The poker game continues in the latest satillite shootdown

I guess it all comes down to what do you want to show your enemy - the possible secrets of your spy satillites? Or the fact that our Aegis SM Block 3 can leave the atmosphere no problem? Or the fact that this SM Block 3 can kill your sat too with only a minor software mod?

Seems the idea of not letting an enemy getting it's hands on our spy sat capability is a more important hand to play than to let the world know what the true capability of the SM Block 3 is.

Let the poker game continue. The US still has all the chips, though its potential rivals just picked up a few.
