Iran military shoots down U.S. drone: state TV
Iran military shoots down U.S. drone: state TV | Reuters


Quote:
(Reuters) - Iran's military said on Sunday it had shot down a U.S. reconnaissance drone aircraft in eastern Iran, a military source told state television.

"Iran's military has downed an intruding RQ-170 American drone in eastern Iran," Iran's Arabic-language Al Alam state television network quoted the unnamed source as saying.

"The spy drone, which has been downed with little damage, was seized by the Iranian armed forces."

Iran shot down the drone at a time when it is trying to contain foreign reaction to the storming of the British embassy in Tehran on Tuesday, shortly after London announced that it would impose sanctions on Iran's central bank in connection with Iran's controversial nuclear enrichment program.

Britain evacuated its diplomatic staff from Iran and expelled Iranian diplomats in London in retaliation, and several other EU members recalled their ambassadors from Tehran.

The attack dragged Iran's relations with Europe to a long-time low.

Washington and EU countries have been discussing measures to restrict Iran's oil exports since the United Nations nuclear watchdog issued a report in November with what it said was evidence that Tehran had worked on designing an atom bomb.

Iran says its nuclear program is entirely peaceful.
Al Jazeera reports it as being taken down through cyberwarfare after Iran was able to take control of the plane.

We'll consider that to be an act of war. How dare them take one of our drones down. We're America after all.

At least they didn't shoot down one of your commercial airliners and then award a medal to the captain of the ship that did it.

Well it's about time someone did.

and this is totally different than shooting one down.

It's not like its the first time Iran's claimed to have shot down a US drone though.

eta: Didn't notice it was an RQ-170 they downed, that's a pretty big deal for the US if it is, considering it's only been "publicly" in use for less than a year.

Complete derailing of the thread... but, this reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend recently. He spent the night with a friend of my GF and felt kinda embarrassed afterwards about how drunk he was and some of the things he did. So he was telling me about the facebook messages they exchanged after the fact and I summed it up as:

'Hey brah, sorry about being all drunk brah', and she responds, 'Its cool brah'.

Yeah but we mistook it for a fighter plane. Easy to do, they look so much alike. We're America after all.

Whaaaa? I missed the memo on this one.

And shit isn't going to get real. Iran, USA, Israel are trolls. Iran being the least trollish, but still.
