The government let us know whatever they want it! It doesn't matter how looks like or what desing or even how can the people can caller. if one is out...means...a new model or design is over the table or readsy to use in the next war may be? At least we have a real publication "popsci"...low deep information articles...well.....but....look's more serious than others....no fantasies...more scientific.....will see what the people involved in secrecy doing regarding this publication....
Thank you POPSCI people!....... was expected and now we have it!!
