Iran - A Nightmare Becomes Reality

[Irish]

Iran recovered a downed U.S. RQ-170 drone back in December, 2011. The latest news reports have stated that Iran was successful in reverse engineering the drone. If reports are to be believed than they've also been successful in arming the drone with bombing capabilities.

Today, Fars News Agency reported that while Iran’s duplicate of the US RQ-170 Sentinel drone was smaller, it also had a “bombing capability to attack the US warships in any possible battle.” The story in Persian was headlined: “America’s nightmare has become reality.” State television showed footage on Sunday it said was of a US aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf filmed by an Iranian drone.

The drone replica was unveiled at an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) exhibition on Sunday, where Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was briefed on how the drone, its systems, and structure had been reverse-engineered. He called it a “sweet day.”

Why doesn't this fukktard, Hussein just GIVE Iran Nukes. He can ONLY intentionally be setting the US up for a major attack by these musloid lunatic nations. There's no other logical explanation for how retarded he's dealt with these psychos.

The Iranians have also built a Nimitz Class mockup recently, which a Pentagon spokesman says leaves them "unconcerned".

Well, personally I would like to see a flight demonstration before I believe anything they have to say. Plenty of pictures on the internet anyone half decent with fiberglass could mock up in a few weeks. Still it's concerning.

I'd be more worried about the Tomcats they have in inventory.

The Tomcats are mostly deadlined now, plus they never got the top shelf AIM-54's or avionics that we had back in the 70's.

Agree, I'm finding it difficult to absorb anything he posts. I'm currently pricing the likes of which for the wife. The gift that keeps on giving.

Oh and sucks about the drone...good thing is those knuckleheads will crash it while trying to skywatch sheep sex for jollies.

I'm thinking they probably got a bit of help from either the Russians, or the Chinese, if in fact it's an operable drone.
