[joshh]

In the mean time, we're going to continue spying on them.

Need to bunker bomb that facility before Iran sells off that tech to the Chinese and North Koreans.

I wish I had a US spy drone on the persian rug in my room

It is incredibly frustrating that we're spending over $700 billion a year to have the best weapsons systems in the world only to give them away to other countries for free. This drone in a Iran and the helicopter in Pakistan are inexcusable failures by our intelligence leaders.

Occasionally you are going to loose equipment while using it, they should make a better effort of destroying equipment when it must be left behind.

Drones are tough one though, is the juice worth the squeeze when you go in to get it after the fact.

IMO drones over hostile areas should be cheap, low-tech and disposable so not a single fuck would be given when one landed in dinnerjackets back yard.

Problem is the stealth ones are necessary when flying over an enemies territory. They'd hear a snowmobile engine powered one coming from miles away if they went the cheap route.

Who ever designed those banners is one tacky motherfucker.

I'm sure the drone has some sort of software self destruct mechanism

[Fusion]

I could probably program a "no call from home" self-destruct script in html/jquery.
How the hell is it possible that the worlds most secret spy device doesn't have one?

Oh and that riveted plate is a worse job than some fender flares I've seen.

Maybe its not the most secret spy device in the world. Maybe it was designed with possible capture in mind ;)

In the wake of the latest downed U.S. drone, Iran is gleefully mocking Barack Obama, chiding that the president “begs to give him back his toy plane.”

“Obama is hoping that the Iranian government is in a Christmas mood because he has asked Tehran to send him his Christmas present. Iran mocks Obama who ‘begged’ for [his] Drone back,” goaded Fars News Agency on Tuesday.

“We have asked for it back. We’ll see how the Iranians respond,” Obama said following a White House meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

Israel National News adds:

Iran said last week it downed an advanced RQ-70 drone. The Obama administration initially denied the report, but later admitted it had lost a drone.

“Given Iran’s behavior to date, we do not expect them to comply,” U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said. President Obama reportedly turned down proposals to try to bomb the drone or retrieve it, fearing such an act would be considered an “act of war.”

“This is not only an intelligence victory for us, but a defeat for our enemies,” said a senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps.

The RQ-170 has special coatings and a batwing shape designed to help it stay undetected by radar.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast lambasted Obama, saying that ”it seems that he has forgotten that Iran’s air space has been violated, espionage operations have been carried out, international laws have been violated and Iran’s internal affairs have been interfered with.”

Wasup with that right wing? It just looks duct taped on. Also not saying that its fake but, that shell wouldnt be hard to make from fiberglass at all. Put a few moving inserts like the thing he pulls on in the video and boast your military prowess.

Please give us back our lost toy airplane, aren't we sitting with egg on our face. Not a smart move.

[tjts1]

I hope Iran doesn't get too lonely. Theres a new Reaper drone heading over to Astan and this one armed.

That thing is like a semi scaled back Global Hawk. One of my coworkers crashed a Global Hawk over Pakistan a few years ago.

He also had a segment on wings about his mission to bomb their reactor.
