“is presumed to be intact since it is programmed to fly level and find a place to land, rather than crashing.”

Perhaps it would’ve been more prudent to program it to self-destruct in the event of lost communications.

If they are so sensitive why don’t they have a destruct option?
Load that critical stuff with some thermite.

since it is programmed to fly level and find a place to land, rather than crashing. It would be much more efficient if it were programmed to fly directly to Beijing or Moscow.
I'm sure that someone, somewhere thought this was a good idea. But I'm thinking that once these things are actually deployed to parts of the world where there are bad guys it might, just maybe, be a good idea to have some way to oh....maybe...BLOW THE DAMNED THING UP!

and/or Russians....
Does it mean the Iranians have the electronic means to ‘hijack’ the plane and land it?

So they can`t program it to use it`s path thus far to reverse course in case of signal loss??? Or maybe program it to return to coordinates in that event?? I guess they could auto-destruct in some cases...Somebody has some splainin` to do..and some changes to make.
total fail...

Question -
here we have a machine that can drop precision bomb on a target while being operated by someone on the other side of the world - why is there no ‘destruct’ button?????
Maybe just another “gift’ to out enemies from the Traitor in Chief?

the aircraft likely "wandered" into Iranian air space after losing contact with its handlers
that's really stealthy...
something just doesn't seem quite right about this...

Ike, Reagan, even JFK would’ve demanded it back. Remember those days?

My thoughts, too.
