Majorjackov
It looks quite intact for the landing I'm imagining it had
Floorbook
They are designed to stay in the air using minimal energy. If the engine fails they probably glide to land on flat ground with no power
antishark
Such a pain to go get one after its downed..wish we could just blow them up every time.
CptCaptcha
Don't know if I can confirm but don't those just glide on in and crash if they have a mechanical failure?
draco91
They are remotely piloted.
CptCaptcha
I know lol I pilot drones, but not this kind, just a little smaller, I just heard if they have some sort of failure where they can't (1/?)
CptCaptcha
Bring them back they go into glide mode as to cause the least amount of damage, the ones I fly have a parachute that will flip the (2/?)
draco91
Not sure. I know of an incident where they lost control of a drone and vectored in a fighter to shoot it down.
CptCaptcha
Drone over to protect the $800,000 payload for the million dollar aircraft when it does come down. (3/3)
Ksjjjdnaja
Fueselage is pretty intact, radome looks good, wings fairly intact, multi-million dollar payload...total loss lol
VigorousButtstuff
One wing is higher than the other and resting on an engine. Other engine's probably gone. Optics too.
turdferguson74
Only has one rear mounted engine on the fuselage itself. Hard points on the wings allow it to carry payload, in this case, probably fuel
VigorousButtstuff
Then it's amazing the thing isn't in bits as it looked like it lost a payload tank.
Ksjjjdnaja
Doesn't currently have drop tanks, the only declassified payload it carries on the wings are Hellfires.
WarmedProduct
There's no evidence of that behind it either...
GilaMonsieur
chemistsdoitintesttubes
Looks like it hung a hard left as it came to a stop. You can see some scrapes in the dirt behind it and to the right.
KjTheLightning
you also see it's tilted on the left, implying the left wing got damaged.
chemistsdoitintesttubes
Yeah, I'm thinking maybe it caught a rock or a hill and twisted to a stop like a skier.
TylerPowell89
they are either going to try and destroy it (I.e. Bomb) or send a unit to recover it. Wouldn't want to be there either way!
mistakenforpizza
They actually have a built-in self destruct device so if they feel it could fall into enemy hands they'd just blow it up no need for bombs
TylerPowell89
Does said self destruct create a huge fiery explosion??
Cravanicus
It implodes on itself creating a black hole that also implodes upon itself. Poof, disappears!
freewaydog
Probably not the safest place to be.
Drenlin
The other pictures of this showed Iraqi officials nearby. It was under friendly control, so no need to strike it.
thehungriestandy
Yeah that's the face of a man who's already been bombed by another one of those
Juantapman
Didn't they bomb the last drone that went down? The Global Hawk?

lol he's living in (I'm assuming) the Middle East during times of extreme turmoil, the whole area is not a safe place
R3C0NXD45
Just because you're in an already unsafe place doesn't mean you can't put yourself in an area much less safe than others
Juddyouclown
Several different parties are on their way to retrieve it and will kill each other to make sure they take it home.
SidneyHarbor
Trust me, sitting next to a downed US UAV is dramatically more dangerous than simply being in whatever country he's in.
harambedaycare
The drone shouldn't be there. The arrogance of US... It's HIS country. How dare he look at US weapons of terror that kill 90% civilians.
Fairdinkums
Yeah i was gonna say, I'm almost positive they'd be sending some heavy hitters to pick that shit up and fast!
alexwrath
Pick it up? Pretty sure they'd just blow it up
JonatanFuglevaag
Depends on the location, but yeah if recovery is considered unviable they'll strike it or engineers will swing by and dispose of it.
Fairdinkums
Cool i didn't know they did that!
alexwrath
I know "engineer" is the correct term, but my inner toddler just wants to call them "make go boom dudes".
JonatanFuglevaag
That's not far off from what your average enthusiastic combat engineer thinks himself from my impression. Haha
josh7locke8888
America will be there in 5 to pick it up.
vobra
Distribute it across the desert in a million pieces
NiteRhys
More likely to blow it up
SeanSweat
Ditto, reconstructed a very similar event
strippersnoopy
That's exactly what will happen. Its easier (and safer) to blow it up than to try and recover it.
CarpetShark
As someone who works in the Intel community, can confirm. He should get very far away.

Can't speak to current SOP but when was deploying in early / mid 2000 we didn't fuck around with MAM. If there were any in the vicinity 1/2
JustSayingYouHaventSeenMeAndBatmanInTheSameRoomBefore
when some shit went down you can pretty much guarantee they were getting taken into custody at the very least.
thehungriestandy
Oh btw, thank you for your service :) I myself plan to join the military in he coming years and I'm more than grateful to those who have 1
thehungriestandy
Yeah I can't imagine the ROE's allowed you to just scorch the earth if someone was chilling by a downed drone. Probably came close, though.
