@mfbenson1 But doesn't that also say, "it's ok if our tech gets reverse engineered after shootdown"?@CraigMWhitlock -
@emptywheel@CraigMWhitlock that's an issue for piloted planes too. Either way they send out demolition teams to make sure not much is left. -
@mfbenson1 But doesn't the fact they're operating drones in area w/less ground presence make that harder?@CraigMWhitlock -
@emptywheel@CraigMWhitlock I wouldn't be surprised if they've had to drone strike some crashed drones.
