Is there ever a point where we reveal too much about the strategy

and weapons we share with Ukraine? On CBS This Morning, the developer discussed the switchblade drone and its capabilities. He tells everything except where the factory is that makes them. They are being sent to Ukraine and he emphasizes some of its capabilites are new. Just wondering.
