When we rolled into Baghdad, we did it with Open Source, we did it with Red Hat! - Major General Nicholas Justice

Are there FOSS military hardware that our newly found Linux army can use? I’m sure there’s open source handguns and rifles, but I’m talking like jets, anti-air guns, artillery, tanks, and helicopters.
Kinda need these things for a peer-to-peer conflict.
There’s some folks on twitter who have been documenting making working open-source Panzerfausts (AT), Fliegerfausts(AA), and Flash incendiary (AP) launchers. Kind of amusing because they’re actually legal in some US states as long as they’re registered.
Zagros rifles are pretty well documented as long-range rifles built from unused ZSU-23 (anti-air) barrels.
They haven’t already? Linux is at %14 in India right now. I would expect that sooner. https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/india
Guess not, not for the military at least
