There are things about to be sent to space and those things will be tasked with waiting for orders to kill/intercept.
Star Wars minus the Death Star shite is getting real.
Think of a missile junk yard dog just sitting up in space ready to bite.

if they're officially acknowledging it now, that means it's been in service for ~20 years or so

From a reconnaissance standpoint, what gap is this filling our space eyes do not already cover?
Speed has never been the issue, it was always heat mitigation. The material this is made out of is probably an engineering marvel.

There are tech and techniques for hiding things from satellites. It’s much harder to plan around time windows and locations when the reconnaissance can happen at any time and place.

When we finally see it, it will be because they’ve been using it for over a decade and are moving on to something else.

Or because we want another $100 billion in the defense budget to operate them publicly so we can fund the next generation of aircraft.

Ok, valid point. It can buzz in quickly and be gone before they realize.
