#3 Psyops, I think. Don't we have satellites that can overwatch without detection as described in this piece? I believe we do. But why bring that up when you can create stories about mysterious "stealth DRONES" (scary!).

#4 The agency turned to the new stealth aircraft "because they needed to see more about what was going on" than other surveillance platforms allowed

Yep, and with thermal-imaging and backscatter tech and all sorts of interesting gadjets that allow us to watch Dinnerjacket shower and where Daffy sleeps and how many Paleos can cram into ambulances!!!! We're coming for you... ;)

#5 We got stealth drones flyin' all over the world, peeking into everything. None of our enemies are safe, anywhere.

But don't tell nobody, okay? They're secret.

#10 Nearly as important as the spy squirrels; large enough to hold the tech, small enough to not be noticed, solves problems.

#11 i kinda thought so because satellite tech is burdened by night, shadows, clouds and angles. for those who are unaware, assault teams plan for error correction. one report said that a risk assessment on landing within the walls, found that a chopper created up-draft could cause an accident. hence the deployment of explosives for destroying technology that could be reverse-engineered. also, explosives had to be used on one heavily reinforced inner door. couldn't see that on satellite.
