That’s because Americas best superpower is secrecy. While these countries immediately release all information on any achievement or new equipment to try and scare others we do the opposite. We know we carry a big stick. We just don’t want the word to know what we have until it hits them right in the face. Russia shows off planes it can’t even produce yet and we pretend only show equipment generations behind. We play chess while others play checkers

Perfectly clear perimeters, no unwanted vegetation, clear paint on bunker doors, no randomly left items or vehicles, it looked pretty much steril. So, at least from high up it looks like they take care of that segment. But that says nothing about the tech inside, so .
