What is the reasoning for telling the public about an aircraft like the f-22 for example.source:(commons.wikimedia.org) Isn't the point of keeping an aircraft top secret so other countries won't know about this new technology this company came up with? Revealing this kind of technology to the public would allow other countries to know about it and design something better. The f-22 was released to the public in 2005, which gave China a good amount of time to try to design something better called the J-20.(better in certain areas)source:(www.globalsecurity.org)
