Let me break this down. Aeros got $50 MIL from the U.S. to think about developing AIR CARGO blimps, then Ukraine paid Aeros with our money to buy the blimps to TRANSPORT weapons to Ukraine, and Aeros then got more money to help them with surveillance. Where are the blimps? Have you seen any blimps?

Battle blimps? Confederates are shaking in their boots in the East. Although there is an austerity opportunities. They may ditch SAMs for slings from now on.
Battle Bots. ..That’s a cool TV show.
This has been my suspicion for quite a while.
As I’ve said, 80+% of the people in Wash DC are there to mimic the Clinton model of multimillion dollar grift. On both sides, but the Dems literally have consultants on the task.
Those 80+% were slack jawed at the monies the Clintons were able to snake in their careers, but the amounts of money sloshing around in the wake of the USSR breakup kicked things up at least two orders of magnitude.
Nobody could figure out how to extract the slosh from the USSR, Trump did some, legitimately, by selling high end NYC condos.
But nobody has ever grifted taxpayer-supplied aid like the Dems.
1: Develop a cause (Ukraine, Haiti)
2: Advocate for taxpayer funded relief
3: Develop the contacts on the receiving end
4: Collect.
Hmmm...
Suddenly the barely veiled threat made by Biden to Senator Lindsey Graham makes a lot more sense.
If the report is true and has legs ... better check the popcorn supply.
I do think the Rats are worse, but it seems obvious to me that the corruption runs deep on both sides of the aisle. I don’t care which party they are in, how else does one become a multi-millionaire while serving in Congress, having almost nothing when they get there?
Nothing steams me more than being lectured by these low-life, thieving creeps. I believe they sell us out every day the sun rises to enrich themselves.
The aeorstat, or blimp used for electronic surveillance was first used by Israel to surveille its border with Egypt in the Sinai. Later on, in the nineteen nineties the same sort of blimp was being used along the US border with Mexico (and seemingly run out of nearby Fort Huachuca, signals center of the US Army). Where are the blimps today? God only knows. Perhaps their time has come and gone.
