Punked Again; Another Drone Easily Brought Down Intact

[cjjtulsa]

Looks like maybe another drone is brought down intact. Let's hope all of our other equipment (that we spend more on than the next 17 countries combined) is better than these high-tech turds.

Moscow (AFP) - A United States surveillance drone has been intercepted above the Ukranian region of Crimea, a Russian state arms and technology group said Friday.

"The drone was flying at about 4,000 metres (12,000 feet) and was virtually invisible from the ground. It was possible to break the link with US operators with complex radio-electronic" technology, said Rostec in a statement.

The drone fell "almost intact into the hands of self-defence forces" added Rostec, which said it had manufactured the equipment used to down the aircraft, but did not specify who was operating it.

"Judging by its identification number, UAV MQ-5B belonged to the 66th American Reconnaissance Brigade, based in Bavaria," Rostec said on its website, which also carried a picture of what it said was the captured drone.

I'm sure we'll issue a strongly worded statement on the matter. Take that Putin!
