Stupid Palantir didn’t put a self-destruct charge on it? Did they learn NOTHING from the advanced drone Obama let Iran keep?
^ Anduril rather, not Palantir.
You’d think every such device operating in a hostile environment would have an effective self-destruct system.
But I wouldn’t blame the company. They’re just building to specifications. I’d blame whoever made the specs. I’m not an expert. Maybe such a system would add a couple of pounds to the device, and so was (unwisely) omitted.
Assuming the story is even true, that is.
Maybe it was “planted.”
The drone is made with off-the-shelf parts. The controller is tamper monitored for chip erase. What are they going to learn? Iran & China already know how to make these.
Or that spy plane GWB had to apologize for that landed in China?
I blame Francis Gary Powers.
