Why focus on Russia? So you don't look at Ukraine. Where the real military industrial complex has co-opted Adam Schiff. He's a war hawk if you look at his voting record.
Igor Pasternak
GIVEN MILLIONS BY DARPA. In the years after September 11th, the Department of Defense spent more than a billion dollars on at least eight airship programs, with an eye toward surveillance, as well as haulers that could move troops and supplies to remote parts of the globe. COSH impressed the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and in 2005 it gave Pasternak three million dollars to develop the idea. In 2010, it added fifty million dollars so that he could build the Dragon Dream.

Pasternak considered to have birth the new blimp industry hotly being developed to solve cargo needs with airships.

Purchased CASTLE Air Force base in San Francisco. Castle Air Force Base, about two hours south of San Francisco, had recently been scheduled to close, and the hangars that had once housed B-52 bombers were available for lease. Pasternak set up shop there, with Marina, their father, and a few friends from Lviv. The first blimp they built, the Aeros 50, was a seventy-eight-foot one-seater, which they sold to an Atlanta company to use for advertising during the 1996 Paralympic Games.
