    What are the odds that GLA can steal a Drone?

    So we have this: Military drone mistaken for UFO on D.C.’s Capital Beltway

    Some folks in the Washington, D.C., area are buzzing about what they thought was a UFO atop a flatbed truck on the Capitol Beltway.

    Turns out the disc-shaped object was just a run-of-the-mill military drone.

    MyFoxDC reports that what drivers saw—and some photographed—around 11 p.m. Wednesday on Interstate 270, and then later on Interstate 495, was an X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System being transported from Edwards Air Force Base in California to the Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland for testing.

    Related video: Recent crash raises questions about drone safety.

    During its travels through the D.C. area, local station WTOP reported a flurry of activity on Twitter about the strange-looking object.

    This not the first time a drone was mistaken for something alien. Last year, a drone being transported by flatbed to Pax River for practicing aircraft carrier takeoffs and landings was also mistaken for a UFO, the Daily Caller reported.
    Do you think GLA will take the opportunity to steal one? I mean it's just a Hijacker and a Tunnel Network away from pulling that off and a Rebel to take capture a building that controls it ^^;

    No need for drones when you have many fanatics who are willing to give up their lives.
    They are expendable.

    Maybe a campaign level where as GLA you can capture some drones.

    Everyone knows that drones cannot be taken by Hijackers or Pilot Sniping, as they have no pilot. They would, however, be able to be controlled by Hackers.

    Seems like a lot of effort to go to when it's easier to use a downed drone like that one Iran captured last year or something.
