China will tell Iran everything they want them to know about it.

[TLI]

This is exactly why SF wanted to go in and destroy it.

Jug-ears the dumb-azz said no, the muzzies might be “offended.”

Can’t get him out fast enough...

***...whether the malfunctions inadvertently may have handed the Iranians not only the aircraft but its data.***

Inadvertent? Not with this CIC...

[elpadre]

tell us about the drone pilot

does he have a new Swiss bank account?

[U-238]

I can guarantee you this. All of the data in and on the plane will end up in Russia,China or North Korea.What ever happen to an automatic self destruction when incidents like this happened?

[U-238]

I think the drone pilot of the plane is all right.Its not his fault for flying a faulty plane. This is all of General Atomics fault and the CIA’s fault for not providing secure data links.

[exit82]

Quite frankly, none of this makes any GD sense.

There are limited scenarios that could possibly occur. One has to be what happened.

And no, super spy drones are not designed without failsafes—that is elementary.

And they are tested prior to use.

There is collusion here somehow. And I mean, up to the White House.

There is no reasonable explanation for this foul-up, which had multiple errors. None.

And none are acceptable.

[U-238]

Its clear the plane did not have any failsafes because they General Atomics thought that the Iranians would not “spoof” the plane.That plane should of had a self destruct mechanism or switch the second the plane went out of control.

[HereInTheHeartland]

“I think the drone pilot of the plane is all right.Its not his fault for flying a faulty plane. “

I heard that Obama ordered a rescue mission be put together to get the pilot back.

[U-238]

I would like to suggest to the CIA or Air Force to consider adding a self destruct mechanisms on all of their drone spy airplanes.

[U-238]

In fact Obama did send a special operations team to get the plane but they were too late.

[exit82]

That makes no sense. This is not directed to you personally.

Of course it had failsafes. That is standard operating procedure.

For this to even happen, there had to massive, multiple failures by multiple personnel.

Or it was ordered to happen.

With the regime, the latter makes the most sense.

The whole notion being put out by these sources that the drone had no failsafes is just disinformation...of the most insulting kind. We are not idiots.

[JSteff]

drone's operator to inadvertently land the aircraft.

There was nothing inadvertent about it. Someone paid a fee and on Obama's direction it was deliberately landed in enemy territory.

The Chinese then deposited the cash into the right accounts as payment in full.
And we all thought Clinton was good, Obama's Chicago training puts Obama far above even Clinton's tech transfers to China.

[JSteff]

Of course it had failsafes.

Yes but what if it was planned and the drone was set to land there?
Didn't it strike anyone how cavalierly it was handled?
It was NO accident that hardware or software could have prevented.

[Domandred]

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if this drone just happened to have a USB drive on board that contained all of our most top secret weapons data.
