All the talking heads are saying if a drone was ever shot down we should engage Russian drones or aircraft that come near the drone. They say nothing like this has ever happened before.
THEY LIE. One of these bad boys was shot down in the Persian Gulf by the Iranians in Jun of 2019.
Its a very large, very expensive Global Hawk.
President Trump didn't want a war with Iran.
Our force posture wouldn't support it.
The American people aren't behind it.
Much like now.

Passive defense.
Or just put a few pounds of C4 inside it and detonate when threatened.
