This would actually be a good thing. We’ve been getting too used to fighting against technologically-inferior opponents, and getting dependent upon weapons systems that rely upon nobody being in a position to jam signal reception:

How is this possibly a good thing, sure you wrote that right or maybe I am missing your point?

It's a good thing to know in advance so you don't send your best assets in to be slaughtered because you underestimated your opponent. They tipped their hand too early. We've been exceptionally bold on the assumption that we were dealing with technically inferior opponents. This incident exposes that we have a more substantial opponent. Forewarned is forearmed.

I'd rather find out our deficiencies in a minor incident against Iran, rather than finding out how vulnerable we are in a major conflict against China.
