LOCKMART

It’s not a particularly well-known operation, but in 2003 the SEALs and Polish Grom conducted a joint operation (alongside the USN, RAN, and British Royal Marines) to seize several Iraqi oil platforms during the initial invasion.

With the US now maybe leaving Europe on its own, I propose the noncredible idea of churning out a Euro-CAN fleet of 1000s of Sopwith Camels:

-Easy to restart Canadian aerospace manufacturing to supply a US-less NATO (the planes are just fabric and wood meaning that even… Canadian procurement shudders can get hold of it)

-These sustainable materials mean there will no longer be aerospace-related resource concerns and everything needed can be produced domestically in the countries that need them (autarky!)

-The Camel’s crazy low operating speeds and tight turn radius mean it can outmaneuver any SAMs fired at it

-Any SAMs that are a threat will simply be shot at by the pilot with a revolver

-Way more affordable than modern aircraft

-The cool, classic vibes of the plane will counteract the immense gravitational pull of the pilot’s massive titanium balls

I will accept promotions or payment for my ideas in person only, please DM me for my full home and work addresses and bank account info to facilitate this 🇨🇦🇪🇺❤️

"Umm well actually it's for aircraft carriers and such" YES and we have ramps and catapults for that.
