What I find interesting about this is the quasi recognition that threatened and/or redundant airfields shouldn't necessarily be saved per se. Almost the contrary.

The ones which have already been turned into industrial estates and those thus threatened could quite reasonably be turned back into support facilities. Even if just for drones and missiles. With a rough operating strip masquerading as a truck parking area or access route.

Widened highways in the forest are still quite identifiable by satellite. But imagine having to go around every fenced off brown site, trying to figure out if its tractor parts or pointy things theyre producing. Or if its diesel or avgas they're storing.
