Upon further review I just realized Scorch Beasts were created VERY VERY soon after the bombs hit America. Meaning that Pre-War America will likely have access to Scorch Beasts to weaponize against Ukraine and infect their local water supply turning people into Scorched
This might actually be the cheapest method of America to win, inoculate themselves then send in a couple waves of Scorch Beasts which should be able to eat multiple AA missiles and give the country a zombie pandemic while America comfortably sits at the border shooting down drones.
So the American plan for a country they can totally militarily defeat in less than a month is to unleash an untested bioweapon that they just developed an inoculation for upon Ukraine and probably the rest of the neighboring region as well?
