Extending the A-10 to 2030 preserves proven combat power while the defense industrial base scales aircraft production. Training the Airmen who will employ it starts in #TheFirstCommand. ✈️
In consultation with @SecWar, we will EXTEND the A-10 “Warthog” platform to 2030. This preserves combat power as the Defense Industrial Base works to increase combat aircraft production.
