Title: $200 million MQ-4C Triton sends goes missing

$200M - there goes your health care, stupid americans


Quote:
  A US Navy MQ-4C Triton unmanned surveillance aircraft is reported to have declared an in-flight emergency over the Persian Gulf before rapidly losing altitude and disappearing from public tracking data, according to open-source flight monitoring platforms. However, the US Navy has not confirmed the incident, and the claims are based on interpretations by netizens using online flight tracking services.

Disappearing from public tracking does not automatically mean the drone crashed or was shot down. Military UAVs can intentionally stop broadcasting ADS-B for operational/security reasons, switch to classified modes, or experience temporary tracking gaps.

The US Navy and Pentagon have not issued any statement confirming the incident, a crash, loss of the aircraft, or any cause
