Re "500N: Your spoof theory is ok but why go to all the bother of parachutes, pallets and stuff, when you could just tow it and let it glide down?"
Why ?
Because I am not a pilot, know SFA about aero dynamics and wouldn't know if that thing would drop like a stone, spin down like a Sycamore seed or glide to a landing point if the engine cut out.
So, unlike SAM, I try only talk about what I know and the method I described is low tech, all gear needed would be readily available in Afghanistan, it's easy to set up and more importantly, it works, achieving the desired result of putting a drone with a little damage on the ground in Iran.
Gliding ?
Do you reckon you could tow that Drone behind another plane OK and that it would glide exactly where you wanted it to go ? I have my doubts but will leave it to the experts on here to correct me as to why it would glide OK.
