Testing an A10 that has literally landed on roadways in more countries than I can remember. Asphalt, concrete, clay, dirt and grassy fields. (uBoob for the video)
Yeah, I call BS on the "testing" unless it was a test of that specific patch of road or training for new pilots etc.
Right. But is that like D.C and the Federal Government, or the United States of America? Because they are claiming this is the first landing on U.S Soil. Does that mean U.S soil has not existed until this moment?
I dunno I think you've lost me or it's going over my head. I was born abroad on a US military installation. In the eyes of the USA and in the eyes of the law I was and am a US citizen because the Military base is considered US Soil. That base is an extention of the United States of America.
In regards to the article, the USA doesn't normally train for this sort of thing because ... well ... we haven't had a need to. So its a bit jarring to see. There is a hidden message here and its concerning when we have to start having our service men and women train to land and take off from roadways. It shows that there is a concern in the military that airstrips have become unreliable. Either becasue of takeover, denial or destruction.
Airstrips are a common first strike target to deny air superiority of the defender. Being able to land on and take off from non-airstrips is common training world wide.
The article states that it was to “demonstrate how active duty and reserve-component units can integrate to project combat airpower in austere environments”, but we all know the left would have been freaking out if this were to have happened when Trump was in the White House.
This is true. Straight sections with no overpasses.
Heard the same thing 30 years ago
Interdasting. I’m also guessing they didn’t practice with vehicles in the way. Now that would be the true test of landing skills, Kek.

Gotta get the normies used to this sort of thing, methinks.
Are Air Force bases and airports classified as part of the United States? Or are they land owned by the Federal Government?
All US Military bases are considered US Soil. No mater where they are located.

Hmmmmm, wonder why they did that?

Maybe they've decided to occupy American soil. If so, are they doing it on behest of America, or the Federal Government?
WTF were they testing?
