>The indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract will be worth up to $3 billion, L3Harris said in a release Monday. The initial program contract award is for $170 million.
They don't cost 40 million.
Bribes and corporate welfare for L3Harris. Corruption doesn't come cheap.

Holy shit, imagine if SOCOM actually ends up spending three billion in this, they'll have a few hundred of angry mosquitoes clapping people with hellfire missiles and 50 cal Gatling guns.

Opinion discarded. The $170 million contract for low rate production and support for the first 6 OA-1Ks would come out to $28m each, with price falling over production.

lol every nation that chose disagrees, the Tractor was only chosen because it wasn't the AT-6, the A-29 won every competition and wasn't selected due to Republican interference.
Even Ukraine wants A-29s to work in tandem with their helos.

>In November 2011 it was revealed that the Beechcraft AT-6B had been excluded from the competition by the USAF, leaving the Embraer A-29 the probable winner, with a contract expected to be awarded in December 2011.[13] According to GAO: “the Air Force concluded that HBDC [Hawker Beechcraft Defense Company] had not adequately corrected deficiencies in its proposal. In this regard, the agency concluded that multiple deficiencies and significant weaknesses found in HBDC’s proposal make it technically unacceptable and results in unacceptable mission capability risk”. Hawker Beechcraft's protest against its exclusion was dismissed.[14]
On December 30, 2011, the USAF announced that the A-29 had been awarded the contract.[15] But the contract award was disputed and a stop-work was issued the following January.[16] All motions will be due to U.S. Court of Federal Claim by March 6, 2012.[17] >A re-awarding of the contract was expected in January 2013,[18] but was delayed a few months.[19] The A-29 was reawarded the contract on February 27, 2013.[20][21] And Beechcraft again challenged the contract.[22] But the USAF ordered that the construction start anyway.[23] Beechcraft's allies in the Kansas Republican congressional delegation then called for the work to be stopped,[24] while Embraer's Floridan congressional allies praised the USAF's move.[25] The USAF has instructed for work to continue unless a federal court orders otherwise.[26] The United States Court of Federal Claims upheld the USAF's decision to proceed with the contract work.[27]
It means this thread is back on the right path, now all we need is a couple of German posters seething about it. Then we'll have completed all the checkmarks.
I raise my Stinger up to the sky and swat it like a fly.
I run into a cornfield and hit the deck. Trust me, I've seen it on tv
*dusts your crops*
>The OA-1K is approaching your position at 70 knots
Well, at that speed it would be stalling, so I wouldn't be worried.
How the fuck did they make a crop duster with some stuff bolted on cost 40 million dollars, half the price of a fucking F-35?

LONG NOSE bro

The red is the blood of the birds that it has minced to bits.
The hook-nosed one is dangerous, I told y'all.
The longer nose better enables it to smell the metallic odor from the pennies dropped on the ground.

*Gets in my car and escapes at 71 knots*
Now, because you have stolen our plumber sky-tracktor tech like chinks, you have to gib us B-21, it's only fair.
Why not a modernized A-37?
The tooling to make them doesn't exist anymore.
>>The OA-1K is approaching your position at 70 knots

Not very.
I contracted that guy to spray a couple hoppers of malathion on my basedbeans.
Sounds based, for some reason.
