It‘s not a secret that it will be used for military resupply missions.
Reuters reported on September 28, 2024, that according to US government data, the United States imported approximately 1 million tons of waste cooking oil (commonly known as "gutter oil") in the first half of this year, of which approximately 60% came from China.
China's gutter oil industry reduced to zero overnight. Complete collapse. No chance of survival.
This is what annihilation looks like.

Like the US soybeans export to China? China purchased of US soybeans to date is: ZERO. MAGA farmers are panicking.
Here's the problem: for many precision magnetic applications you need custom shaped magnets. You can get them from turbines and EVs but they'll be of the wrong shape/size/orientation. Heating them over the Curie temperature removes the magnetization. Some of the magnetic field shapes are quite tricky and is done with specialized fields. Remember these have to be nm precise for wafer patterning, a poorly aligned field that causes a 1 um shift or 0.5 degree tilt is unacceptable.
China mostly supplies the finished rare earth magnets.
The Starship would be a big fat target, hard for the HQ-29 to miss.
That's gonna be the highest-risk, least cost-effective military resupply missions ever. Resupply via submarines is much safer.

This is an example how Europeans think their shit don't stink and smells like roses. Basically you have Italians here who think whatever they say without even thinking even though it defies logic is as good as gold. The West wants everyone to think also that whatever of theirs is more expensive means it's better quality. Or how about when it's about food, if some dish that originated from their poor people it carries all the romanticism of their culture and has to be the best in the world. But if it was from poor people from any other part of the world, it has to be close to eating garbage. Don't Ferraris have a reputation of breaking down a lot but of course that says nothing about their quality.
