks became a "Let's bash Bush and America Society", now that their sights are set on outting of Hillary's and the Democrats secrets, I bet not so much.
In this day and age it's hard enough to not fall under a microscope for typical run-of-the-mill embarrassments, why tempt the fates with the bad stuff; karma is a harsh bitch.
When you get a security clearance, you sign a paper agreeing to not divulge classified information and to safeguard it; stupidity and carelessness are not mitigating factors. If anything the bar should be set higher for the Secretary of State because we expect our leaders to set the example; a competent leader can not discipline their subordinates for doing the same thing they are doing.
They have little choice, they have to at least try to maintain the illusion of impartiality. Liberal bias in the media has been a conservative meme for almost 1/2 a century, but most of Con assumed it was a selection bias from Liberals being disproportionately drawn to the field; now it looks like deliberate and ongoing collusion between MSM and the DNC.
He's probably hoping Hilldebeast wins the Presidency so he can continue to beat her up. If she wins, and she continue the endless string of fuck-ups she engaged in since before she was First Lady of Arkansas, he can just sit back and very smugly say "I not only told you so, but I did everything I could to to stop it."
She could easily set our foreign policy back an other 50 years, which wouldn't hurt Russia's interests at all. You have to admire the Russians, when they set their minds to achieving a goal, they laser-lock on it; often the work on achieving the goal is multi-generational. Every thing they do is geared toward achieving that goal. Anybody that thinks Russia is a different country just because it's not Communist any more is a fool.
No it'll be a reciprocity problem, to get things done you have to "horse trade" you lend support, you get support. You do people favors and they reciprocate, if enough people owe you favors , you become a power broker and can get bigger stuff done. Trump understands this system, you can't do the kind of property and construction deals he does without reciprocity, it may take him a while, but with enough time he'll be a major player in politics, the only questions are how much will be enough time and will he have enough of it?

No you throw up a bunch of lead and the aircraft runs into it.

No they are more concerned with the sponsor and licensing fees.

Perhaps that's a bit over due, since the demise of the Soviet Union and the rise of the EU the primary premise of NATO is a bit quaint anyway.
