Hpmeline is far ahead of us in aerospace tech.
See p.14 where Special Operations has conveyors built into "armored TL9 Icarus sub-orbital VTOL gunships". One of these can deliver up to 24 fully equipped Spec Ops division soldiers and all their gear anywhere on Earth(s) within 4 hours. That probably includes fuelling and mission planning.
Just "armored" and "VTOL gunship" is about 2 steps beyond us. Adding the "sub-orbital" is a lot farther than that.
