I am telling you exactly what the Iranians have said from the beginning.
There. You are NOT an "insider."
And I am telling you that
American drones have malfunctioned and subsequently crash-landed in Iraq and Afghanistan at times. I have posted images of several American drones which malfunctioned and subsequently
crash-landed in Iraq and Afghanistan on different occasions.
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
"Temporary loss of satellite connection is common and the drone will orbit on a preplanned route until connection is re-established. If the connection is never re-established then the aircraft will eventually run out of fuel and crash. This can happen if the the encryption keys are invalidated during rollover and were not properly loaded (among other possibilities). Prior to fuel exhaustion, standard procedure is to perform classified data erase, followed by software data erase. A recovery team is supposed to follow up and secure it or blow it up.
In this case it appears the recovery team couldn’t find it." - American insider (anonymous) to The Aviationist

Unless you think that the Taliban and/or Iraqi rebels are expect hackers as well...
So what is different in the case of RQ-170 related incident in Iran? Do you think that RQ-170 drones are
failure-proof? Can you
REFUTE the assertion that the RQ-170 variant in question [possibly]
crash-landed in Iran after a malfunction?
YOU CANNOT REFUTE my assertion unless you were personally involved in supposedly hijacking and subsequently landing the RQ-170 drone safely to the ground, and can provide irrefutable proof to dispel my assertion with relevant footage. Since
you are hellbent on parroting Iranian state-driven narrative of this incident
then surprise me. Go ahead.
Next you'll be asking us to show videos of the inside of the rq-170 just to prove it was actually an RQ-170.
I do not ask silly questions because it is 100% clear from available evidence that Iran got its hands on an RQ-170 variant. However, a large number of [technically-sound] people have
disputed as to
HOW Iran got its hands on it.
For example:

For people like you, no amount of evidence is enough because you're pretending to be asleep.
You mistook me for an average deluded Iranian perhaps, but I am not. I will happily concede an erroneous assertion on my end in the face of concrete evidence in case you manage to bring it.
I am an independent observer here, and I have no reason to be biased in my judgement therefore. To me, Iranian accounts are not written in stone or necessarily truthful. You expect me to question American accounts but take Iranian accounts at face value? Why? I can do my homework, thank you.
