Military.com and FoxNews are two of several sites repeating articles that say the US Air Force has acknowledged a new UAV “shrouded in secrecy.”

Grainy photos show what appears to be a flying-wing aircraft, which was reportedly initially photographed flying over Afghanistan in 2007.

If nothing else, it is worth remembering that the US military is in a constant effort to field the best systems and weaponry.  Because such systems are often developed and employed in secrecy, sometimes that’s an easy thing to forget.
