Knowing how unreliable RF can be, I think they had to make a tradeoff between self-destruct on interference being a hilarious and cheap way to destroy their expensive drone fleet and landing on extended interference.
- politician 15y agoSelf-destruct on interference ... of a stealth drone... in enemy airspace... because it is presumably damaged to the point where it can't fly east. It's stealth, so they shouldn't have been able to track it. It's encountering this over enemy airspace, so it should interpret this as an attack. The untethered drone has a few options: (a) fly east, (b) self-destruct, or (c) land. It's bizarre that it chose to land under those conditions.
