I'm trying to re-engineer the loss of the drone to Iran. Scenario nr. 1.

The Iranians did not do anything to get it. A fault of the system, probably software can be the cause

Here is my scenario. Guys acquired all the data for the planned sortie. Once completed. The hit: "Return to base."

The navigation system of the done should have done the rest. Safely flying back and landed in the airbase it operates from.

A bug in the software caused it to seek a place to land and did. Only that the spot was inside Iranian territory.

But the people operating the drone, are not usually tracking it and waiting it to land to land at home. Had they been tracking it, they had sent the command self-destruct once they had seen it doomed.

Once the people in Afghanistan at the base of the drone did not acquire it on their radar, they called the people at control center in the US.

When they get back to station the drone already landed in Iran. They went there and retrieved the drone intact.
