Well, our jet becomes cheap next turn, whereas theirs stays expensive. Seeing as we have double the ammo capacity already, we can simply run them out of flares.

Assuming they get flares, I don't think depending on them being able to only carry as much flares as they do missiles is a smart idea...

But anyway, either way, I'm maintaining my vote for a Radar Jammer.

Well, maybe not running them out of flares, but our missiles will hit eventually.

At least our missiles aren't locking onto the sun, which was another early problem.

Next turn we should get an armored Capsule designed so we can shrug off their shrapnel warheads. We can shrink the number of cosmonauts inside from 5/6 to 2/3 to make up for the weight increase. (And if we really want to get fancy, we can add a computer controlled light machine gun turret for shooting at enemy people and satellites)

The OP mention we landed on the moon. What did we use for that?

It was retconned out because of certain complaints.

E: I don't see much voting going on, but I'll check for some kind of majority in a bit so we can move on.

There was a broad consensus for radio jamming equipment, IIRC.

Not Radio, Radar Jamming. A bit of an important difference there, so people, please watch for those critical typoes.

Radar utilizes radio waves. I know what they mean.

Yeah, it wasn't a typo. The Radio Jammer is a radio transmitter that jams radio frequencies. To stop their missiles/sat communicating so they can't fire at us. Mucking up their radar is an added extra.
