China and Russia could reverse engineer this, but that takes years.

Amazing what you can do with a little duct tape, cardboard and paint.

We should have bombed it during the press conference with one of our drones, that would have been funny.

All this talk about drones is just so much hot air. Anybody who has ever flown RC aircraft can build a drone. Add size and weight carrying ability, some cameras or other cargo plus some encryption circuitry for control and you have a drone. So what if they cloned it or whatever? Most autobody shops can do that......................

This might be more of a problem:

In either case, not a good day.

First this; State television showed footage on Sunday it said was of a US aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf filmed by an Iranian drone

Then this:The stealth replica would “soon take a test flight,” an IRGC officer said on Sunday

Okay, which is it? Seems if it hasn't had a test flight, it couldn't have already filmed anything. Islamaidiots

Not to fear. Drone signals can be jammed. But yeah, Obama lives up to his ‘Zero’ moniker.

I don’t know when it will happen, but I know it will. Someday Israel and the US will regret not having dealt with Iran when they should have.

Hey Iran ? fear what maybe " operational " in the US arsenal, but fear all the more what has not been revealed to the public and world , ..... yet.

A man who I knew who worked with technology who is now deceased once told me, that the technology that we see today ? was developed 10 15 20 years before the world or public see's the light of it.
