I’ve always been hopeful that we have “stuff” that nobody knows about that we are keeping secret until we are forced to fight a “real” military that has modern naval and air capability, not just a bunch of Middle Eastern goat humpers with IED’s and AK’s, or sitting duck 1970’s MIGs/F-14’s.
Yes.
I remember reading some magazines for the defense industry, not classified but for the people in the industry, ‘Defense Science Journal’ many years ago (my stepfather worked for Hughes on military stuff) and what was in an available magazine was 15 years ahead of what we had at the time. And if it’s on the cover of a magazine you know we have black and highly classified stuff that’s way beyond that.
