    The F-117 over Kosovo was quite literally the product of bad generals and bad "theratre" management. it flew the same route every night. all they had to do was wait until late at night and throw up a couple of rockets. They knew when and where it will be and so failed not do to tech but bad field managers.

    I also read that explanation. But the point is that aircraft should be self-contained and should not rely on other aircraft to perform jamming for them. I can't say much more than that other than that the later upgrades to the F-15's ECM system addressed the low-frequency problem. The C-models came first, and the E-models came with a more advanced and elegant solution. Self-containment is why the F-15 is the Cadillac of all the air-superiority fighters.

    Aldous Huxley, let me give you and the other burgeoning terrorists some advice regarding that:

    If you manage to get your grubby hands on a drone, call a buddy over to help you pull the boxes. Get one man on the front section while the other pulls the boxes from the center of gravity (near the middle of the plane).

    The rule of thumb is that boxes with the widest data connectors and RF (Coaxial) connections are more valuable. The more connections the box has, the more valuable it is.

    Next, strip all antennae from the plane. I can't say more about this without being taken away by a black SUV, but if something is sticking out from the airframe, it's an antenna.

    Ignore the propulsion section and all electronics connected to fuel lines.

    Why are you contradicting yourself?

    Noise jamming is not "technical wizardry." It is the crudest form of electronic jamming known to man. It's the "hail mary" of the jamming world. If Iran used it, they did so because their technology is primitive, not because they had inside information.

    Yeah that's called "security through obscurity" and no self-respecting security relies on it.

    Well, that may or may not be true, but you must admit that the 'States, Israel, and other nations all have common interests in the Middle-east. Nobody likes the Muslims. And the Islamic nations happen to be sitting on tremendous deposits of natural resources. You can hate Israel all you want, and they are dicks, but they still have (with loud minority exceptions) the most gender-neutral society in the entire world.

    As for the Islamic nations, well, they as a whole don't garner a whole lot of worldwide sympathy for their child brides, honor killings and maimings of women(woman was raped - KILL HER!), worship of an ominous black cube, suicide bombings, and the list goes on and on.

    And things are gonna stay that way as long as people can point to the Muslim nations and say, "well, at least we're not like that!.

    Yeah, I also laughed out loud when I saw the page in the link.

    I do find it credible that Iran didn't use technical wizardry to down the drone. As a former Air Force electronic warfare technician, I'm guessing that Iran just flooded the area with high-amplitude noise jamming to trigger an automatic landing routine. My knowledge is not current, but much military technology nowadays uses 2 other (3-letter-acronym) types of satellite-based navigation technology with better precision than that of GPS.

    There's a reason for classifying technology, and it's not to hide super-secret features. It's to prevent the enemy from knowing what a piece of shit the technology is.

    But then again, seeing how the Joint Strike fighter and the F-22 both turned out to be flimsy, overpriced pieces of shit, It would not surprise me to see hurried Tijuana design practices in the systems integration. The last good American aircraft was the ultra-versatile, ultra-reliable F-15 airframe, which is still being adapted for use. I know because I worked on 'em, back in the days when their main antenna array was mechanically scanned :)

    I did not write the sexist troll to which you responded, but I think now is a good time to mention that I imagine that you have plump breasts. Allowing me to unhook your bra, you sigh with relief as you are freed from the oppression of your conservative rose-colored D-cup underwires.

    Your areolae are large and pale, but your nipples are like pink, meaty pizza sausages. They are a pleasure to chew on, for they taste of the faint aroma of Poison perfume with the salinity of light sweat. Your neighboring underarms have a hot and humid but pleasant sharp floral smell.

    I imagine lightly gripping one of your nipples with my teeth, pulling it 4 inches outward with my bite, and then releasing it as it recoils toward your breast with a satisfying *snap*. You feel guilty for enjoying it even though you are a masochist.

    You enjoy this because you spend all of your working hours in control. You dominate. You have to work extra-hard to ensure that you're taken seriously because you're a woman with something to prove. You are cocky, stubborn, and difficult because you have to be.

    But with us, it's different. Being in control is exhausting. So you cede control to me, and I take care of you. I caress every inch of your throbbing body, spreading rose petals throughout the bed, giving you full-body massages under candlelight, with scented Jasmine candles. You feel even warmer when the Pinot Noir kicks in. You are my sugar mama. I spend the day cleaning the house and watching soap operas while you are out winning the bread.

    Based on my experience with DHS checkpoints (at this time, things will undoubtedly get worse as time progresses), as long as you do not raise your voice or object, they will search your vehicle and all of your persons, including warrant checks for all. If they find anything like a gun or a small bag of drugs, they will run all of the checks and contact the local highway patrol to do the actual booking. This "keeps America safe" while generating plenty of revenue for the states.

    If you do raise your voice or object, they will charge you with a blanket offense like "insulting a federal officer" or "terrorist threats." Don't laugh - an unarmed transgender with both arms in the air was tazed in the crotch by the BLM pigs. S/he was later charged with "terrorist threats."
