Default Iran says thank you for the drone

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/envoy/is...195224233.html

Quote:
While the IRNA headline described the U.S. spy drone as having been "shot down," an Iranian military official quoted on Iranian state television claimed that an Iranian military cyber-warfare unit "managed to take over controls of the drone and bring it down," the Washington Post's Thomas Erdbrink noted. That latter account would seem to be more in line with the description given by ISAF of the spy drone operators having "lost control" of it in western Afghanistan last week.

The more I read about these, the more I think our engineers are fucking retarded.

Apparently it's real easy to get the video feed. Basically all you need a is a laptop and $25 program to see everything we can see on the drones......

All the insurgents figured this shit out quick and watch what we are up to....

Hahaha - used to be a bomber wing stationed here - my dad worked on them when he was an AF aircraft mechanic... Like 35 years ago. The same ones are probably still in service

There's AF folks here who can probably confirm both that as well as how much safety wire is holding the wings on
