Iran shows film of captured US drone

Your country operates the GPS - the first of its kind in the world :azn: so the operator didn't think nothing , because he wasn't in a position to do so ... How it could be ? When the beast of Kandahar was hacked ...

If GPS positions are directly fed to the aircraft. The Iranians said they shot it down. Recently an Indian Helicopter landed in Pakistan inspite of having a handheld GPS. These things happen in war.
 
Wow! This is incredibly embarrassing for the the US gov!

Actually last time I checked Iranian newspapers claimed that Iran had 'downed' it. The thing that Iranians have 'downed' it has ambiguity, it doesn't say how they have downed it, but later all Iranian officials claimed that the electronic warfare unit of the IRGC with cooperation with the Iranian army had hacked into it and commanded it to land.
 
I think in general this is going to be very big news and a major shock to Western fanboys worldwide, especially considering that it was brought down using EW!

There is big difference between downing and landing it. I am happy to agree its a great windfall for the Iranians, Russian or Chinese, but for me to be naive enough to believe, that without any comprehensive actual operator training, to land such a piece of equipment perfectly is impossible. I think you are not aware of how much training goes into just learning how to operate one and land normally in peacetime.
 
Turns out, western tech isn't as advanced as it is rumored to be. Now what do those western fan boys say about America?.... Yeah !! America is years ahead of her adversaries :cheesy:....... I guess Iranians had help from Martians then.

I do agree with you, but it has landed on sand and gravel in a desert close to Kashmar I suppose, we don't know how much it has sustained damages at time of landing because we have no view of the floor of the drone.
It is naive for you to believe that such a piece of equipment has landed without any actual operator training, but it is also naive to believe that this has been done only because the Iranians were lucky.
 
I think both Iran and US lied. Iran said they shot it down. It is obvious that the operator landed it. The only reason could be that, it was too valuable to loose and he thought he may have been landing it nearer to Afg than in Iran. As regards the US option of recovering it. These plans must have been made decades ago as no one plans an ops without fall back plans. End of the day Obama decided it was not worth another war when US logistics in Pakistan are virtually nil. It is a big loss for the US and windfall for the Iranians.
there is one major thing wrong with your arguement. This drone doesn't have an operator. It flies by itself.
 
This is what you get when you toss your miliatry equipment around left, right, and centre....it gets into the wrong hands, gets reverse engineered, and gets used against you....Just like those North korean wha-sung missiles, made from American missile captured in Vietnam.
 
Who said anything about drugs ? :what: Denial mode is something else ... Go look up the meaning and compare it with your present thinking ... I hope you will understand :lol:

Or else tell me why are all Americans and Iranians lying that too at the same time ? :azn:



An american drone did get down- probably of technical reasons-
A downed drone does't look like this-

Another assumption that is was forced to land- Thats just ridiculous-

if america was catching some alien technology being assessed in area 51, then they might be winning the afghan war

tchnologically superior:YES
can guarentee victory over less technological adversory:NO
