    TBH it’s really weird that they announce this kind of stuff so publicly in first place. I’d expect this to be a military secret, not a public show. 🤷‍♂️

      This typically needs congressional approval, or at least notification. Almost impossible to keep this secret and attempting to do so would just look really bad to the public.
