I think this is a Raytheon reference because they used to be in the laundry business as well as the brrrrt business

Westinghouse, too.

They made turbines and generating equipment, then made blenders and assorted kitchen and housewares, then they made nukes, and bought CBS.

And lest we forget general electric (they bought NBC) https://www.geaerospace.com/military-defense/engines

It’s a reference to GE, who made the gun

Can I get the GAU-8 as an add-on for my dryer? The heat from the barrels helps to get the wrinkles out

That makes way more sense, except the gun is the one part not visible in the meme. Like yes, most of the plane is the gun, but they cropped the only visible part.

But that's an A-10, developed by Fairchild Republic which was always an aviation company.

It could be a “remember what you’re fighting for” meme and it’s russians trying to complete a kitchen set

There's an Eastern Bloc variant of it, with the FÉG AKM-63 assault rifle and FÉG C-24 gas furnace.
