I was listening to a defense analyst on the way home last night. One of the things he mentioned is that the drones used in that area are not the most advanced, so that it was considered an acceptable risk to lose one or two. As this guy said, it was not a matter of if but when a drone was lost. O

Seriously? They cheaped out on self-destruct without considering the cost of defending against the drones if the tech fell into empty hands? Just how stupid are they? On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 4:49 AM, Scott Raley wrote: > > No not all have self destruct. Some just have code to wipe the storage >

Lets also not forget that the drone that crashed isn't quite state of the art. The CIA and Pentagon know that it was a matter of when not if a drone on the Afghan Iran border would malfunction. Besides the pictures shown by the Iranians suggest a mockup rather than the actual drone. What most like
