GOV/MIL Remember Last Year When A-10s Landed On The Highway In Michigan?

[Wildweasel]

And all the stink people raised about it for weeks before it happened? Well, they did it again today with nary a peep about it anywhere until news of it being over came out.

And this time the A-10s were refueled and re-armed while they were on the ground. Story link from The Aviationist with 2 embedded videos.

A-10Cs Refueled And Rearmed For The First Time On A U.S. Highway During Northern Agility Exercise - The Aviationist

Must be getting ready for the Russians to invade

Must be getting ready for the Russians to invade

Or to use the A-10s on American citizens.

Must be getting ready for the Russians to invade

If you remember, Russia and China are having exercises inside the Arctic Circle…

OA

 

[Voortrekker]

Good training and I don't see any suspicious conspiracy theory material here.

Like they need an A-10 to take out you EV.

Russia can't put landing craft into Odesa and they owned it for 70 years. Having a lot of trouble imagining them driving tanks over the tundra of northern Canada

Sound like something Biden recently said.

They would probably use anti-tank missiles against Ford F-150s

More likely.
Why invade? Vlad can just sit back and watch the implosion.

Maybe the practice is for landings that may be needed on European highways, if nato’s bases were compromised.

" A 9mm can blow the whole battery out."

 

[Ractivist]

The A 10 makes most all of America a soft target........a burp here, a burp there.... I pray they are never used against Americans. Would be a serious game changer if in the hand of patriots who get the big picture, as all the shi. hits the fan. Wish we had more of them.... There's a reason they've been trying to get rid of them.

My neck of the woods in the U.P. They detoured traffic for hours and the State police was given orders to arrest anyone trying to get into the restricted area. Heard and then saw one of the A-10’s after it had refueled and rearmed (they brought in tankers and lifts for the bombs and missile loads). Heard that whine and knew instantly what it was, caught a glimpse of him and he had a full load out. Surmise he was loitering or sight seeing a bit before flying back downstate to Battle Creek where the 127th is based.

Nah, ford can grenade on it's own with cam phasers.

Quantum Field Theory or Quite F--king True. I think Dennis meant the first one

We should be using A-10s on our southern border every single day.
And they should never land except after they have expended all their munitions.

Wouldn’t take very long. Let them know your serious and the illegal crossings stop. Reinstitute Trump’s policies and for repeat offenders five years hard labor might dissuade them from trying a third time. I would keep a few A-10’s on station to fire up the drug runners though……

 

[Vulture45-70]

What the Interstate Highways were built for under President Ike. Every 50 or 100 miles was to be a straight stretch so plane could land on the Interstates. Oh How we FORGET

I'd be bloody happy they got it done. Indicates preparedness and proficiency.

Kudos to the squadron.

There are no A-10s left at the ANG in Battle Creek. They were moved to Selfridge years ago. All Battle Creek has now is Drone Control.

Sounds like Hancock Field.

True but Trudo I up there would probably invite them in just to get total control over “his citizens “.

Shows how long I’ve been living in the U.P. now.

I thought The Boys From Syracuse moved up to the Ft Drum airfield to be with the drones and ground crews. The pilots and control stations stayed in Syracuse?

But but but...that's racist! /sarc off

Lets see em do it with a B-52

Yup.

As far as Tanks over Tundra. You really think they cannot Parachute them in? We do.

Or all those Chinese Cargo Ships loaded with "Goods" port and a flood of Chinese Soldiers and gear flood out-do it simultaneously in different Ports including right North and South of the Border and there's gonna be Issues.ound from a .50 MG will go from one end to the other and exit, killing anything in-between including the driver. Mag of 5.56, 7.62 or even 9mm is going to go completely thru everything but the Engine block.

Car doors, Trees, Bushes, Trash Can, Walls-that only stops Bullets in the Movies.

 

[Satanta]

As far as the OP. In Normal times I would be cheering it on as a Great idea. However, the people in Control are not our Friends nor on our Side. The people running the Military are now Them.

FiB, IcA and the rest-Them.

MSM-Them.

You get the picture and, if you Voted for Trump, have expressed anything not In Line with their Party Line, White, White Male, Christian or Conservative, even Center Left-you are the Enemy and they are planning to Eradicate you.

Period.

 

[Signwatcher]

To be honest, I'm not even sure if the A-10s are at Selfridge any more.

Left working at the AAFES store on Base in 2018 and don't know what is going on in that realm any longer.

 

[SurvivalRing]

Heard nothing about the NG landing another C130 north of town, like they did last October...
