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.

Basically our government can make ANYTHING classified to the degree to where the public will never hear it, even when it’s really not classified.

If true, that's impeachment level stuff.

Maybe someone with military experience can weigh in on how this stuff works. I'm sure the recon/spy drones can switch transponder off, but the implication here is that it was left on and the air defense network read it as a friendly aircraft because the codes hadn't been updated to account for abandoned weaponry in Afghanistan.

That was ~2 years ago.
