ok, so why don't these drones have some sort of self-destruct system? The iraqi's shot one down over baghdad and now they have it in their posession, maybe it doesn't matter if iraq had one, but why give them a 10 year research boost by allowing them to reverse engineer that sucker.

They're not going to have time to reverse engineer it.

They should have a remote switch for auto-destruct.
