Sure. It's not just that they want to help musk
- Maybe they're planning for defeating the coming MAGA coup - which might actually make sense with the Cybertrucks.
- They're only buying two. Not much help.
  
  Oh why is it news then?
Another grift Musk pulled off: selling to the government.
Any enemy that is transitioning to a KlanTruck is not smart enough to win a war.
Spray them with water and they will rust and shut down. War over.
What, is USAF planning on bombing MAGA? Who the fuck are they expecting to shell out for Cybertrucks instead of sticking with Toyotas?
- Radar is extremely good at detecting things with large flat surfaces pointed towards it. The cybertruck has a MASSIVE radar cross section from above due to the flat panels its made of (source: trust me bro). It wouldn't be very useful as target practice for real vehicles, but I'd wager its absolutely fantastic for finding software errors early in the development/testing process of new airborne radar
- Most likely bombing China, which is quickly becoming the leader in electric vehicles.
Give the enemy the truck. It’ll short out when wet, lock them inside, and catch fire.
