A-10s To Conduct Drills Landing And Flying-Off U.S. Highways

 

Warzone/The Drive: A-10 Warthogs Are About To Operate From A U.S. Highway For The First Time  

We have seen USAF highway exercises in Europe and the Pacific, and now they are coming closer to home. 

For the first time in recent history, the U.S. Air Force is going to take its aircraft out onto highways in the United States for an exercise. Four A-10C Warthog attack aircraft and a pair of C-146A Wolfhound special operations transports are due to take part in the road-landing drill, which is a part of the wider Exercise Northern Strike. As well as being a unique event in the United States, the upcoming highway deployment reflects the ever-increasing importance of dispersed operations for the U.S. military, including as part of the Air Force’s Agile Combat Employment (ACE) initiative. 

The highway exercise will take place on August 5 and is being run by the Michigan Air National Guard. With the help of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). A stretch of the Michigan State Highway M-32 near Alpena will be closed off for five hours, as the A-10s and C-146s touch down there.

WNU Editor: In a peer-to-peer conflict the airports are going to be bombed. You are going to have to use the highway network as an airport alternative.

Yeah that and Democrats want to ensure that they can spread their version of democracy to the last corners of the US, and the A10 is a great tool for that

Kamala suggested regime change in Guatemala and Honduras.

Of course the Chinese never ever changed a regime overseas. Like Hungary or East Germany ... or Africa.
