Iran Captures Intruding US Drone Over Persian Gulf Waters by Olarajee(m): 11:13am On Dec 04, 2012 |
Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has captured a US ScanEagle drone over the Persian Gulf waters upon its intrusion into the Iranian airspace. IRGC Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi made the announcement on Tuesday, addingthat the Iranian armed forces enjoy full intelligence command over foreign movements in the Persian Gulf region. Referring to the captured ScanEagle drone, the Iranian commander pointed out, “Such drones are usually launched from large aircraft carriers.” The ScanEagle drone, which has a 10ft (3m) wingspan, is a long-endurance aircraft built by Insitu, a subsidiary of Boeing. Iran has released footage of the captured drone. Commander Fadavi further said that the IRGC Navy is fully monitoring all the movements of the foreign forces in the Persian Gulf and the strategic Strait of Hormuz to counter any potential threats against the country. Earlier in December 2011, the Iranian military also grounded a US RQ-170 Sentinel stealth aircraft while it was flying over the Iranian city of Kashmar, some 140 miles (225km) from the Afghan border. The US RQ-170 Sentinel stealth aircraft was downed with minimal damage by the Iranian Army's electronic warfare unit. The drone was one of America's most advanced spy aircraft. Last month, Iran repelled a US drone that hadentered the country’s airspace above the territorial waters of the Islamic Republic in the Persian Gulf. Brigadier General Amirali Hajizadeh, the commander of the Aerospace Division of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), said that the drone had been driven away by Iranian forces as it attempted to gather intelligence around Kharg Island in southern Iran. Hajizadeh also warned that the country’s armed forces would respond with stronger action if US drones attempted to violate Iran’s airspace again. http://presstv.com/detail/2012/12/04/276071/iran-captures-intruding-us-drone/ 7 Likes |

Abujafood: They captured it, did the drone surrender itself or they mean to say they shot it? No, The drone was reverse engineered in the air and controlled down. Drones are controlled on certain sattelite frequencies and some equipments can scan all frequency rangies, searching for an active channel. If communication discovered is alien, a smart reverse engineer can inject an auto pilot algorithm and quickly change the transmission channel allowing control from another source. Talk about cryptography. 25 Likes |

the us has denied claims of capture of its drone by the Iranians.the Iranians want to be force to reckon with militarily, especially in the Persian region.that's why they r bent on developing nuclear weapons,but the r far behind the Americans.they secretly supply hamas and Syria with weapons. they will soon get the war they r looking for. 5 Likes |
