    Good thing I'm not in charge of the drone program! They'd all have a proximity switch that triggers electronic jamming at 200 yards and 10# of enclosed C4 at 25 yards.

    Good thought. I think that might dissuade additional "not events.".

    The dumping of the fuel on the drone, by the Russianicon jet, could, possibly, have had a similar effect if it had got into the drone's engine air intake or on a hot engine.
