The Spin

Handing adversaries a real stealth canopy is a catastrophic failure that no amount of shrugging can excuse. Defense giants that keep legal entities, employees and supply lines inside a rival state have built an open window into the most sensitive hardware ever fielded. Nobody can even count what's already gone missing, and that alone should end the excuses.

Panic over a mishandled shipment ignores what actually moved: broken, unserviceable hardware with little exploitation value. Export controls were followed, allies and contractors are coordinating, and safeguards are being tightened so this doesn't repeat. Treating a logistics mistake as a stealth breach only distracts from the real work of keeping the program secure.
