• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I'll take. Hack a UAV for 26$ Alex.

So they were able to watch the video feed from the Predator, that just lets them see which mud hut is about to get a Hellfire missile through the front door. No big deal. :d
 
Precisely!

Further, the reason they were able to see it is that a decision was made in real time that we could accept the risk they would be able to see it. For reasons I won't get into, we decided there was an operational benefit to using a method they could intercept, and since this happened, many other methods have been adopted to ensure they cannot while at the same time achieving the operational outcome that caused the risk in the first place.

Saying the enemy could sieze control of the RPA's makes even less sense than saying someone who steals cable TV suddenly becomes the CEO of the network he stole the video from!
