Iran Hacked the Drone, made it Land?
 

Sorry if this was posted before, but DANG.

Iranian electronic warfare specialists were able to cut off communications links of the American bat-wing RQ-170 Sentinel, says the engineer, who works for one of many Iranian military and civilian teams currently trying to unravel the drone?s stealth and intelligence secrets, and who could not be named for his safety.

Using knowledge gleaned from previous downed American drones and a technique proudly claimed by Iranian commanders in September, the Iranian specialists then reconfigured the drone's GPS coordinates to make it land in Iran at what the drone thought was its actual home base in Afghanistan.

HOLY BALLS is more like it.

It shouldn't come as any great surprise. This kind of stuff was new in the 1980s. Now any kid with a fucking wireless router can do it. Yeah, I know, I'm talking more or less....

What they'll need to do in the future is make it so that these things do not take in any radio communications. Fly them on a pre planned course, teach them to record anything interesting, and then fly back. If you can't command in the air, they can't take control of it.

you mean like use a pilot? :1orglaugh

at this point, anyone who believes anything Iran says should get their head checked :(

more propaganda.

well, looking at the condition of the drone, it may not be too far from the truth:2 cents:

drone was undamaged so its not just a propaganda...

so why don't they have a self destruct

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

They wont be able to do jack shit with it, which is why they'll hand it over to their pals (The Russians) to stick their ruskie noses into it.

Drone was damaged when landing.. Sounds to me like they did NOT have control of it. It just fell.

Something fishy here. I'm not buying it.

naw Iran will just look it up on wiki to see how it all works

If things get serious they can always send a drone filled with a bio agent... let the Iranians land it and wait for the plague to spread. It's a modern day Trojan horse at if they really can land it. :winkwink:

You can't trust anything from the Iranian government, but who knows?

Maybe the drone ran out of gas..

i would love to know the real story here. U.S. military stuff like that doesnt just malfunction when on a serious misson and theres no way the iranians brought it down on their own.

would love to know what is really going on here.


we need wehateporn in here:


"the captured helicopter remains in Pakistan and this drone is being used as a decoy for biological warfare by the U.S. government on it's own people all devised by the illuminati"

They took a long enough break from fucking camels to make a US drone land?

I was wondering why it was so intact.

Many believe China and or Russia were involved for the hacking...Makes sense considering their relationship with Iran and not-so-friendly relationships with US and what both countries do on a daily basis as for cyber attacks.

Its fairly certain it was not shot down but brought down under control...by the looks of it from reports.

You seem to think the Iranians are sand monkeys... That might have been true decades ago, but believe it or not, they do have some very intelligent engineers these days. The Muslims pioneered many scientific discoveries throughout the ages and theorized many of the same conclusions as other more well known scholars long before the "Western" world.

Do a Google search, about a month ago there was a story about the U.S drone computers being hit with a computer virus, the military confirmed it was true. There was probably a post about it on GFY.

I wonder if this is related.

Top-level secret societies are well beyond the scope necessary when examining this event Mr Buzz :upsidedow

However, you are right not to accept media content at face value :thumbsup

Maybe they learned after getting their reactors whooped by 'whoever' planted that insanely detailed crazy virus in their centrifuges.

Top Down :)

i bet the real one crashed and that's a model very easy to do

Too easy? Maybe they spent a few billion developing and building them and couldn't afford a stick of dynamite or some plastic explosives?

Probably just ego. They likely thought nobody would figure something so simple out.

Actually... That is entirely possible and something I didn't think of.

ill think ill make one in my shed see how fast the front door gets kicked in by the fbi :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

They haven't figured a way to remove it. They wipe the machines clean and it comes back. They sa it was brought in via a usb.

bondo ftw

(is that how its said/spelled? Idk I even failed at making a volcano in middle school)

No, not at all.

Rip out all equipment that can receive (or transmit data). Once it's in the air, it's on it's own - you can't radio it and tell it to change course or come home. Program it to fly a certain route, target certain areas. Train it so that when it sees something out of the norm to look at it closer.
