Twelve reasons to support the F/A-22
http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRe...d=108-03312004
The following is an opinion-editorial from the April 2004 issue of Air Force Magazine by Editor in Chief Robert S. Dudney: .... Some believe OMB schemed with the F/A-22's critics in the Pentagon to stack the deck against the fighter. They observe that USAF won't be allowed to take part in the review and can only answer questions when asked. The study will probably wind up this summer. We can expect to hear a number of plausible-sounding reasons for why it would be OK to decimate the F/A-22 program. Those arguments will either ignore or fudge certain facts, presented here for handy future reference. .... The F/A-22 is the only fighter able to autonomously counter anti-access threats on Day 1 of a war and thereby open the way for other US forces. So is SEAD a near-term or a long-term requirement of the F/A-22 program? -HJC |
