There’s no stealth technology in that UAV and the electronics are off the shelf - that’s my point - this is not a big deal. We lost an asset that was designed to be expendable and dumped into the lap of the enemy.

Exactly, the entire purpose to even having a UAV is to have a platform that can go into high-risk-of-being-shot-down areas.

With that in mind, you would only put technology on board that the enemy can’t use or obtain in other ways.
