      It may be, but I’m kinda put off by the waste of lives and money spent on an industry that’s so despicable even a former general of the united states’ warned about.

      All because deluded old men need more land to Lord over.

      That being said I do still have a weak spot for the technology.

    I guess the D variants are too long range? They might cause an escalation?

      Not sure if you’re being sarcastic? We tried holding back pretty much for years but Russia has been escalating regardless. There’s no point anymore, the logical thing is to supply everything Ukraine can effectively make use of.

      D are more expensive than C. Might as well use up your stock piles to build upgraded variants.

      R-27ER already has a range of 130KM.
