The AGM-158 JASSM (Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile) is a low detection standoff air-launched cruise missile developed by Lockheed Martin for the United States Armed Forces.[7] It is a large, stealthy long-range weapon with a 1,000-pound (450 kg) armor piercing warhead.

I think it’s a quirk of mastodon’s interpretation of activitypub protocols and lemmy’s interpretation of activitypub protocols
Oohhhh…good point. He’s on a Mastodon instance. So I guess that that’s basically the functional equivalent of a Twitter retweet on Mastodon.
Thanks.
