Hey! I got an idea.... Let’s let everybody know what we’re working on. What could go wrong? I mean, at least it’ll give the ChiComs something to aspire to.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Just some things about national security the public doesn’t need to know about IMO. Like the F-117 Nighthawk stealth attack aircraft....nobody knew squat about that thing until Bush broke it out and thumped iraq with it. And it began development in the 1970s IIRC.
Don’t kid yourself, they have probably been working on the very same systems.
