Someone mentioned the A-10's are retired, I hadnt realised that, but yup they would be the perfect aircraft for Ukraine, A-10's and maybe Apache's.

It's going to take a while to train/convert Ukranian pilots to anything though, looks like this horrible war is going to drag on years, what a mess :(

The A10 is not retired ; the USAF have 281 of them, and are retiring the oldest 21, which means they`ll still have 260 of them
 
The only thing I don't like about turns posts is he doesn't provide links or evidence to the stuff he posts. He should make all his "quotes" and headlines hyperlinks so I can find out where it comes from and get more information

90%+ is from Reuters. I can't post the links always cause the article sometimes gets posted upto an hour later, but I do try to as much as possible.
I don't post any misinformation at all, so I think most posters trust me by now anyway. I also remember people didn't like the all caps, so I always use a capitalizer tool to make the text more readable for everyone aswell.

I'm having trouble remembering anyone discrediting Turn / 007's post content. I see the same stuff come up hours or sometimes days later from "normal" sources, so we're getting their fast access for free. Its certainly a lot more accurate and balanced than random twitter accounts.

They are brief with no opinion attached which is against the usual rules but there's always been overwhelming support hence the mods allowing it as a special case. @Turn Please continue unless mods say otherwise. I'm one of the many supporters. Its a lot better than people arguing with the thread trollbots.

Tbh no I tend to keep out of this thread unless reports are raised, which happened in the case of a number of your posts overnight.

As the consensus is that the posts are welcome I'll keep my oar out.

You might want to investigate who reported the posts. Most likely Russian supporters who are trying to suppress negative information.
