The F-35’s Class A flight mishap rate at this point in its history is quite good compared to other aircraft at that point in their history!

US bombers should be renamed missilers because, these days, they tend to drop missiles more than bombs.

The A-10 NEEDS to retire (BUT WE CAN’T LET IT)
The A10 is an obsolete aircraft. It has found a role against weaker enemies, but in a peer-to-peer conflict, the aircraft is not survivable. At this point, it’s not worth the costs to keep it around. It shouldn’t be replaced with a one-to-one aircraft. It’s role of close-ground support where the craft flies just 200 feet above the ground is not survivable in modern combat against peer-to-peer competitors.
It may be worth keeping around while the US industrial base takes forever to build new aircraft. It can fight drones in the meantime and even launch long-range missiles from the air. In a fight against China, the US will need all the long-range air missile launchers it can get.

Iran Didn’t Get Lucky—We Made It Easy
The Air Force has a doctrine where it should spread out planes and move which bases they fly from so it’s harder to take them out. The US apparently wasn’t practicing that doctrine, and is paying for it.
It is more expensive to move maintenance teams around or have different teams available at multiple bases.

The Iran Escalation Trap | Robert Pape | TMR
Regime change wars have never been successful from the air with conventional weapons. Administrations get wooed by the ability to strike targets with precision from afar, and forget that blowing a bunch of stuff up and killing important people doesn’t end a regime’s ability to suppress its people or fight back.
