That would make sense, but it also seems like something you would want to keep on the low-down.

I thought as first it might have had something to do with the report yesterday from Estonia's intelligence service suggesting that NATO countries implement war time economic measures to match Russia. Apparently they have reason to believe Russia will be attacking the Baltics. Sweden also added "preparing for war" to their school curriculum the other day after the government told the public to be prepared. To be fair, it was also mentioned that this is the 3rd time that Sweden has done this since the end of WW2. While not being an aggressive country, they are known for being really well prepared for conflict.

The Mach 8 missile thing makes sense though. I didn't hear about that and it would be a major concern.
