Him and I were on twin 40mm Anti Aircraft guns, they were effective against their tanks due to the armour being only 29mm thick, and sloped at an 85 degree angle. The teammate was the first to hear the whirring of the Type-3 Makeshift attack choppers. Their trashcan bombs blew open the power box to the automatic defences, and I realized the third Type-3 was moving slower than the others. My eyes widen to the size of pies as I saw it carrying and unstable dumpster with an unbelievable amount of gunpowder. The outside of the dumpster was laced with unlit dynamite.

One of the factors that Lockheed Martin sales are driven by is the downward pressure from the effects of U.S. Government budget reductions; primarily in its services businesses (Lockheed Annual Report, 2015). U.S. defense spends have fallen and as a result, the…
