A-10s Get Another Year?

摘要

The US House Armed Services Committee markup (notes and amendments added to proposed legislation) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 banned any retirements of Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt IIs for a year and requires that no more than four Boeing E-3 Sentry Airborne Early Warning and Control Systems can be withdrawn in 2015. Changing the operational requirements or retiring the Lockheed Martin U-2S intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft from service was also barred.
