Psyop fakery: doctored videos were released through official channels, trying to fool other countries we saw something unusual. But why? Who benefits from that? What does it show to others, that our own military is unaware of experimental technology? I'm not saying that any of these possibilities are true, or even likely. But I can think of a few possibilities. 1. Certainly, there may be information that can be gleaned from these videos regarding the capabilities of our own aircraft. And certainly, foreign powers are eager to figure out the exact capabilities of each others' aircraft and other weapons. Suppose the USAF has doctored these videos in such a way that give a slightly skewed impression of the F/A-18's capabilities. Either to have folks under- or over-estimate them. While the Hornets and Super Hornets have been around for decades, they have been continually upgraded, and even leading our foes to under- or over-estimate them by a few percent either way could be meaningful. Could mean the difference in a dogfight, missile attack, whatever. 2. Seems like a good way to for somebody to convince somebody that somebody out there has a highly advanced drone that seems to be several generations ahead of what's currently buzzing around the skies in the world's conflict zones. Heck, maybe the USAF is trying to scare the US government into providing more money to combat real or theoretical advanced drones like these. Again, I'm not espousing any of these possibilities. Just thinking of possible answers to the "who would benefit if this is a US misinformation campaign?" question.
