So there's this P8 that took off from Lakeland, FL, flew to Springfield, OH, made a couple laps around the place at a low altitude and then was headed back to Lakeland via the reverse route and then … poof … disappeared from the screen.

Stop me if I'm boring you.

As far as the "allow us to counter" comment, it sounds as if the DS / D5 move was anticipated and has already been parried.
