  what?! that's an argument for more unmanned planes. imagine if the RQ-170 had been a manned spy plane and Iran had captured a human pilot.

    LOL modern pilots are a little GPS focused and not as good at dead reckoning and pilotage as the olden days, and deserts are kind of featureless, but tricking a human into landing on the wrong side of the front lines is a pretty unlikely outcome.

    A manned plane probably wouldn't have been tricked.

      The drone may not have been tricked either. It may have simply crashed.

    A human pilot wouldn't have done this.
