Can't believe the drone went down without us knowing imediately
where and when. With satelite observation how can that not be?
IMHO, we need to destroy it with whatever it takes,
to knock it out.
Too much future danger from that kind of stolen tech.

I can't believe HOW they did it. I read an article yesterday that detailed from an Iraqi general how they got to it. It's ridiculously stupidly simple.

HEADS SHOULD ROLL on who approved a NON SECURE link to control the things and why didn't they have a self destruct device (which probably wouldnt have helped here unless they blew it on the ground which is improbable.

All they did was jam the main contact frequency, then spoof the gps coordinates and terrain height. So when the drone loses signal it's auto programmed to return to base and land. Cept this time it landed in Iran.

$1 million down the effin tubes because of poor design..

Not the design that was poor...it was the security that was poor. Ain't that difficult to encrypt data on a signal

You'd be surprised. I'm close friends with someone that does work on robots used by the military and *reliable* encrypted data transmission is a large problem for them.

My guess is that is probably because of the quality of the signal, not the encrytion of the data.
