US RQ-170 drone missing in Iran was part of CIA spy operation | Space, Military and Medicine | News.com.au
According to a senior US military source with intimate knowledge of the Sentinel drone, the aircraft likely "wandered" into Iranian air space after losing contact with its handlers and is presumed to be intact since it is programmed to fly level and find a place to land, rather than crashing.
Maybe I'm missing something, wouldn't the last thing you would want your "drone" to do if loosing contact, is to find some where to land? I'm suspecting bullsh!t. I mean imagine it, you would not have to take control, just jam comm's and whalla comes into land at your base.
If it is the case the Iranians would be p!ssing them selves laughing.
