...unmanned aircraft...found today by a hiker...No one was injured, but the aircraft has sustained damage.

Now there's some brilliant writing! /S

The Shadow has an estimated value of $1.5 million.

This could have been made for between $2,000 - $5,000. And would have had better safeguards.

"Search efforts were aided by the National Radar Forensics Team at 1st Air Force's Air Force Rescue Coordination Center at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, which specializes in tracking lost and/or downed aircraft. The team was able to reconstruct the aircraft's flight profile from start to finish by leveraging data from multiple radar returns simultaneously determining course and approximate airspeed and altitude."

But the craft was found by a hiker. Sometimes less should be said about those helping in the search.

The aircraft ... can fly a distance of 125 kilometers.

It's a lot more than 125 kilometers from south Arizona to central Colorado.

Well I reckon since there is no “How To Scrap a Shadow RQ-7Bv2 unmanned aircraft” on youtube, might as well give it back to the g0vt in hopes of a reward.
