Iran captured US drone intact!

What do you think , how did the Iranians do it??

are americans as aloof about it and not freaked out by this development as they appear to be??


Iranian state-run TV showed images of what appears to be a RQ-170 Sentinel drone, which the Islamic Republic claimed to have brought down by cyberattack in its airspace near the Afghanistan border over the weekend.**

Iran shows intact drone, boasts of cyberattack**

Iranian TV has shown the first video footage of an advanced US drone aircraft that Tehran says it downed 140 miles (225km) from the Afghan border.

Re: Iran captured US drone intact!

that's pretty smart of the Iranians.

Re: Iran captured US drone intact!

Most probably think it crashed on its own.

Re: Iran captured US drone intact!

Well drone appears to be in good condition though. But this was very smart of them. It showed Americans that they are not to mess with. Unlike our country..we haven't done anything to stop drone attacks.

Nice high tech Russkie stuff… :k:

Re: Iran captured US drone intact!

I doubt the Iranians (or Americans for that matter) can actually intercept and re-deploy instructions to make it land. More likely there was a satellite glitch long enough for it to decide to land. Some GPS's for example get 'stuck' on old positional coordinates.

But then again, I do know some smart Iranians, so may be they did figure out a way!

Re: Iran captured US drone intact!

Ironic it decided to land in the very state it was sent to spy on... Either its a terrible spy or a double agent...

Re: Iran captured US drone intact!

are you saying the Americans decided to land it in Iran??
or the Drone decided itself??

Re: Iran captured US drone intact!

americans would have rather exploded it in the air if they had slightest of hint that its going to land in Iranian territory.

I tend to believe that Iranians have actually pulled it off, and its pretty smart of them. its not fake because obama himself said usa is demanding iran to return the drone.

it didnt crash badly because its in good condition, may be some damage at the bottom that's why they covered that area

very well done by iran

Re: Iran captured US drone intact!

@NomiCA & Aceones! - no, obviously it was clearly out of American control and it doesn't look like it 'crashed'. So the only two options are either the Iranians figured a way to bring it down or it landed due to a glitch and Iranians took possession. My gues is a 35:65 that it was a glitch

Re: Iran captured US drone intact!

I know Iran has shot down several UAVs but…

The ‘Tehran Times’ reports that Iran has several foreign spy planes in its possession which it plans to exhibit soon.

Re: Iran captured US drone intact!

Good for Iran. They hacked in to the drone cyber system and brought it down. The drone had several back up plans if the navigater lost control. such as several auto-control pilots taking over, programmed to return to base and even self destruct. ...but neither was applied as their system was totally jammed. :-D

It took the US five years to make, and they go and gift it to iran. lol.

Right now Iran are busy decoding the data and reverse engineering it for reproduction. then perhaps they'll sell them abroad as they're pretty much in demand!

Simply Amazing.
