Probably sometimes, but also fantastically devious most of the other times. And this combination will mean that their opposition will have to question
everything that happens. Is this a trap or do they now have access to the latest and greatest US tech to reverse-engineer? No Admiral Ackbar (sp? the Star Wars guy...) to warn them.
For example, in the olden days the US blew up a huge section of the USSR's natural gas pipeline or a refinery or something like that. How they did it was that there was a known mole in a Canadian energy company who managed to get a hold of some 'latest and greatest' valves or something. But it was planned and had an engineered-in design flaw that had a life of a few years. So, the Soviets
technically blew up their own pipeline.
Stuff like this is old news for the CIA. So who knows what this drone situation really is?
