      Well if the All England Lawn Tennis Club ever get ideas of a coup then we are prepared.

      Can it hit 10 tennis ball sized objects at once tho… Just one is not gonna cut it ..

      We are getting six units in three years time?????
      What about 600? We need to defend more than London or Faslane.
      What a joke

      so now we just need to identify a worthy enemy no bigger than a tennis ball and travelling at incredible speed.

      For some reason, I am reminded of the joke about a gorilla who can hit a golf ball onto the green of a par 5 in one swing. “So… how does he putt?” “The same way!”

      That’ll help with all the tennis ball objects at mach 2 that keep attacking this country. What’s that? That doesn’t happen? THEN WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT.

      But we still can’t pay a decent living wage and affordable housing for non immigrants/ refugees

      Basically there saying they can hit any drone targeting the UK from Russia when it starts.
      This is good maybe sell it to Ukraine then they won’t have to rely on America who has sold them out

      Can confirm, was bouncing tennis ball against side of garage this morning, had to get an Uber to work.

      Back to playing golf for me.

      Who TF is threatening us with tennis balls?
      Has the Russian military ran out of bullets?

      But what’s the cost of this missile compared to the the thing it’s hitting, in the hundreds of thousands

      Why the limit to Mach 2. Presumably if it was networked with equivalent of Aegis to have enough warning, it could intercept something much faster.

      Great, now we can waste more money killing other people.

      Money should be spend of new technologies for free energy abundance, so we can move on to free basic healthy food abundance and free unlimited clean drinking water. Those are the goals we should be using tax payers money on.

      So they are putting up defences for Wimbledon, but how will it help with global destabilisation?
