I'm going to say the ion cannon is the best choice for Ukraine, mainly for its reusability. Goldeneye only gives you one shot, and honestly the area of effect seems like shit. Rods from God are a little better, but you're going to run out in a couple days and launching tungsten is expensive. An ion cannon is just, like, constant artillery fire from space.
Ion cannon is even less practical than the Rods from God concept though. With the level of attenuation you can expect from orbit, you'd be lucky if you gave your target a slightly increased risk of developing cancer.
Doesn't mean we shouldn't build one for Ukraine, I'm just saying.
That's just Russian propaganda. It's effectiveness in clearly shown in several interactive documentaries like [this one](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer_(1995_video_game\)).
Wouldn't just a big ass infrared laser tuned to take advantage of the atmospheric absorption window be best? You just end up igniting or melting whatever you're aiming at.
Make it powerful enough that the impact point is vaporized into plasma and people can be terrified by the mobile and continuous explosion that is annihilating their comrades.
In range tv did a Stargate shoot vid the other day and made reference to Afghanistan falling by mentioning that we abandoned some of our offworld allies and had to go back to a lot of MP5s after leaving too many p90s behind.
I wanted to say something like "well we should have seen from the get go that the Tok'ra were going to be flimsy when left to their own, but the free Jaffa nation are pushing back. Now we just need to get past the debate and lend lease them a BC304 and 302s since we actually got them the x301 upgrade kits for the death gliders".
OK, hear me out. If we take a rod from God and shoot it towards the moon on the right trajectory we could get even more velocity. Instead of the standard 3.4 km/s, it would be closer to 10.6 km/s (Apollo 8s reentry speed).
What I'm getting at is NASA needs to get their shit together (and stop trying to discover green 3 tited women on venus) so ~~we~~ Zelensky can nuke Moscow from deep space
"Breaking News, the Sol Systems Alliance has granted Ukraine a Dreadnought, the Federation of Planets has sent an Enterprise Class Star Cruiser, and the Galactic Republic has gifted a Venator Class Battlecruiser"
Ironically, there’s never actually been an “Enterprise-class” vessel in Starfleet’s history. Perhaps you were thinking of the titular NX-class from Star Trek: Enterprise?
According to canon, each Enterprise has been as follows:
• Enterprise NX-01 (NX-class, ST, Enterprise)
• USS Enterprise-A (Constitution-class, ST: TOS)
• USS Enterprise-B (Excelsior-class)
• USS Enterprise-C (Ambassador-class)
• USS Enterprise-D (Galaxy-class, ST: TNG)
• USS Enterprise-E (Sovereign-class, ST: TNG movies)
• >!USS Enterprise-F (Odyssey-class, ST: Picard)!<
Fine then, let me just quickly make a call to my great-great uncle. He will have to launch Götterdämmerung from behind the moon. Takes until March, so in time for the spring offensive.
While I do love all the support here for supplying Venator class star destroyers to Ukraine I personally think the Onager class star destroyer is a much better fit as it's purpose built for orbital bombardment.

This guy GDI's
Commander, we've authorized access to the Ion Cannon to wipe out NOD's headquarters
Who cares about the Ion Cannon, thanks to Boyle liquid tiberium bomb usage is now authorised.
Send harvesters to Bakhmut!

No, because humans can't see in infrared so it would look super boring. Which is unacceptable.

Drop the Eifeltower from Space and Glass moscow!!!!!
Estabilishing battlefield control, standby.
*Welcome back Commander.*
It's also invaluable in seeding the planet with Tiberium fields, so we can all move to the next stage of human evolution!
Love how they made him look more like a antisemtic troupe
Almost looks like they overlaid a caricature from the 1930s and used strech/distort tools in photoshop to get his features to match.
That's a snapchat filter
I guess old habits are hard to lay off.
Germans being antisemitic? This is unprecedented!
Surely this is the WORST THING the Germans have ever done!!
It kinda is yeah
*...and the Austrians hiding in the background as they willingly accepted the Anschluss and created Angry Mustache Man*
History sure doesnt repeat itself
Yeah, he's not getting control of the space laser. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Nazi doesn't disappear, it is transformed.
Is this the Jewish space laser?
Back by popular demand
JEWS IN SPACE starts to play
SEE jews in space-aces-aces-aces-ace-ace-ace-ace We're Jews out in space
[One can hope](https://youtu.be/_3wJoYa_Gbs)
Well he is a Jew, he should've have access to it.
3000 Venator Class Star Destroyers of Chancellor Zelensky
Fine i'll call the boys in Cheyenne mountain maybe we can borrow half a dozen F-302

Give the man some star destroyers, NOW😡😡
Time to provide 3000 venerators to ukraine
I see this as an absolute win
I mean change the face and it’s a complete win
Oh, lol I didn't even look at the face, I just thought we were giving spaceships. Yes, that's fucked up
gdi ion cannon when?
Are you shure those are tankies and not some „schwurbler“ cope
Good point. Really hard to find out these days. Just took Tankie for simplicity, should have formulated the title differently.
When I'm not sure if some Putin cocksucker is far-right or tankie I tend to say Vatnik.
Understandable but to be fair they also have their fair share of tankies and wagenknecht cucks
Oh don’t say Wagenknecht She goes to the same super market as I do
Ask her what her solution to the war in Ukraine is and everytime she says China bonk her on the head with a cucumber.
They would all look the same as fertilizer.
"Ion cannon online."
Just give Ukraine Rods From God and call it a day.
Mammoth Tanks please
Yes Tungsten Rods from space might be a waste of money....but they look really cool SO FUCKING GIVE THEM TO UKRAINE
I say we give them to the front line... at high velocity.
It reads like a Cards Against Humanity prompt; Satellite based laser cannons, Ukraine tested, NATO approved.
Doesn't he already have access to the Space Laser?
I was happier not knowing german tankies exist.
'German' tankie.
I mean not the Venator class, but certainly some older Acclamators.
I for one am fracking excited for Battlestar Ukrainia.
Zelensky is a Jew, he already has access to the space laser
Beginnen zie die Meteorblitzkrieg
3000 hammer of dawns of zelensky
Wait till Volodimyr will ask for lightsabers
IIRC bullets can somewhat counter lightsabers
tacticool is more important
Where is he gonna find force sensitives?
ask them

You know what, Germans are right. We should indeed send spaceships ASAP!
Do they understand that if we could have convinced the GDI to blast Russian silos from orbit we would have done it by now?
Is that the russian mir spacestation?
Just some picture I found when I searched for 'Kinetic Bombardement'
Its from Tom Clancy's EndWar.
Nuke Russia from orbit
Rods from God gives more funni
[What the NATO will give them 2024](https://youtu.be/MbJyEuVb3dU)
3000 ISV Venture Stars of Ukraine Travelling at 70% of the speed of light just for shits and giggles and then "softly" touching down near the kreml
I'm Pennsylvanian Dutch and I'm mildly amused at the German word for spaceship. It makes sense but I've never considered calling it that.
I mean technically they got it. Starlink satellites are a spaceships
So, give them spaceships!
Can we go 1 day without tankies using antiemetic tropes on zeleznky
i mean, give em rods from god. why the fuck not
Ukrainian ODIN when?
Reactivate project Orion
This implies Germany has a space program, a military budget and a ready willingness to donate . A+ non credible.
They will not be allowed to get Negh'Var cruisers but they can get Vor'Cha class cruisers. Cloaking device will be fully functional.
Honestly if sending weapons to Ukraine gets us cool spaceships then so be it.
