Soldier-deafening armoured vehicle ready to deploy

Post by Son of Mathonwy »

The Ajax armoured vehicle is ready for action, 8 years late. Shame you need ear plugs AND ear defenders to avoid permanent hearing damage, but defence contracts, eh, what can you do? Once we've forked out £5.5BN we'll take delivery of 589 of these tin boxes to await the cheap drones that will knock them out.

Still, they're named after a hero from the Iliad so at least classics scholars will be satisfied.
