Alright.
How can a battle machine crash in time of a possible war zone due to technical faults?
I won't believe it. Technical faults are the last thing to happen in a battle field, the birds are made as technical fault proof as possible.
The locals have a fresh supplies of Stingers and Small SAMs (I guess Anza supplied by I-S-I, just a personal guess though) to counter drone attacks in particular areas. For instance, look at the report. Locals say the UAV was shot down. The authorities say it was a technical fault. How would they, being 8,000 miles away, say if it was a technical fault or not. Probably the last thing they saw on the screens was it was heading to the target, and suddenly lost the communication.
I still stand by what I said. It's a SAM.
