U.S. drone shot down in Pakistan

pakistan must get the wreckage of this drone the predator drone tech is a very advance technology its the next gen warfare pak & china like iran & russia should work on this it can be a technological break through
 
I don't have to because i know they want to install in fact impose their form of government (barbaric like they did in Swat) on the people of Pakistan.I am not blind man.Just because you hate US does not mean you start loving the Talibans ( Who have killed far more Pakistanis then America could ever kill). I find it ironic that some people would support barbaric taliban rule when in fact they themselves cannot live in such system.

I don't hate the US, but the Taliban are their creation. So when the two enemies fight eachother, it is an excellent situation for us.
 
U.S. drone shot down in Pakistan

A U.S. drone may have crashed on Saturday in North Waziristan, not far from the Afghan border, Pakistan intelligence officials said, and Taliban militants said they had shot it down.

Taliban militants led by Hafiz Gul Bahadur said they had collected wreckage of the destroyed drone and would provide its pictures to the media on Sunday.

Pakistani security officials, however, said they did not know what caused the drone to crash.

"A drone aircraft was seen going down in Machikhel and flames were seen," a Pakistani intelligence official said.

"We don't know what caused it to go down. We are investigating."

Another official said the drone had gone down in an area controlled by militants, about 30 km (20 miles) from the Afghan border.

"The local Taliban have the wreckage," he said.

The drone campaign has angered Pakistanis, who say it is a violation of sovereignty and causes many civilian casualties. The United States says the strikes are very accurate and the number of civilian deaths is minimal.

Taliban militants say they shot down U.S. drone - Yahoo! News

taliban should retrieve the wreckage , study it and make their own and fly it over Philadelphia.. period.
 
And with what exactly Taliban shot it down?
Those are just some coward bastards who the best thing they can do is killing civilians and take advantage of everything happening around them.US drones are not some pigeons whom can be be claimed to taken down with any militants without any advanced stuff.
 
Well, if the Taliban have enough technology to hack a plane and bring 2 skyscrapers down all the way across the Atlantic while sitting in Afghanistan, then I'm sure they have enough technology to shoot the drones down.
That wasn't the Taliban, it was the alcaeeda who did that, and there is nothing to be proud of in that.
 
Unbelievable they shot down world's advanced US drones. US Media will play sound and drum to blame Pakistan Army or anyone for giving MANPADS or something technology to power Talibans.

Now we have to make laugh at Pakistan Army which can't shot down drones, Talibans can!
:lol:

now you believe taliban? Pathetic

Don't you guys have a dozen already from all the crashes?

In any case I believe it was the Iranians who force it to crash. Its the only reason.

Drone crashes haven't been that numerous..

If they can get a couple of American made Humvees then they have the capability to force down the drone.

Technology?! That's some wild story you got. The planes that hit the twin towers were hijacked. Anyone 12 years ago could do that with the lax airport security and easy transportation rules. If you're the pilot and you have an AK sticking near your temple, I think that would make you fly your aircraft even straight into a military base, let alone into a building.

What's that got to do with shooting a drone?

I don't think they really need to retrieve wreckage and reverse engineer it as Russians are extremely advanced in aeronautics. They lagged in electronics a bit but that's the reason why they got drones from Israel after 2008. How difficult is it for a country to study and develop one on their own.

This is what they're building, a stealth drone. All they need is to refine their electronics a bit and they'd be good to go. But other parties you mentioned definitely could find the drone useful.

Well, you see, if the Taliban really don't possess such technology, then why was Afghanistan invaded in the first place? OBL?
If the Taliban really don't possess such technology, then I fail to see how they would have been a threat for the world.
And al-Qaeda don't (mainly) operate from Afghanistan

Basically, what I'm getting at is, this whole war was started because uncle sam got a little to emotional back in 2001. It's a fucked up war with no real aim or goal, just to cause mayhem (or ulterior motives?).
 
Begharat PA is not doing it, but the Taliban are. WOW..

You are forgetting something.....its not PA or PAF......its your govt...to whom you choosed after giving them vote they are not ordering them to drop the drones, PAF cheif said many times on media he can shot down drones if the political leadership allowed him.

Don't know the inward reasons but outwardly OBL and Taliban were related via OBL's BIL ties to Mulla Omar. Taliban refused to surrender him to US and this caused the war. Now this is the external reason. I don't see what else can be a gain for US apart from revenge from this war, especially when Chinese and Indian companies are taking big contracts for resources in Afghanistan these days.

Radical ideologies don't really need "technology". With the kind of sick regime they had in Afghanistan, it was best that they were taken out. Don't give me the no drugs nonsense because they never allowed it there but didn't stop that from being sent across the world for money and financing their lunacy.

To you they may be big heros but not to the common Afghan. And really, they supported the terrorists who hijacked our Indian Airlines flight back in Qandahar. I think that's more than enough for me to say that the invasion was just fine.

And al-Qaeda don't (mainly) operate from Afghanistan

How do you know this contradictory statement? Have you scanned every meter of Afghanistan? I don't think so. A lawless country, no infrastructure and no external presence is the perfect environment for any radical or terrorist organization like AQ to operate from. Somalia is the other well known lawless governmentless hub for AQ.

Calm down. You'd have done the same if you were a superpower and got attacked.

US has been pretty tolerant for the hot-headedness it showed in 70s and 80s you know....Just be thankful it was not the Soviet Union where 9/11 happened. If this had happened in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) rather than New York, there would have been no Afghanistan or any country that USSR felt aided jihad.

thats a fart
because USSR already "felt" the jihad very well and was forced to leave Afghanistan eventually. it knew who was aiding the Afghans. it did try its luck with terrorism and border incursions but eventually fell on its face.

talking hypothetically about what USSR coulda woulda soulda have done is pointless. Soviet leadership farted back in the days when American U2 plane was shot down that flew from Badaber Pakistan. then khrushchev farted saying that it will Nuke Pakistan for that but what followed was that the same military power it was so proud of was forced to beg on the streets and its personal even had to sell blood to feed the family.
