this isn't particularly crazy technology that no one will be able to manufacture. Once you field it everyone else will copy it. From a benefit perspective you benefit from fielding it, but also controlling the patent in other countries where you can license/sell it to orgs you approve. Enemy countries will always violate your patents and make their own, so might as well extract maximum benefit while you can.
