It would take more than a software change. How would a ground controller send and receive signals from the aircraft that could manage the controls without additional radio gear? And if the software were altered, the pilots would see anomalies immediately. No way they would even allow boarding of the aircraft once they saw anything unusual.

MSI,

Re: it sounds tricky, without cameras in front or something similar,

The military has everything needed for remote control. First of all, navigation could have been controlled totally by means of GPS waypoints and endpoint. Radar and laser guidance are secondary alternatives. There is absolutely no need for visual (camera) data when guiding a plane.
