There has been a ton of press about a Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) demonstrator of some type having already been designed and flown even as the program is still supposedly in its conceptual stages. While this sounds exciting, and it is, I think there may be a chasm between reality and what is being circulated even days after the news initially hit.

Yea, since it's pretty safe from Chinese and Russian troll bots, and others. That's why I can mention that super-secret deal to sell tons of naval mines to the Taiwanese to defend their independent, island nation against the Chi-coms. They'll never think to look here, so its very unlikely that they will find out about it. |
