#13Looks like an X-47 to me. On a side note, somebody just got fired. https://www.rumblerum.com/northrop-grumman-x-47b-uav/
Look at the video it’s definitely not an X-47 it also has a cockpit bulge (the model is upside down for RCS testing).

#14I am guessing someone is going to lose their clearance. ;-)

#15Reminds me of the American's reaction to Soviets spies stealing shuttle plans to copy it with the Buran. Long story short, they made sure the soviets found "updated schematics" with hidden flaws and design defects. [0] Maybe someone is playing the same game here...

Then again the US Space Shuttle was super expensive for what it did.
Maybe having the Soviets copy the Space Shuttle was enough to lead to the collapse of their economy.

#16it's kind of funny how concerned people are about secrecy and data storage when people just pull out their phones and put that stuff out in the open. Reminds me of the military base that was exposed through strava heatmap data a few years ago. One really has to wonder how far OSINT can go. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42853072
It is not so unlikely that the person responsible will be going to prison... if this wasn't an intentional leak. People with access to classified information, even just present in places where classified things happen have security clearances and are very well informed about what they can and can't do and the consequences of such. Low grade accidental leaks happen all the time and often result in huge fines to employ…
Yeah, but as a certain former head of the FBI will tell you, they probably didn't have intent, so no need to investigate further.

#17An OPSEC violation has once again made a case for why using TikTok should be a punishable offense in the military,
It's not clear why TikTok is singled out here, this could just has easily been posted to Facebook or Instagram or one of the other myriad of social media platforms, or pushed automatically to someone's open photo album in the cloud.
If OPSEC is important, don't let people bring their personal camera phones (or smart glasses or camera enabled watch or whatever other personal surveillance people choose to carry) near whatever you're trying to protect.

#18Could this be an intentional leak? Put some super stealth looking object on a truck to mislead adversaries?

TikTok is singled out here because it was where it was shared. The author would likely also agree to other social media use being banned in the military.

#20That is clearly the Trimaxion drone ship from Flight of the Navigator.
