It’s a good thing that the Air Force generals who want to retire the beloved A-10 Warthog were not around 70 years ago.

If they were, Josef Stalin might have had them shot.

GAO Slams Air Force’s A-10 Divestment Plan

Citat:The Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a preliminary report that challenges the Air Force’s efforts to mothball the venerable A-10. The Air Force had two primary arguments for retiring the A-10: retirement would save money, and it wouldn’t negatively impact our capability to protect ground troops. The GAO report calls both into question.

The report, written in response to a provision included in the FY 2015 National Defense Authorization Act, says the Air Force’s estimates of savings which would result from the retirement of the A-10 are incomplete.

New report pokes holes in USAF’s argument for retiring the A-10
Citat:The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) has raised doubts about a US Air Force claim that retiring the Fairchild Republic A-10C Thunderbolt II would save the government $4.2 billion over five years, and says capability gaps will emerge without the close-in attack aircraft.

In a new report sent to Congress, the GAO says that the savings estimate is “incomplete and may overstate or understate” the actual amount. The document also claims that alternative cost-saving measures raised by the air force “were rough estimates that were illustrative only and not fully considered as alternatives to A-10 divestment”.
