So, it is an American flag with skulls.
You'd think they'd put such technology to better use by actually improving their economy? Oh wait they've probably faked it.
Sorry, our army answers to Iranians, not their US trainers. For us, professionalism is about getting the job done, not how long your beard is or whether or not the poster on the wall is insulting to some duchebag country. Look at saudi soldiers. They dress and act and walk as if they were American soldiers, but I would rather have a somali pirate watching my back than one of those.
See background, who is people on the wall billboard? These two guys discussed about the drones in the front of camera...
Again, I admire Iran and respect their country but their response is really childish honestly.
and enough of your denial mode !
What sort of hypocrisy is that ?I find it hilarious people are still debating the authenticity of these photos and footages.
When Iran first made the claims all the wahabis and Iran-haters were dimissing them, asking for footages and photos. Now not only did they receive the photos, but were also verified by dozens of security experts and US officials and yet they are still in denial.
The drone is a plastic model?? Seriously how stupid can you get??
At any rate, do you really believe Iran manufactured a model of one of the most advanced US drones in less than 48 hours after making the claims??
You can never satisfy some people, haters will always be haters. Props to iran, keep doing what you doing.
Semantics?
Am going to school you again, like I have in the past, about these things. Between the captain and the helmsman, who has authority and who has control?Got that? An authority figure is someone who gives orders and/or instructions. A controller is the person or unit that actually execute those orders/instructions.
can you stop your troll and stupid comments pls?
This popular misconception came from the entertainment industry. If this is true, given how far ahead we are in aviation compared to the rest of the world, may be we should have explosive self destruct devices in our F-16s and F-15s? What you are curious about is far more troublesome than it is worth. If there is a malfunction with this device, there is no second chance for recovery. That does not mean it is technically impossible. It is very possible and given the right conditions, we can quickly install such a device into ONE such drone for a very high risk and politically volatile situation.
I understand your feelings. I get the same chuckles when long ago I read the Chinese boys' fantastical claims about the J-20 and notions of what is 'stealth'.Got to love the stories the U.S. and its counterparts churn out sometimes.
This should confirm to you what I have been saying all along: That the popular media is the WORST place for credible technical information on these events. Before the Internet, if there is any newsworthy event that science and technology are prominent, the weatherman was the one normally assigned to research the necessary scientific and/or engineering subjects, and the poor man usually do not get the credit after the clueless reporter did his/her job.
the discussion is very interesting.
Rockets are in a different case because they are not as easily controlled as a winged aircraft. In a dangerous situation, you can throttle up/down to control speed and move the stick to exploit flight control surfaces to attempt to recover. There are far more recovered aircrafts than recovered out of control rockets, which is zero, if I remember correctly. So when a rocket is going out of control while its motor is still going full blast, self destruct is the ONLY option.
