Iranian propaganda ? Israelian propaganda to put pressure on the US ?

The Norks have been doing similar things to manned US recon aircraft for a while. Iran gets most of its gear from North Korea so its possible.

Hmm, is it so (relatively) easy to feed wrong GPS data to a drone - imagine they would be able to take full control ?
But letting them get those things intact is bad enough

typical of the cutbacks in the military that better monitoring and guidence systems havent been installed after so many years of using "old" tech to control them.

a simple gps locator signal could have given a heads up to someone that it was out of control and to trigger the self destruction of the spy drone.
