I think strong enough broadband noise could be transmitted to locally blanket all frequencies ,so hopping wouldn’t matter.If the desired signal is buried in enough noise it won’t be recoverable.Not a new idea.
Iranians don’t have that capability.
The UAV glitched and went into a hold pattern (as it is programmed to do while waiting for the link to re-establish).
Eventually it ran out of fuel. It kept trimming during its flight and flat-landed.
Nothing complicated about it.
Lost link and other issues happen, especially with new technology.
The Iranians are third world and don’t have a jamming capability to do anything, and they certainly don’t have the reverse engineering capability to do anything with the wreckage.
The software is protected and any attempt to hack the software would result in all the threads coming undone. . .resulting in useless and random code, no help to anyone.
