It's incredible really, it is so stealthy there's not a single record of it taking out an enemy target.

This is actually a thing - AV (and several other loitering munition manufacturers) experimented with what they were calling "daycare mode" (no, really. Fuck I hate them), where ground formations could fire a bunch of (ex: switchblades) off, then control would be taken over by CAS for transit my-ship-is-dragging-mines-style out of range of the base station to the target area for terminal control. It worked pretty well, might even be deployed now, but it was a surprisingly hard sell for the A-10 pilots whose job was to fly low & slow through an area picking up digital tethers while a bunch of jarheads aimlessly fired missiles into their flight path.

... but it was a surprisingly hard sell ...

I'm sure lots of people were surprised.
