These drones are run from encrypted wireless signals from a satellite. Once the encryption data is unencrypted the planes are like remote control toys.

I suspect someone has figured out the codes and is disabling the devices. Nothing is foolproof.

Re: Breaking.... Another Surveillance Drone Reportedly Crahes !!!
I should add that years ago it was discovered that the japanese were outsourcing sensitive electronics jobs to China. There was concern that the Chinese were building the motherboards that give our smart weapons their brains. And as they built them they were encrypting them with a disable code that would allow them simply remotely shut the device off.

I read it years ago and never heard anything of it again.. Perhaps it was true.

Just laying the groundwork for history to be read the way they want it to. 19 hijackers, I mean a rogue state (guess who) captured and reprogrammed a uav, mounted a nuke and detonated it 30 miles over Omaha which caused the emp that destroyed us and lead to ww3. If we would have just went and wiped them out this wouldn't have happened. And don't ask questions about coincidence of us doing all kinds of uav tests at the same time.

Hi O4a. No time to log in. Several weeks ago, I sent you a message saying I had a possible "word" about Mogadishu. I was not sure if it was truly the Holy Spirit or just my imagination. You said only time would tell. Maybe this is it? I have no clue, honestly. When I got the "Mogadishu" word, I also heard "straight lines." Or maybe it was "vertical lines."
