Why does that title sound like it’s out of a 1940’s war reel?
Possibly because it’s presented how news used to be - a simple statement of fact without embellishment or click bait.
Would you rather:
You won’t BELIEVE how this weapon built by British boffins can yeet hundreds of Russian drones from the sky in seconds
I wager the word “radio” also helps. Early 1900s would have had plenty of radio broadcasts being “the thing” going on, so that word probably helps prime the interpretation, even if not used in quite the same way.
