[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, there is some merit in some of the older technologies.  Remember that they were designed for a different type of war - Fulda Gap scenario.  The requirements back then were heavy armor battles to stop a Soviet invasion of Western Europe.

Unfortunately, the Pentagon hasn't seen fit to turn over A-10's and Vulcan cannons yet?  A-10's would provide the close-in ground support needed to deal with defensive lines.  Vulcan cannons are useful against UAVs and bunkers.  Their range is also better against bunkers and ground targets.

I'd find it difficult to believe that Russian infantry wouldn't freak out once they see what a gatling gun does to a fixed defensive position, or what an A-10 would do to a bunker.

If anyone says an A-10 is obsolete technology, they're lying or ignorant.  It has the best survival rate of any aircraft in US history.

"The A-10 force, flying more than 8,000 combat sorties, suffered only five A-10s destroyed (a loss rate of . 062 percent). Twenty of these aircraft returned with significant battle damage, and forty-five others returned with light damage that was repaired between sorties."

Crazed link lady, they are slow, have no spare parts lying around, and they’re difficult to repair by untrained individuals.  [/quote]

Ohh.  Touched a nerve there?

You're either talking from your lower mouth or a lying Russian throwing shade.

Slow means, unlike the Russian frogfoot counterpart, it can hit ground targets.

The "light damage was repaired between sorties" means they're easily repaired by swapping out sections.  That also means that, unlike the F-16's, they're easier to train on by mechanics and far more forgiving due to their rugged components.  They're also designed to land on roads in a pinch.  Remember these were designed specifically to fight the former Soviet Union.

So you'd agree that A-10's and Vulcan cannons should be a part of future arms packages that should help take down Russian troops quickly.
