-and in related news, but for an interesting aside - ukraine has claimed to have commandeered a russian uav of iranian manufacture with munitions aboard and all. As these drones are understood to be knockoffs of us analogs - one wonders who keyed them into the vulnerabilities of their design. An example of ukraine boosting something that;s good for their own interests...that may not be in the interests of the us to divulge, even as propaganda or mere possibility.
While it's not an industry secret that uavs and their payloads are susceptible to being commandeered - many claims by the us gov and other agencies have been designed to imply that they are not - and it may be more difficult for governments to justify launching drone wars if there was a greater realization of the reality of their use, it's limitations, and it's risks.
