U.S. officials, who have asked for the return of the unmanned craft, will instead get a $4 replica.
Iran says it will send the U.S. government a toy model of the CIA drone the Islamic Republic captured last month. The announcement, made via state media, comes in response to the White House's request for the return of the unmanned aircraft.
The U.S. drone, a RQ-170 Sentinel dubbed "the Beast of Kandahar," is one of the most technologically advanced surveillance crafts in the world. The toy model, the Associated Press reports, will be one-eighteenth the size and retail for the equivalent of $4 in Iranian toy stores.
There's still no conclusive explanation for how the drone got into Iranian hands in the first place. As the Slatest has previously noted, the U.S. and Iran have offered conflicting versions of pretty much every detail of the story. Iran claims to have noticed the drone in their airspace and then hacked it down electronically. The U.S. says it malfunctioned, but they're not exactly sure how.
Man I hate non-secular state but this is something that will be in history books and propably will be tought at foreign relations lessons for decades to come.
