#2 Operation Biting - That time in WWII When British paratroopers stole a Nazi radar station from occupied France.

In the early days of World War II the Germans still had an advantage over the British. Even though the Royal Air Force had won the Battle of Britain, its bombers suffered heavy losses when they crossed the channel into occupied Europe.

British scientist believed this was due to advances in German radar technology.

Reconnaissance photos showed that the Germans indeed had a complex radar system involving two types of systems – long-range early warning and short-range precision – that allowed them to effectively guide night fighters to British bomber formations. In order to develop effective countermeasures against these radar systems the British scientists needed to study one.

Operation Biting was conceived to steal a German "Wurzburg" short-range radar.

#3 Changes to be made I am sure.

Antenna farms and fiber bundles are always a bad idea. Ideal for install and maintenance workers, not so good for defenders.

#5 Can intercept wifi and jam. Hard wire is can't be, however, a parallel line can pick up signals via inducement. Do not run the red and black wires in parallel. Fiber optics is more secure.

#8 Bury the cables AMD the controll center "container". These brave reaper guys came too close to being KIA.

#9 Shirley, the Mullahs didn't target the drone control sites on purpose? Blind luck or high precision?

#10 Probably the former Booby, and don't call them Shirley.
