Not disclosing this only really benefits them if it's a viable means of detection and they expect to use it in anger one day.
(viable in the sense that it's no use if it only works when a stealth plane blocks line of sight between ground detector and satellite)
By disclosing it, they reduced confidence in the military of multiple adversaries in the public eye and potentially caused them to spend to money to investigate/fix.
