While complaints about cost are justifiable, everything else there was fallacious.

This is fucking dumb

Not only has the A-10 been out of production since the 80's, and Fairchild Republic defunct.
It cost $18 million back in the 70-80's, which is around $50-60 million in todays dollars. Don't forget putting it into production again could make it even more expensive

It also shows the A-10 being like some wonder attack aircraft, though in reality, it has lower payload and inferior sensors(lol what sensors?) than F-35

They even bring up old F-35 myths(muh can't fly in rain, muh jack of all trades, master of none) and wrong price scale, and thinks $1.5 trillion over the course of 50 years including R&D is somehow high, despite it's been estimated keeping legacy airframes in service will cost even more trillions

And this was made in fucking 2016

1 fifth the cost of the F-35, and does absolutely nothing ! beautiful!

Definately it brings up a good point, huge costs come from having thousands of involved companies/contractors
If it was just one vertically integrated company, you'd probably be building it at a quarter of the price.

Wheres the Elon Musk of the defense industry?

I fucking hate it when /pol/ leaks.

Seriously. Funny how when people talk about deleting /pol/ they threaten to post /pol/ shit everywhere when they already do. Funnier still is how that's analogous to the whole "if you bomb jihadists you make more jihadists" thing which /pol/ thinks is bs.

There's overhead involved, but it's far outweighed by the savings of not having to have your own special manufacturing facilities.

Buying nuts and screws and rivets from a company that produces a million a day for a hundred different companies is a lot cheaper than having to buy all of those facilities and try to match their efficiency and productivity.
