What amazes me is how many Raptor 2 and 3s are sitting on the bottom the gulf and the Indian Ocean. Dissecting a Raptor 3 in particular would be a real cheat code for anyone wanting to know how to build something similar! Metallurgy alone would be huge!

If it’s really that important, some Russian sub will be down there scavenging parts. If it’s really that important, a US sub will be there first blowing up the debris.
