Yeah I was hoping for something more James Bond. Like launching electrical probes like a tazer, or spinning blades or something. But this works too.
Now I wonder how intentional it was. If it had lost radio contact, that seems like somewhat dangerous default behavior.
Maybe it has a sort of antihandling device just for this purpose
I can see something like if it rolls over and can't right itself would be good reason to self detonate. Or maybe if it reaches a certain altitude
rolls over, gets taken out of the water, loses connection for some long time, gps indicates that it's on land, all of these suggest future reverse engineering and can be prevented easily
