Throwing that out there , has happened several times. If this thing was important enough we could have easily targeted the area it Crash Landed in and blew it to bits.
If i was Iran , i would be questioning why i had this aircraft in my hands and why didnt the Americans do anything about it if it is a game changer.
They plug the drone up to a networked database to gather its protocol information , the information that it is running off , and where it is was being controlled from. Then all the sudden a nice little new virus pops up on the Iranian military networkedit on 04/30/2011 by milkyway12 because: (no reason given)

Does Iran possess that technology?

Considering smart drones made by the US can be remotely disposed of and if that failed simply launch a craft lock on to the GPS coordinates , blow it up.edit on 04/30/2011 by milkyway12 because: (no reason given)

How else do you think they will get the information out of the electronic programming of the drone? By a hand held cell phone?edit on 04/30/2011 by milkyway12 because: (no reason given)

Let us not forget stuxnet. That was a manufactured super virus...suffice to say, there are MUCH bigger things going on than we can possibly understand. I think there might be something to this "trojan horse". Iran should tread carefully.
I have a hard time believe that we "lost" control of this UAV. I have an even harder time believing that we wouldnt have blown it to bits if it had crashed landed, Iran be damned. Something is fishy about this.
