An Iranian military commander claimed Monday that the country has stolen all the secrets held by a high-tech American surveillance drone that crashed in Iran last year, according to Iranian news reports.

"All the intelligence in this drone has been completely decoded and extracted and we know each and every step it has taken," said Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, Commander of the Aerospace Division for the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard, according to an English-language report by Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency.

If a monkey finds a wrist watch and manages to tear it apart into all the tiny gears and springs, it doesn’t mean he can build another watch or put that one back together.

Now the Chinese or Russians, that’s another story.

Please. A. Either they did and are ridiculously stupid to brag about it, or B. They didn’t and are trying so hard to feel special and scary. I personally believe the latter.

Why don’t these things blow up when they’re captures or tampered with?

Or, we let Iran shoot it down to get its secrets. Problem is all the secrets of it are fake.

I personally believe the latter.

I do not think I would underestimate them any longer. They were able to bring the thing down for starters.

Who controls these drones - The State Department, the Air Force, the Army, the CIA? Who lost control of this drone? Why was it not recovered nor destroyed?

This story has cracks. The drone was a gift from Obama. No need to decode anything.

Its foolish to think Iran doesn’t have high level scientists and engineers.
The laws of physics applied in the US are also equally applied in Iran.

In another news story on this it mentioned that the iranians had released some of the data they were able to extract
proving they did extract it

I guess it is possible that as noather freeper in this thread suggested, any date in it was fake

if so WHY did the DOD plead with 0dumbo to destroy the Drone?
