Well obviously the author is just speculating on how it could have been done. My point is that it's not totally out of the question that Iran took hold of this drone via the LoS landing controls, if those landing controls are vulnerable to replay attack. This whole post is just speculation. It happens to be interesting, which is cool, but I don't think anybody is making the claim that this author knows exactly what happened.
