Suppose there was a way for US cyber ops to control the image and info displayed to Iran’s air defense system. If “we” wanted a full blown war we would display a US manned aircraft outside Iran as an unmanned drone inside Iran. But displaying a drone outside Iran as a drone inside Iran would cause it to be attacked, and the US would have some options.
You suspect some of the newer UFO sightings are a ‘vaporware’ weapon? You might be right. And yeah, it would give us more options.
