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.

Scenario nr. 2. this drone is a dummy. Designed just to fool the Iranians.
When the drone was landing the Iranians did not prepare to engage, thus not switching their radars on. It is what they usually do when provoked by the Americans. who are always invading their air space trying to get the Iranians to switch their radars on and acquire their frequencies so they can jam them in an attack by the Israelis.
In this scenario the drone was trying to get the Iranians to switch their radars on.

Probably rode a under bomber belly until the border and then released to land in Iran.
