I guess it sort of makes sense if it was in full stealth mode (no radios etc.) but why would it be
and why would he put it in autopilot before ejecting, is there a way to retrieve a plane in autopilot, just doing its own thing?
I've seen people speculate that it's a cover story for one that was shot down where it shouldn't be, like Ukraine or near China but anyone who shoots one down isn't going to be quiet about it

You'd figure it would have a location beacon that would deploy on impact...like an airbag.

Yeah all military planes and ships have an ID transponder, we only shut them off during special ops.

We would shut off and tag anything that transmitted. We could have had a Soviet sub put a torpedo up our ass and nobody know until we never returned to base. The US and Russia constantly got subs off each others coast gathering intel and flying planes close also for the same reason.

yeah but this wasn't a combat mission, it malfunctioned over South Carolina so it was probably just training or routine flight tests or something. I don't know why they'd switch everything off to the point where they can't track it anymore unless they were specifically testing stealth, which would make it even funnier

Don't really buy it, but hilarious if true.
There were a crew blasting electrical infrastructure in the Pacific North West with rifles recently too. Must have been antifa, cos it never really got hyped.

LOL
makes about as much sense as it running in full stealth, the pilot ejecting and putting it in autopilot I guess
haven't seen anywhere state what variant it was. normally it'd be very difficult to shoot a fighter jet down with small arms but if it was the vertical landing variant doing takeoff/landing exercises that'd make it a lot easier

Shooting jets with sniper rifles like GTA 5
