Good thing China wouldn’t use it to evaluate the radar cross section or EW signature of the F-22 or that would have been hubristic of the Americans, eh?

There’s basically zero chance the F-22 wasn’t flying with lunenburg lenses installed. And China has had a decade plus of F-22 deployments to the Pacific to go look at them or try to collect on the F-22s radar from fancier and heavier Chinese systems.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
