A-4 / A-7 Question
In article ,
says...
It almost sounds like the 30mm Caseless Pods that can be mounted under
Fighters making even an A-4 into a tank killer. That died when the A-7
did. Too bad. The A-7E was a superior AC to the A-10 when armed with the
30mm caseless chain gun. To upgrade the A-7 to an AC with the F/A-18
perfomance would have cost appr. 3.5 million per copy. versus how much for
an A-10 that requires constant TopCap? Another Congressional Boondoggle.
Anyone know what he is talking about ?
I've not heard of any system like this before.
