Okay, anons, maybe someone smarter than me can make some sense here.

Q tells us a bunch of Corona and Keyhole satellites were taken out. Cue squeeee

Those platforms, if its what he referenced, are all 40-50 years old. Still squeee, but why are those relevant?

Those relics the only ones the C_A still had access to? Can't play with new toys, and just had their old ones broken? Halp.
