Not a source that I can post, but I'm hearing the drone attack was actually a US drone left behind in Afghanistan. It was broadcasting as a friendly aircraft which is why it was able to get through defenses.

I'm not a military guy, but shouldn't the transponder IDs of equipment left behind been reclassed as non-friendly? If this gets confirmed, this is malfeasance of the highest order and should blow back on Sec Def and Biden.

Joe Bidens America

We don't even know if the SecDef is on the job.

Like they will ever admit how much they left behind over there, either in equipment or in civilian who got abandoned.

Anyone in the general public expecting to ever know the truth on how the attack occurred is a fool.

That explanation strays into some classified stuff. I wouldn't expect a lot of clarity there.

The speculation I heard was that the radar / detection systems were turned off. I'm not sure we'll get an answer to this question, from this administration - and if we do, I'm not sure we can trust that it's a truthful answer.

It was a small outpost. The real question is why are our troops in an outpost in Jordan.

I heard a rumor it was trailing a US drone. No idea.

That would require the military to think about military stuff and not race/gender/LGBTQ stuff.

We may never know the exact dollar amount of U.S. weapons systems dumped into Afghanistan and Ukraine with little-to-no oversight that ended up as black market goods. It certainly is no coincidence that both countries now serve as a hub for the illicit international arms trade.

“They” wanted it to be successful, so it was. It served its purpose.

Wishful thinking.

It's totally (D)ifferent for them, you know.

Yeah, 100%. And nothing as valuable and dangerous as a fricking MilSpec drone should've ever been left behind for the goat raping Tallys anyway. Should've wrapped that shite in det-cord and futilized it, if absolutely forced to abandon it.

IFF Mode IV codes are switched out after a very short period of time. There is ZERO chance a left behind drone is transmitting the correct responses to an interrogation.

ETA - I’m not sure which systems drones use, if any, to respond to interrogations. But the codes required are changed very frequently. It’s more likely defenses were down.
