Raytheon, I don't think you can greenwash weapon manufacturing.
For every person you kill we plant a tree. It's both good for the environment and a very visible kill count.
You could argue that just killing people is statistically good for the planet.

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.

When they do this, it's called a Sea Spaciva. π
Thought it was a European sparrow rather than a north American.
Little faster due to a lower unladen weight.
Are you suggesting anti-air missiles migrate?
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.

Hey capitalism, how's it going?

I do believe it says the sea sparrow is the most environmentally friendly anti-air missile.

For every missile fired we will plant a fucking tree
To be fair, people and airplanes are very bad for the environment.
I wouldn't be surprised if a tactical nuke was a net positive for the environment.
A nuke destroys whole ecosystems...
Chernobyl is doing pretty well now that it's completely uninhabitable by humans...
Plenty of things will survive it, and the removal of the humans in the area may be a net positive.

I bet it generates a lot of carbon when used though :(
But think of the jet emissions reduction it leads to!
I hate that this isn't a meme.
Ed: lolol 300+ mindless upvotes and the poster is the sub mod. Awesome.
Why do communities exist if people are going to dump everything in one place and are rewarded for doing so?

If you're going to be unfriendly to people, the least you can do is be friendly to the ecosystem.

Well weapons are going to be made and used anyway, it's better if they're environmentally friendlier I suppose
