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.

No one is being removed.

Impeachment is a useless theatrical process.

One would assume the rf signal that IDs a drone to command and control is encrypted and that ID encryption is programmable and changed periodically for security reasons.
