The War Nerd: More proof the US defense industry has nothing to do with defending America | PandoDaily

If the RAAF - or rather the Australian government had an ounce of sense, they'd be offering the USAF to take every last A10 off their hands. Its an aircraft that actually does the job. The F35 is going to be totally useless in the kind of war that we have been and will be fighting. Expecting the UK to see the uselessness of the F35 may be beyond hope, but the Australians have a chance of realising that the aircraft they need is something that can be used really effectively against ground targets.
