Iran hijacked US drone, claims Iranian engineer Tells Christian Science
Monitor that CIA's spy aircraft was 'spoofed' into landing in enemy

Iran guided the CIA's "lost" stealth drone to an intact landing inside
hostile territory by exploiting a navigational weakness long-known to the
US military, according to an Iranian engineer now working on the captured
drone's systems inside Iran.

If the report in the article is true, we deserve to lose drones to
countries like Iran for not having the sense to install an inertial
guidance system to back up and "reality check" the GPS. (Omitting
IGS would be such a major gaffe that it calls into question the
veracity of the Iranian claims. Were we really that stupid, or that cheap?)
Best regards,
