Iranian drone forces US jet to take evasive action

[raptor22]

from his perspective there is no more difference between our military power ....

and I should admit he is logical ... even if we compare Iran military power at current time to Saddam military power at 1991 , then I can say in paper Saddam army where a shoulder and head taller than our current Army ....

Iraq had modern tanks , modern Army , modern air force , modern Anti air defense systems and ...

he is an ex-solders and he love his country just like us ... if I was in his place , I would go to street and insult our politicians and army Generals for letting " my country army" to be taunt by much weaker nation ...

Saddam at his best was representing 20% of Iraqi people , majority of Iraqis didn't support him ... I don't care about military power not 'cause it's not important mostly 'cause it would be 3rd or forth factor in a war ... the rest is who and how you use your weapons ... and Iran and Iraq are not comparable ... population, area, geography , accessing to seas and ... Iraqi is mostly desert and plain while Iran is mostly mountainous ... Saddam was brought to the power by external powers and armed with external powers too and fought for their cause that's why they didn't topple him back in 1991 and let him to hover his choppers to crackdown Shia and Kurds uprising .. that's why when he was arrested in a rat hole at the end of 2003 he introduced himself as the president of Iraq 'cause he was thinking that American would keep him in power again.. he didn't resist ...

Well if the drone accidentally come between the f18 and the carrier its bad timing but if the drone on purpose come between them then it means they were aware of the presence of f-18 and I didn't knew we had drones that are 360 degree aware of their surrounding i always taught our drones don't have RADAR and their cameras look down but the news suggest that now we have a drone that give the operator 360 degree view of its surrounding otherwise the maneuver was impossible

well , we can send our drone to international air space ....

The drone ignored repeated radio calls, the US officials said, describing the interaction as "unsafe and unprofessional," according to Reuters.

Don't tell me that USN didn't shot the drone down....
Did I miss something?

Yes, you missed something:
They were lucky our drone wasn't armed.

They are trapped in the Persian Gulf and they know it better than anybody else:

Very funny

 

[OldTwilight]

@gambit as far as I researched , there is no international law that allow you to shoot down another country plane in international sky .... and there is no law that say American naval force can declare international air space as their exclusive zone ...
so , in this regard , your claim about UN law was false ....

if you shoot it down , then we can use same excuse and shoot your drone down ....

Iranian drone flies too close to U.S. forces for second time in a week

 

[Globenim]

Obviously none of the U.S. articles show a closeup map showing how their ships are loitering around Irans costal line and moving unprofessionally close towards Iranian vessels and drones not the reverse.

IRGC: drone patrols in Persian Gulf will continue despite US psychological operations.

Our air patrol missions in the country's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) are continuous and daily and in accordance with current regulations.

This statement rejected the American's accusations of unsafe flights and added that IRGC's UAVs are equipped with standard navigation systems, and operated carefully and professionally, and the claims of Americans is either due to the weakness of their identification and reconnaissance systems or it's just an attempt to disperse their own responsibilities.

IRGC drone patrols in their mission areas will continue with precision and routinely to safeguard the borders of the Islamic Republic of Iran without taking heed to the psychological warfare operations of foreign forces present in the Persian Gulf.

Iran can return to pre-JCPOA state in hours : Rouhani .

why does Rouhani say that ?? with in hours ?? is it possible to get back Iran stockpile of enriched Uranium, the same quantity with in hours and days less than week ?? can he get back all 20% enriched uranium back in hours ??

three possibilities
first: Rouhani bluffing and he is just simply lying
Second : Rouhani the president of Iran gone crazy and delusional
3rd: He knows some thing you dont know




Iran Rouhani: if U.S. imposes new sanctions we will return to pre-JCPOA state روحانی: بازگشت به قبل

Well, is Iran in a better position now then it was pre-jcpoa?

Also can Iran in your honest opinion back up their claims?

It is more than obvious that the US doesn't want any part in the deal AT ALL. And is enticing Iran to renegade on it. Hopefully there are undeclared secret nuclear sites that are producing nuclear material as we speak and this is Iran''s real "trump" card so to speak (and I hope this is the case).

Yavar what are your thoughts without giving away too much info?

An Aircraft carrier, any navy ship, is considered sovereign soil.

Had the drone caused harm to the AC or F/A-18 it would have been an act of war.

USN's ACs are capital ships, holding 6,000 sailors and represents the power of the US. It's not a fast boat with 7 sailors.

If the Drone put itself between the decent of the F-18 and AC, this isn't chest thumping but a very grave operation. Trump will walk his talk with Iran.

Is space around the ship considered sovereign soil?
