...that's what's being said here: nothing gets out. Cyber doesn't equal direct action regarding declassification or piecing together bits of unclass doesn't lead to the book.

For every 1 million cybers, three books are written lol

Every manned operation gets a book mention, eventually.

1N4X1 technical training is classified for most portions, but yeah not an NDA.

Great clarification!

Glad to see this brought up! My entire Air Force experience is blocked to comment on besides basic training...Tech school and forward is NDA'd, read in, etc

You don't really get to sneak a glimpse of operations and write a book like the SEALs seem get to (jk!)

Methane eliminated at the source by feeding livestock seaweed. I heard about this 20 years ago but it's been crickets since...

Methane is 8x worse than co2, and can be spotted from space better and better with each new environmental satellite.

"the call is coming from within the house in...ethiopia?"

Great writeup, "what button do I press to hack" vibes. Script kiddie with a cyber cannon.

Future is now, totally wild.

nosmokewhereiam — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 13:37:17 +0000

What if the drones didn't loiter in the air for 4 hours, but rather "hopped", resting on the ground and powering down.

Powered optical spools or really cool batteries or power line recharging as other wildcard guesses.

...or a ton of drones redeployed at intervals.

That's all the guesses, y'all are going to have to scrounge for more. I'm going with the "hopping or bounding" guess.

"Is this a deepfake video call" is a major plot point in a pretty big movie currently in theaters, so I think this is getting into the broader zeitgeist."

Which movie is discussed?

Resulted in claude naming the Mission Impossible as a possibility.
