“We thought that, suddenly, soldiers who find themselves on Iraqi or Afghan soil no longer seem to be thousands of kilometers away from the US homeland; instead, they are in the earphones and on the computer screens of their commanders at a base somewhere on US territory or elsewhere in the world. We thought distance did not seem to matter as much anymore. We forgot that in the undersea environment, in the depths of the oceans, our soldiers are thousands of miles away even if they are just 600 meters under the sea surface; we found comms do not work as expected, or they don't work at all, when you are alone in a sub. And we found the underwaters are the new battlefield.”

“Distance is key, which is why the advent of military technologies like machine guns and tanks that increased the distance between combatants changed the way wars were conducted. Today’s Predators and Reapers represent the archetypical separation between military rivals, simultaneously embodying the logic behind virtuous war. But when we move from land and seas to the undersea, distance fades away. Only close encounters are possible down there, and it is in the close encounters where we have everything to lose. That is why we have given up on the depths of our oceans as far as non-terrestrial threats are concerned. For the time being, the depths belong to them.”

When commanded to do so, they enter our atmosphere, hit the assigned targets, and go back to their original position. No need to land, no need to refuel.

“The problem today is that deeply buried underwater facilities allow us to conceal equipment and command and control functions that are essential to the successful prosecution of a war. These facilities can protect a state's most critical governmental and military functions and contribute to victory during war, or at least make it more difficult for the adversary to destroy critical military capabilities. In those facilities we host LyAV and other AI systems. We also store there te-e's, and it is from those facilities te-e systems depart on mission, and return till next mission. The depth and hardness of the targets exceed the physical ability of any weapon to survive passing through houndred of meters of rock and rubble buried deep in the oceans.”

A. Those are wells that are no longer profitable for oil companies or have lost their interest as an asset to be exploited. RMP means refitted for military purposes.
