EMP was what I was thinking, but I'd bet they are hardened to some degree. I cannot help but doubt they hacked it. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

My partners son worked for Boeing when these were in the works. Supposedly, they had. A "fly to home" program if they lost communications with the base. Thats why I'm surprised to see that the Iranians are claiming to have it. Also, the photos look like a different model. |
