    I don’t think that’s actually real.

    Also a fun fact: Sea Sparrows are some of the missiles used in Ukraine for air defense right now. They’re launching then from Soviet land-based anti-aircraft vehicles somehow.

        Thought it was a European sparrow rather than a north American.

        Little faster due to a lower unladen weight.

            All I’m saying is, it’s not a matter of fuel efficiency, it’s a simple matter of weight ratios. A one ton missile cannot be manufactured and deployed without a comparably sized carbon footprint.

      I have not done this but: literally search the post word for word. Weird to just throw out “I don’t think this is real” like we’re in the woods in 1945 and a plane accidentally dropped a ream of newspapers saying the Nazis surrendered.

        Before I replied, I did do a search for the post word for word and I found people saying that it isn’t real and no evidence that it is real. That’s what made me think it isn’t actually real.

          They were completely in the wrong to lash out at you in this case, but damn:

          like we’re in the woods in 1945 and a plane accidentally dropped a ream of newspapers saying the Nazis surrendered

          This comparison is savage and might be useful in the right situation. I’m gonna add it to my collection.

          You looked it up and lots of people agreed on what they consider reality? Sounds like a conspiracy…

        I searched for this tweet and did not find it. All I find is reddit Behind the Bastard posts that find it funny, but many say it is not real. What a suprise. Not.
