Wombat-socho versus Europeans. Rule Five Sunday: The Ghost of Safeguard-chan Watches Over Us
A couple of weeks ago on X I was inspired to rip on various Euros who thought they were some kind of classy for having various tatterdemalion castles scattered about by pointing out that not only did we have pyramids, we could afford to build them in the middle of nowhere and have them shoot down ICBMs. One thing led to another, and Grok drew me a pic of Safeguard-chan, maintaining her lonely vigil amidst the wheatfields of North Dakota.
Clic thru for Safeguard-chan.

We had functioning ABMs that actually were so accurate they could get kinetic kills on incoming warheads, the Sprint and the Spartan. Sprint was an extremely fast killer cone of Mach10 death while Spartan was it's slower but very longer range brother.
ReplyDeleteI got to see both get launched and intercept dummy warheads.
And, yes, Safeguard-chan. She was a powerful lady.
