Maybe true, but I wasnt answering that question, I was answering a question about a super computer decrypting messages.
And maybe the USA realise what is going on, after all it isnt that hard to imagine is it, so maybe their response whatever it was, was designed so as to not give too much away if anything.
Lets face it, huge great unarmed slow moving object shot down by US fighter jet using whatever, not a very hard thing to do, and that isnt going to tell them anything they didnt already know.
