Looks like the US is really beefing things up around Philippines, and, judging from the comments, most Filipinos are glad to see it.

Another vid shows F-16's arriving for air combat drills:

What’s the home base of these A-10’s? There’s a squadron here at Selfridge air base in S.E. Michigan

Is the Phillipines closer to the Middle East than, say the East Coast of the US. The A10 is a ground support, anti tank tool. By the time there are tanks on Taiwan, I imagine there will be hundreds of transport ships and a couple of aircraft carriers on the bottom of the straits. In other words, it will be over.

I COULD see them in the skies over Yemen, shooting up some Houthi. Or flying over souther Lebanon.

The only other place that would make any sense is Korea. But again,they would more likely be in Japan.

OS on the tail would indicate they are out of Osan Korea. Providing security to the DMZ and preventing Kim Jong Un from invading South Korea.

In the novel The Hunt for Red October one of the more interesting scenarios was distracting a Soviet fleet near the US with regular fighter bombers and then having several A-10s come in low and slow with their guns ready. Those 30mm DU shells would do major damage to any ship, especially if they hit munitions stores.

Sorry for lack of my replies - when I’d try to reply I’d end up back at the original thread page instead of the reply page.
