I think you might be missing the point here. This topic is about light attack aircraft for the US, not allies (although some might and already have received them). That would be a different discussion. Most posts were about the feasibility and alternatives Mine was expressing the opinion that USAF never was serious about the mission or the requirement, they just want to own it, and that SOCOM is not just jumping in at the last minute but has always wanted this capability but is only now getting the opportunity to bring it to fruition. BTW, I fully expect that any day now, now that the program has been given to someone else, USAF will lobby that one of their drones such as Reaper would be the mostest bestest way to meet this important mission need (under their control, naturally), which of course they've always fully supported to the max.
