I’m sure whatever the AF are intending to ‘test’ will work just fine on the few CTs that might still be operational six months hence, prior testing or not. We’re talking about a car that can be stopped in its tracks by light snowfall or being left outside in mild rain. I’m no expert, but somehow I don’t think a quick burst of 30 mm PGU-14/B armor-piercing incendiary rounds or a Hellfire missile will experience any issues.
Of course realistically this serves no purpose other than transferring some money from the DOD to Musk. But we can try to make up some slightly less depressing explanation…
