[QUOTE="Tezz500, post: 16919172, member: 78589"] Just Brainstorming Cost effectiveness.... The Lockheed C-130J Super Hercules costs around [B]$75.5 million[/B] per aircraft. When the costs for upgrades and maintenance are factored in, the total cost for an A-10 Warthog is roughly [B]$18.8 million.[/B] Not taking into account the 7 man crew on a Ghostrider vs a single pilot in an A-10. Again this is just my brain storming on what platform can replace the A-10 for CAS.... I think Id rather have 4 A-10s I can dispatch to multiple locations than 1 C130J... What about Apaches or Vipers? Alot slower... much less survivability... Range is gonna be VERY limited compared to the A-10... and they cost a shit ton more than the A-10... Check this guy out: A14 Wild Wolf... [MEDIA=youtube]uKJ-D9HY-Do[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]UPVjLsgxyG8[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
