Gosh if I wanted to jackpot an enemy with a bait car, gosh gosh. Dry payload gosh gosh. Gosh the moment the MOIS lights it up they reveal the location of their skunk works gosh gosh. Gosh the moment they hook it up we access intel that even our deepest sleepers in the MOIS and IRGC could never access gosh gosh.
Please continue reading headlines and typing with elbows...

I recall years ago the Islamic Republic taking command of one of our aerial drones and flying it to Iran. The US seems to deploy technology before it is ready for prime time.

Well, for no reason the media makes it sound as if there’s a difference between Houthis (Ansar Allah) and the Yemen government. There is not.

I’m not sure this is the hugh and series thing people are knee-jerk reacting to.
The “advanced American unmanned submarine” thing is a bit misleading- the REMUS 600 platform is available to commercial users. It’s a 12.5 inch diameter underwater drone.
If this thing was operating clandestinely or surveilling the Houthis, I’m guessing we wouldn’t have been using the neon-yellow version with the manufacturer’s logos prominently displayed. (And a quick image search shows that yes, the Navy has a nice low-visibility gray version for surveillance / targeting etc).
Which, ditto the whole self-destruct thing- if it’s a commercial version, probably a liability to have it explode in some random civilian’s face if they attempt to recover it.
I’m not happy they got it, and I assume it’s in Tehran by now, but it strikes me that this probably was a mapping or meteorological drone that got grabbed, not the “pinnacle of unmanned naval engineering.”

Jeez, assuming this is true this submarine drone will likely be in Iranian hands in short order to be reverse engineered. Not good!Did you consider that maybe, just maybe this was the plan?

We probably gave it to them. Got to keep the arms race alive.

McNamara thought that US high tech sensors and weaponry would defeat those sandal wearing Vietnamese, too.
