1. If the drone really fell into Iranian (i.e., Russkie, Chicom) hands, then its stealth technology wasn't really that good after all.
2. Maybe the Chicoms will sell us their copies of the drones at a cheaper price than we pay for them now.
3. The U.S. ahould only have "self-destruct stealth technology" drones fly into enemy territory.
4. The U.S. could have put all kinds of "super-secret," "stealth," and "sensitive materials" stickers on a non-stealthy drone and flown it into enemy territory to be shot down, thus confusing the enemy on our capabilities.
5. In order to get the chance to investigate the drone, the Chicoms will trade all kinds of military know-how and kgs of special nuclear material to the Iranians only to discover, when they check out the drone's electronics, the parts are all "Made in China."
—The U.S. could have put all kinds of “super-secret...—
All of our good stuff is double-super-secret. The Iranians know that and would not be fooled. ;-)
