Question

One of this general kind of device with rockets attached was used to destroy an orbiting satellite launched by Otto, preventing the upload of Project Aries. Several of these devices were successfully used as a shield in Russia to absorb the brunt of an exploding nuclear submarine commandeered by Cipher, which was hit by its own heat-seeking missile. Modified kinds of these devices were dropped from a plane in the Caucasus Mountains to attack Mose Jakande’s convoy and recover Ramsey, the creator of the God’s Eye hacking device.
