Is it cheaper and easier to train hackers or a complex air defense network, including SAMS, AAA, and interceptors?
Me thinks this was hacked. I said It was yesterday on a whim, but it's not too far fetched to have something slip away from us like that.
1999: F-117 shot down
2002: UAV shot down by MiG-25
2009: Insurgents use cheap video messaging program ($60 I think) to watch live feed of what the Americans were trying to kill next.
2011: Iran uses computer technology, with probable assistance with Chinese hackers, to jam all traffic feeds to the drone, replace it with theirs, and giggle as they land it in their backyard.
What's not to believe about that? Truth is stranger then fiction. Stealth is not an exclusive anymore. Kill the Ayatollas, and every cleric, Middle Eastern, American, EVERYWHERE, just leave the people! Take care of it and liberate us all.
