Top secret, hi tech US drone lands in Iran. Russians and Chinese apparently interested in having a peak.

Wouldn't you think that if anything went wrong on one of these flights the plane would self destruct?

Even a self destruct circuit is subject to failure.

True, but if I were King I would strive to make that the least likely to fail.

Then there is the possibility that Iran is blowing smoke up our a$$ over just exactly what they were able to recover.

He wouldn't dick around with us just because we are invading his airspace and making illegal flights over his sovereign territory, would he?

Looks like the drone survived in one piece.

Hope it has a locator still active on board!

Be nice if we could target it with a smart bomb.
