U.S. Air Force sells A-10s to ISIS
RAMADI, IRAQ -- The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) received twelve A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft this morning, as the U.S. Air Force divests itself of the venerable attack jet.
"I've flown the A-10 my entire career," said Air Force Chief of Staff General Mark Welsh, "so I'm well aware how hard our Air Force has tried to kill this aircraft over the past few decades. But by selling all 300 A-10s to ISIS, we can fund the purchase of one, possibly even two more F-35s."
Abu Sayaaf al-Ramadi, a local ISIS warlord, spoke highly of the deal.
