Black Horizon: Mystery aircraft photographed over Texas - by Steve Douglass
Question: How do you make your adversary take a moment of pause and rethink his military doctrine based on Cold War technology?
Answer: You give him a glimpse, a hint that we haven't just been sitting
on our hands all these years after the fall of the Soviet Union.
The point I'm trying to make - is to the object is to make your adversary lose sleep at night wondering what super weapons the USA has in their arsenal that are far advanced than their own.
You don't trot the show pony out for all the world to see - you don't tip your entire hand because that smacks of propaganda.
Remember when world laughed at Iran's supposed stealth fighter?
But like the shark in Jaws, it was scarier when you couldn't see it -
when you just caught a glimpse of a fin slicing through the water.
I rather like the thought of current leaders of Al-Qaeda tossing and
turning at night, listening for the sound of stealth helicopters
approaching, helicopters they now know exist.

The best weapon IS the one you never have to use.
