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?

You presume we didn't WANT them to have our old technology...

They'll spend a decade trying to decipher something we don't care a whit about...

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.
