#2 D *** NG IT, it may NOT had crashed iff it had been Nukulaar ...

To wit,

* RENSE > BUILDING NUCLEAR DRONES - COULD STAY ALOFT FOR MONTHS [Years?] | [Guardian.UK] US DRAWS UP PLANS FOR NUCLEAR DRONES.

SOLYNDRA, etc. FAILURES = ditto as per SOLAR-POWERED DRONES???

versus

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > AS DRONES RISE, A MANNED FIGHTER FALLS.

* INDIAN DEFENCE FORUM > SECRET US NUCLEAR DRONE PLAN NIXED BY POLITICAL REALITIES .

Artic read, US Budget $$$ woes.

Lest we fergit, INDIA = wants to dev an LCS-styled NT Surface Warship that can also submerge + operate like a UW Submarine - FLY??? NOT TO ARGUE THEY WILL, BUT KUDOS TO INDJUH ARE APPROPRIATE AS THEY WANT TO INVESIGATE + DEV THE CONCEPT.

Don't read or hear, etc. the USA + USDOD-DARPA saying to do the same thing.
