I doubt the US isn't informed about the status of the program...
Sure, just like those WMD's Iraq had hidden away, 100% certain and no doubt about it. Tongue

I'm not sure what you're saying. Let's just say what the US knows and what the US says they know are 2 different things.

I dont think we will go to war with Iran, they may already have nuclear weapons, US will never take those risks.

I doubt the US isn't informed about the status of the program. I also assume they Iran doesn't have nuclear weaponry. I also assume they don't have intercontinental rockets able to make a delivery to New York.
Additionally I assume that all the nuke-talk is just a front, like with Saddams weapons of mass destruction.

Correct my assumptions in case they're wrong.

From what I understand after reading some expert theories it went something like this.... The drone live feeds are unencrypted meaning anyone with a regular home commercial satellite antenna, a laptop, and some free software available on the net can snoop on the location of the device. As far as I could tell this did not allow them direct control of the device, but allowed them enough access to change the preset GPS coordinate of the device's home base. As the drone is programmed to return to home if the signal is lost, after this first step they simply scrambled the drone's external control signal and forced it to return to their own base landing safely intact.

good point .. Wat sorta creep that this is turned in to some kind of field outing. " Come on kids lets go and see who can bring down the drone" What did you make jimmy?  " I made a 4 megabite interface residual compressed 3d holographic duall processing atomic splitting controle processor"

Oo h hh h DHS is really going to be interested in that. .

Jimmy ; What does a drone do?  Ooh they kill people. . lol . . And they " Survey" America. . Give jimmy a hand class. .

Tech support knew it was possible. Military and defense contractors know just how little they need to do to get Uncle Sam to send the next $1,000,000,000 their way.

Why do more than the minimum? If the US Armed Services needed a secured drone, they'd have insisted on it the first time! The incentives in the Military Industrial Complex are all backwards.

Nah that's a publicity stunt trying to get kids interested in technologies to do with home defense. It's an interesting advertisement.

A multi million drone brought down by students. . And tech support didn't have a clue that could be possible?

What kind of level of sophistication would you have to have to do that?

Ever see The World is not Enough?  Yeah, something like that, but you don't need that much tech. Just an accurate clock, and a powerful radio transmitter. Some kids from UT did it not too long ago.

You think it was a publicity stunt. ?

They spoofed GPS signal with false coordinate because it wasn't encrypted.

Yeh heard something about that spy drone just a small bit in passing. . But yeh they just fucking hacked it and brought it down. .  :-o
What i understand. .What kind of level of sophistication would you have to have to do that? Is this ordinary ?
Normal? Or is this quite extraordinary.

It seems much more likely that Iran hijacked the command interface and took control of the drone, or it crashed. The system described above is theoretical and no known example of it exists.

Perhaps presumptuous .. but there are plenty of people out there that think a war with iran is a great Idea. I didn't want to go through all the comments so i threw a little bait out Smiley

I don't know if it's been said before but: an attack on Iran will /would be the start of ww3.  Any body rooting for this war hasn't got their head screwed on. Or actually wants to see themselves destroyed. Iran has got agents all over fukng america.  Sure america can anihilate Iran by sending an arsenal of what ever high explosives over there but Iran will retaliate .. Self defence guys (  for who ever is in favour of america attacking Iran) DON"T Mistake Iran As some sort of Backward country.  If you do you better get your facts straight and Wisen Up.
I don't think anyone here is "rooting" for war, I just think it is more like your average every day callous discussion on the internet.

Does the list of assassinated Iranian scientists count as an attack? What about the magical exploding nuclear facilities? Exploding generals? When does this officially become an attack?


Don't you understand government loyalist logic? It's magic, magic killed them and made them explode too! What an interesting phenomenon.
