Droner

 

Dette er kostbare greier, og en så på denne høytflygeren som en ganske sikker flytype. Dn aktuelle maskinen kom for ikke lenge siden til Joint Base Sigonella på Sicilia. Det er samme basen hvor NATO har sine Global Hawks, et prosjekt Norge er med på. Flight path for maskinen som forsvant var meget mystisk. Det er ikke usannsynlig at den  kan ha blitt hacket. (Red.)

NAPLES, Italy — The Navy this week confirmed the loss of a multimillion-dollar reconnaissance drone, one of more than a dozen costly unmanned aerial vehicles the U.S. has reportedly lost so far during the Iran war.

The MQ-4C Triton intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance drone was listed as having crashed April 9, according to a Naval Safety Command mishaps report released Tuesday. The report withheld the drone’s location, citing operational security.
