"The 'Q' in 'QRA' does not stand for 'Quiet'!"
Just give it time and maybe it will. I'm sure there will soon be a demand for an analysis of how many carbon credits were used by the interceptors and questions of who will plant the trees for each mission to compensate.

Years ago there were charted VFR low level military training routes in the U.S. that had the designation 'Oil Burner'. The Arab oil embargo in 1973 came along and the media activists (embedded as journalists) highlighted these OB routes as an example of environmental and economic insensitivity by the mean uncaring Pentagon war machine.

To assuage the desires of these 'whistleblowers' the training routes were renamed Olive Branch Routes. Nobody could oppose peace, right?
