the thing to remember is that journalists are completely fucking retarded and terrible at their jobs. even though they are reporting on military shit for a military-focused media outlet doesn't mean they know the first goddamn thing about anything. they then get invited to "Military Deth Metal Expo 2025" take a shitload of pictures of a techdemo/prototype/preproduction model and label it as if it is the actual in-service one.
then, when other lazy retarded journalists have a story about that item, they dig through the folder of images they have license to and pull those out rather than the actual thing they are reporting on because they are also retarded and don't know the difference.
