I'm confused. What does he mean "stole back"?

We don’t want it back. The one they stole.

OK thanks, I read it differently and wondered if we started buying Navy drones sourced from China or something!

It's not a Navy drone.

It was probably made in China.

Well, get it back and blow it up, then.

Nah, it’s a commercial drone developed 20 years ago. Let ‘em have it.

Why don’t these things have a self-destruct mechanism where if they don’t “phone home” and get an answer at some fixed time, they explode?

They could probably be hacked so they all blew up then!

Have them keep it, and make them pay for it with heavy import fines.

And, in your opinion, how much would the explosive and related hardware weigh?

There’s one implication of your post that I particularly like:

You stole the sucker. Keep it. You’ve opened the door to a new game, a$$hats! Just watch what we steal from your a$$ pockets. And when we do, STFU.

About an once of C-4 and an electronic fuse would do the job. The drone already has communication equipment. IOW, not much.

The goal of my suggestion is not to make it a munition, but rather to make sure all critical and/or sensitive hardware, software, and/or other components are automatically destroyed if the drone falls into someone else’s hands.

I was hoping that we would use its pre-installed thermonuclear self destruct feature long before now.
