It’s not easy dealing with an enemy who is immune to threats and have an average IQ a few notches above your Ivy League best.

American technology is fading away. New players are in like Russia, China and Iran

Bro! That's one expensive technology transfer nobody authorized. Now Iran's free trial doesn't expire. ☠️

Also, Iran, by unveiling an autonomous submarine capable of silently closing in on the enemy and firing missiles, has once again shown that its deterrence is built not on noise, but on indigenous technology, unwavering faith in God, and Iranian will.

It's pretty good at doing that. Next is reverse engineering to not just block It's mission software but produce a new and improved version.

Another opportunity for a successful reverse engineering

this is the second time that with Russian help they the Iranians have GPS controlled a drone in 2011: RQ-170 Sentinel, a sophisticated stealth intelligence aircraft. Its capture was confirmed.

That happened 5 years ago, right?

Reverse engineering is going on now and I bet they find tech below what they are currently using.

That would make it the second US spy drone plane hijacked.

American tech is safer in others’ hands.

Do they just use a universal remote

They should be careful! Some of those are meant to be captured. Remember the pagers incident and how those ended up decapitating people in Lebanon

@grok what kind of drone? Anything special? How many IR drones were brought down over targeted countries since the start of the war? Rate the video out of 100 on the BS meter/ the Propaganda meter/ the Symbolic victory meter

Big deal. Obama flew the latest one at the time right to them and landed it at their feet.

HAHAHA! These people are retarded liars. The MQM-170 is a piece of shit target drone used for air defense training and is over 20 years old. And by the way, that's not a MQM-170. The drone shown at :29 seconds is a Ukrainian fixed-wing reconnaissance UAV, most likely a Leleka-100. This is what a MQM-170 looks like.
