The dangers of not disabling flight logs- How Russians used a downed vampire drone to find a flight training area.

In a significant lapse of security, russian forces managed to recover a downed Ukrainian Vampire drone and access its flight recorder data by simply plugging it into a computer.

This breach occurred because someone in the Ukrainian military failed to erase the entire memory of the data logger before the drone's deployment.

As a result, the Russian servicemen were able to identify the drone's initial launch location, which turned out to be a flight training ground in a covert area of Ukraine.

This incident underscores the critical need for military personnel to ensure that drones are entirely cleared of any sensitive data that could potentially be exploited by adversaries, reinforcing the importance of digital security in modern warfare.
