And the Chinese will have it tomorrow.

A very high-tech stealth drone apparently

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

*FACE PALM*

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

[mylife]

If they are so sensitive why don’t they have a destruct option?

Load that critical stuff with some thermite.

[NCDave]

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?

[stylin19a]

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?

[Kickass Conservative]

Looks like they should have hired the guy in the Toshiba Commercials to figure out what should have been included in the Drone.

Put WiFi in that TV!!!

[baddog 219]

This remote crap is just that.... Crap. To easy for the enemy to block, or high jack transmissions.

What the hay?? It isn't programmed to self-destruct? It is programmed to courteously turn itself over to our enemies? At least 15 years ago it required Clinton to give our secrets away to the Chinese. Now our technology does it all by itself. This is insane. Or is this just Obama further gutting US defense?

[Rembrandt]

I wonder two things:

1. I wonder if this was intentional and the bird in question is a spoof.

2. I wonder why drones are not equipped with a very small detonator which can be remotely activated to destroy the craft.

[Revolting cat!]

Next time, the designers (who might as well be hanging their hats in China or India performing outsourced jobs) oughta read FR for great ideas on how these machines should be programmed, as evidenced by the great ideers on this very thread. Stupid designers! They should of!

MI Ping

[txroadkill]

You've got to wonder, maybe we landed it on purpose just to see where they took it. That thing could still be sending information home.

I picture a bunch of Iranians standing a round it and one of them saying, "Hey Abdul, is that your watch ticking?"

[runninglips]

This is a political payoff to somebody. A nice way to betray our country. Thank you Barack Hussein Obama. I will personally water the flowers on your memorial, for this wonderful act of “diplomacy”.
