    France: “Why would I want to do that?”

      I mean, the opportunity for petty payback is real, for sure, but… I bet the french had dozens if not hundreds of war plans detailing using Germany as an excellent kill box for incoming Warsaw Pact tank divisions.

      this reminds me, now that we’re seeing ATACMS doing daily damage to Russians, it would have been pretty fucking cool if they had fielded the BAT-ATACMS system. That shit would be great; still more expensive than drones, but woof.
