Agreed. The advantage of UDMH and MMH is either is hypergolic in the presence of nitrogen tetroxide or nitric acid. This technology was known and commonly used since the 1960s.

Besides rocket fuel, the F-16 and space shuttle, for example, use MMH for their APUs.

Seems the media reporting this is decades behind the technological reality.

Well, at least rocket man is not using Dioxygen Difluoride. That would really give him some range.
