Jesus, even more than Iraq and Afghanistan. Intel, linguists, ISR, maintainence for weapons systems, food service, construction, sanitation, etc etc.

As for new weapons...well everything. Anti tank, artillery, drones, anti air, etc etc it would be more than in WWII.

If it's between NATO and the Russians, probably not much initially. But a wise long term investor would by stock in firms specializing in squirrel meat and human-skin based fashion accessories.

So with Russia going all Cold War 2: Imperial Boogaloo on everyone I was wondering if, considering the advances in computing power in particular in the 21st century, would it be more feasible nowadays to have a working anti-ICBM system than it was in the 80's or is it still a pipe dream?

Within the realm of possibility for a rogue state popping off one or two at someone. How far within the realm depends on which system you're talking about/who you believe/etc.

Against a full on hundreds of simultaneous missiles coming from multiple directions Cold War style strike? Yeah, pipe dream.

Maybe the passengers didn't want boom-boom so the pilots are running up the meter before dumping them off.

My favorite theory is that it was a hijacking where the hijacker tried to incapacitate the passengers by loving with the cabin pressure, hosed it up and they all passed out while the plane ran out of gas and crashed.

I wonder about the slow leak of oxygen. I know in a sudden decompression oxygen masks drop down and the pilots can quickly descend to a safe altitude, assuming the plane wasn't depressurized by a bomb blast or whatever. But can a 777 really not detect a slow leak of oxygen? I know it happened Payne Stewart, the plane slowly lost oxygen, they passed out, and flew on autopilot, but does a big airliner not have a system to detect this?

Also this ignores the (possibility) that it made a bunch of crazy turns.

I also just realized if this happened after the plane was hijacked the hijackers probably wouldn't know what the oxygen alarm meant or how to handle it, if there was one.

I've been under the impression that there's a mechanical system that drops the masks automatically below a certain pressure. Do the pilots control it?
