Best GWOT memorial I’ve heard was someone suggesting a burn pit with an eternal flame and we throw money into it. I think we could do a dollar a minute and it’d only be half a million per year
@TimOnPoint@realgreggd And every minute, a single dollar bill floats down into the burn pit, to be consumed (thanks to Rent I know that feature would add a mere $525,600 per year)
The GWOT Memorial should be a 24/7, 365 days a year KBR DFAC run by Filipino and Pakistani indentured servants and serving and endless supply of boiled eggs, ice cream, metrx, ripits, and piss bottles… I mean Gatorade.
Out front there should be a weapons clearing barrel for visiting JOs to shoot into, and a handwashing station that nobody uses.
It should be surrounded by t-walls and feature maximum dust production (mud if it rains), and have an open burn pit slightly upwind.
Over the entrance, a single solemn sentence, “They will greet us as liberators.”
It should cost a trillion dollars.
Ukraine isn't testing the SKYNEX air defense system anymore. It's using it - and the results are rewriting Europe's defense orders.
All four SKYNEX systems pledged by Germany have been delivered and are operational. Developed by Rheinmetall, each unit combines a 35mm automated anti-aircraft cannon with radar-guided targeting and a networked battle management system - designed specifically to intercept Shahed-type drones before they reach their targets.
Ukraine's Air Force called the results "impeccable." Rheinmetall is now planning to scale production to 400 systems per year by 2027 - a decision driven directly by what Ukraine proved in combat.
The drone war created the demand. Ukraine created the proof of concept.
