MRAPs going to Iraq on Russian cargo planes
By Erik Holmes - Staff writer
The Air Force has been forced to use Russian commercial cargo jets to
rush mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles from the U.S. to Iraq
because it does not have enough C-5 and C-17 planes to do the job, the
service’s top civilian official said recently.
Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne said at an Oct. 24 House Armed
Services Committee hearing that American reliance on Russian Antonov
jumbo jets to move critical war supplies indicates that the Air Force
may need more than its current 300 C-5s and C-17s.
“We are now sharing the mission of flying MRAPs over to Iraq between
C-17s and Antonov airplanes,” Wynne said.
“Did [we] truly envision that we would fly war supplies with
Russian-made airplanes? I don’t know.”
MRAP vehicles are the Defense Department’s top procurement priority,
and the department this month ordered an additional 2,400 to help
protect American servicemembers from roadside bombs in Iraq.
The department has said it needs 15,274 MRAPs for all the services.
Wynne said the U.S. military has used the enormous Antonov planes to
transport more than 200,000 pounds of cargo to Iraq.
Rep. Jim Saxton, R-N.J., said he was unaware that the Antonov
airplanes are being used so extensively in the war effort.
The Russian-made Antonov An-124 is 25 percent larger than the C-5, the
U.S. Air Force’s largest cargo plane.
The AN-24 is operated primarily by Russian and Ukrainian freight
companies, according to the Web site, Airliners.net.

"R" does not know anything about what he does. Even I knew, and I am not
the one approving the expenditures.

This is what happens when the war is on other side of the planet. We
should be illegally occupying a closer country with oil, like Canada.
Because if we follow the trends that these neo-cons are setting, the
next oil war will be around the Caspian Sea, and that won't work. You
see, there is another country up there that wants that oil and they even
make cargo planes that are 25% bigger than our C-5.
But this is not a new story. When I heard it the first time, all I could
think of is that now we are slowly working out how do occupations in
countries where the people want us to leave.

The whole point of the article is that the Air Force is shot on the
cargo carrying capacity it needs to rapidly deploy the MRAP, and has
to rely on Russian cargo jets to get the vehicles to Iraq.
I swear to God, the Republican party is digging deep into the sewer to
dredge up stupid, rightard fucks like you.

Quite the misworded subject. Nowhere in the article does it say the
Air Force has been "forced" to use the Russian aircraft. Typical
libtard BS.
First sentence of the article: "The Air Force has been forced to use Russian
commercial cargo jets..."

MRAPs going to Iraq on Russian cargo planes
By Erik Holmes - Staff writer
The Air Force has been forced to use Russian commercial cargo jets to
rush mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles from the U.S. to Iraq
because it does not have enough C-5 and C-17 planes to do the job, the
service's top civilian official said recently.
Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne said at an Oct. 24 House Armed
Services Committee hearing that American reliance on Russian Antonov
jumbo jets to move critical war supplies indicates that the Air Force
may need more than its current 300 C-5s and C-17s.
"We are now sharing the mission of flying MRAPs over to Iraq between
C-17s and Antonov airplanes," Wynne said.
"Did [we] truly envision that we would fly war supplies with
Russian-made airplanes? I don't know."
MRAP vehicles are the Defense Department's top procurement priority,
and the department this month ordered an additional 2,400 to help
protect American servicemembers from roadside bombs in Iraq.

One more time for the libtards out there, the first line of the story

Sheesh. You are really asking for this beating?
The article says "forced to use".
It does not specify the method pf payment.
Now if you are elevating the payment method for use of their equipment to
paramount importance, then you are a bigger fool than I thought you were.
