It wouldn't be an issue if it was a British drone, the radio control would have all but destroyed itself when it hit the ground and all the valves shattered, the software although poorly encryted would turn out to be a copy of Windows 95 running a pirated copy of Flight Sim 98 and the navigational software based on Google Map would probably be an older version of that on President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's mobile phone..... As for the package, heck you can pick up the old Zenith E cameras on Ebay for a pittance these days.

Still, at least the US will now be able to source cheap spares when the Chinese start producing them.
Strange how it appears to be devoid of any National insignia, given the USA's habit of slapping stars and bars on everything that moves...

You win first prize
