Re: Impressive!
Scharre noted that the case illustrated some of the problems with deploying semi-autonomous systems in comparison to manned military units.
It is a drone repeat of this incident: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Belgian_MiG-23_crash
Thankfully, with a happier ending.
So the fact that a pilot is onboard is not a guarantee that an aircraft will not fly in an unexpected direction until it runs out of fuel (we were lucky in 1989, if that happened let's say 5 years earlier we could have had WW3).
