So much cryptography to get into these things and then the Intel is sent out.
Just nothing to see.

Except they get an opportunity to study electronics package to determine component vendors, IC chip mfgrs, electronic specs, signal analysis, black box architectural testing, determining further command/control/data vulnerabilities, and most importantly the prestige of co-opting premiere American military technology and humiliating us with showcasing that spoil of war.

Back eons ago, when I was a CTT in the Navy, I was given a pre-mission briefing of “you’ve got 1 week to figure out how to record video, RF, SpecAn shots, and anything else you see on a laptop, and magtape.”. We then packed up everything and went on Ft. Huachuca for TAD. Worked with several companies on different iterations of UAVs. Pretty cool stuff.

Back then, everything (command and control, video down link, etc.) was sent in the clear, unencrypted. My report was if I can see what you’re seeing, I can fihire out where you are and blow you out of the sky.
