Soylent Pudding posted:My unserious reaction to seeing that convoy is "how fast can we get the Ukrainians an A-10?" It's very strange to me that A-10s could potentially operate as designed, against the Russian loving Army without getting immediately blotted out of the sky by, you know, the world class IADS the Russians are supposed to possess. Yet here we are watching Ukrainian drones dunk on armored columns repeatedly. M_Gargantua posted:Aren't A-10's incredibly susceptible to any sort of modern MADPAD or SAM? Like great in an uncontested environment where the dirt doesn't shoot back, but these days I imagine 'fat and slow' to be asking to be killed. Oh yes, absolutely. See: Desert Storm and the restrictions placed on them to keep them out of harms way. However, Russian air defense seems to be a clownshow at the moment.... You just know some pilot somewhere saw that convoy packed 3 or 4 trucks wide across the road, a mile long, and got all giddy. Arrath fucked around with this message at 21:45 on Feb 28, 2022 |

Random question: does CTIS also function as onboard air? Like, is there a 1/4" Quick coupler or 3/4" chicago fitting so you can hook up air tools and effect repairs easier?

Naked Bear posted:Probably not and I don't think any of our trucks have something like this. You'd want bare minimum 80 psi to do anything with air tools and CTIS systems on most trucks don't generate that kind of pressure. More importantly, they aren't intended to be run at a high duty cycle like that except in an emergency (that is, they should only need to periodically pump more air in, not be constantly pumping air). I figured that was the case, thanks! I was just curious since my experience in operating heavy equipment with beefy air compressors (250-500psi) was that adding a qc line for air tools was a godsend when working on the pieces of poo poo.
