Fascinating. A drone that's been on public display for years, even wiki has a page detailing its history, dimensions, engines, operation speed and whatnots, all of a sudden is this leaked secret breaking news.

I love how they say they haven't confirmed any of the details about China's drone, and then proceed to talk about it's capabilities. LOL.

D-21 is a completely different animal. Function dictates forms in aerospace vehicle design. D-21 was a Mach 3.3+ platform that was ramjet powered and air launched from a M-21 Blackbird rocket or B-52. WZ-8 is rocket-powered and air-launched from an H-6. D-21s were assigned one-off penetration missions, WZ-8 is part of a much bigger reconnaissance/strike complex the PRC is constructing to find and target our carrier strike/battle groups (by relaying targeting data to their ASBM/anti-ship cruise/ASM forces. The war is coming and most of you folks have decided to ignore the writing on the wall…

Unit leadership from first line supervisors to commanders are responsible to enforce “need to know” and “2 person concepts” in handling classified and critical information. Trust but verify is a golden rule

@00:06 - the air force unit he was assigned to was stripped of it's duties? This is big because it means someone was relieved of their command. Someone was demoted. Heads rolled. At this point the defendant would be foolish to walk on base even if he got off. This almost ensues his conviction.

It's quite an upgrade from the balloon they sent last time

[aaronhazelwood]

The fact that it only took one guy to screw over an entire unit and they’re all suffering for it because of him. I served in the usmc and I can only say I don’t envy them.

[sidakong]

So youre saying we have hypersonic spy drones but we choose to send a balloon instead???

[dzcav]

The US classification system is a disaster. Probably 2/3 of classified documents shouldn't be classified, and 2/3 of people who are accessing those documents shouldn't be accessing them. Both situations need to change.

China has a "supersonic spy drone."
USA: Our spies told us that 😎

When I was applying for a job in Weapon Defense as a Mechanical Engineer the FIRST THING they were so set on was the intensity of security. This dudes in trouble trouble.

[marys]

Hes a little kid, look at him. How in the hell did he get this info? He looks like he's still in Jr high....UNBELIEVABLE !!

[danieldipalma]

It flies so fast when it takes pictures they all come out blurry!

[mission]

Maybe one of these days the military will actually learn and not let 1+ million people have access to classified documents! Good grief 🤦

*"Primarily" for Surveillance Purposes???* 😮

[Bridge]

Nothing surprises me anymore, this whole world is going crazy!!!

[drakedraven]

😆😂🤣 It's hilarious how U.S. criticize China for spying yet they've got ahold pictures of China's advance technology. Bunch of contradicting hypocrites.

Looks like the record holder paper airplane 😂

[viewfromthehighchair]

The system that should be in place is, nothing is printed without an official request at which point, another officer is randomly assigned to confer and confirm with the requesting officer to ensure the printing (or copying) is necessary. The "random" part is necessary to ensure pairs of officers aren't working together. Glad I could help?

Didn’t we already deal with this super fast, super high recon problem? The sr71 was retired for a reason.
