Iran has unveiled its own copy of an American stealth drone it captured in late 2011, claiming to have cracked the secrets of the bat-wing craft and added weapons capabilities.
Today, Fars News Agency reported that while Irans 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: Americas 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.
The stealth replica would soon take a test flight, an IRGC officer said on Sunday. Aerospace chief Amir Ali Hajijadeh said today that they are working on two more models of the replica drone.

It would be nice if we could have simple EMP weapons (bullets, shells, non-nuclear missiles) to counter drones.

We can’t save everyone, just some people who come around to figuring that they don’t have to embrace or follow the not so decent ways and repent. I agree, I grew up perhaps way later than you. Still, it gives some meaning to exactly what Jesus meant in parables when he frequently showed halves being left out and/or destroyed. Everything and everywhere, including America, is going to be decimated, and will be split between God and Mammon.

Even NON-PILOTS will catch a few design impossibilities, after 5 or so minutes of really looking. It's been upgraded as well.
This DRONE has a COCKPIT!
Achmed will just fit into it!

Of course, the pipe seen stiffening the outer skin just above the seat area, seems under designed. The fiberglass would probably flap and crack.

I'd like to thank the United States Government for protecting me and my kind.
You see, 40 years ago, my odds of making it out of the egg, alive, were very poor; about 80% of us died.
But a lady discovered our plight and wrote a book that addressed our problem,
What I find strange is that the same government passed a law the very next year that allowed for killing
of unborn, and apparently unwanted, humans. Little ones still nestled safely in their Mother's womb.
Around 25% of them are dying before birth - on average nearly 3,300 - every day of the year.
I hear that by now, somewhere around 55 MILLION of them have perished.
Wouldn't that kind of mess up the humans plans for growth, and welfare, and
retirement?
Strange birds; these Homo Sapiens. Perhaps they'll come to their senses
before they are ALL dead!
