Alex’s Quotes

“Десанты высаживать тоже нет смысла: достаточно распылить над мятежной страной десантный маскон, и население воочию увидит парашютистов, морскую пехоту и танки. Реальный танк стоит почти миллион, а иллюзорный обходится в сотую долю цента на зрителя; это так называемая зрительская танкоединица. Броненосец обходится в четверть цента. Весь арсенал Соединенных Штатов уместился бы на грузовике. Танконы, кадавроны, бомбоны – твердые, жидкие, газообразные. Говорят, существуют целые нашествия марсиан – в виде обыкновенного порошка.”
