"Hello, Robert? Barry. Listen, I'm 'crashing' another high-tech drone. Yeah. This one'll land in Africa. You interested? No, you'll have to bring it to Zimbabwe yourself."
Must be those Chinese chips.
Crashed while landing? Big deal, could have been landing gear failure, a blown tire, any number of things. On the face of it, a very different situation from the drone in Iran, absurd to compare them.
From the article “ when U.S. officials say another unmanned aircraft malfunctioned and crashed in Iran “
Um ... no.
The drone SOMEHOW managed to find an adequate landing strip in Iran and touchdown there remarkably unscathed. Sounds like neither a malfunction nor a crash.
What’s up with these drones? Are the “Pilots” surfing too much porn on their computers and getting viruses?? LOL......Why doesn’t Barry cut out the middle men and just fly some drones over China and Russia so they can “Malfunction” and be given directly to our Commie enemies?
Great. Now we can compare the underside of this drone to the underside of the “captured” RQ-170. Oh wait, we’ve never seen the underside of the “captured” RQ-170. You know.. where all the goodies are. That’s because it’s a fake.
Two computer-controled Drones malfunction within days of each other.
Hmmmmmmmmm - - - - - ? Might be that a Master Hacker is operating in the unfriendly skies?
Question for ALL:
Shall we expect a BLIZZARD of crashes like this near the end of zer0s one and only term? Will this BLIZZARD complement like-minded “los-Alomos fires that make hard drives become invisible”? Will the BLIZZARD of drone crashs AND hard drives missing complement a Friday Night dumping of presidential pardons of EPIC proportions of leftists, anarchists, alinskyists, communists, obamunists... alone with the usual cadre of bad guys?
Second question: Can you say “Scorched Earth” exit?
pong
And zerohedge reporting that the Iranians have shut the Hormuz straights for “practice” for their military. And with the good off the shelf chinese parts in our military weapons we can look forward to a lot of stories of “crashes.”
I refuse to believe that the drones do not have a self-destruct feature for it’s software and critical hardware. Hope i am correct.
Mahé is an island of the Seychelles. “...[A]ccording to diplomatic cables released by whistleblower website WikiLeaks, drones based in the Seychelles have also been used for missions over Somalia, 1,300 kilometers away...
U.S. drones resumed flights out of the Seychelles this month (September) after operations were suspended in April, Lieutenant Commander James D Stockman, a spokesman for U.S. Africa Command, which oversees the Seychelles base, was quoted as saying.”
The perfect analogy for this entire Administration, A Crashing Drone.
Engine failure after takeoff. Brakes couldn’t handle the heavyweight emergency landing.
So I wonder did this one actually crash, or are we giving it to another enemy nation, like we did the last one? /half-rhetorical
Notes: Jennifer Rubin, Fox News, reported that Obama was given 3 choices (including Special Forces recovery or destruction of the previous drone. He REJECTED these 2 as well as an unnamed 3rd option, lest we start a war) http://www.conunderground.com/breaking-we-were-right-obama-gave-iran-the-drone/
