So much for boasting.

Iran isnt part of the Arab world, because Iran is not an Arab nation....

i know... but 90% of people there are muslims

Lagos_Boi:

it is you that needs to go online and learn how drone works, it is capable of spying on iran from that distance.

Don't let me question your intelligence. How does the working of a drone relate to this aggression. Was it in iranian airspace?

Flying from California to Hawai takes over 5 hours and yet there iis no international airspace there.

From Eastern Kuwait to Iran is less than 30 minutes and USA designated it 'international airspace'.

Silly bullying.
What are they doing in Persian gulf?
Why not try that in St Petersburg or Beijing

You are very daft to think like this.

igbo2011: Iran can defend itself somewhat. What would Nigeria do in this situation? Could they defend theirself against America?

you are going too far!! say we piss south africa off.. Have you seen their airforce ?

Not that the iranians couldn't bring it down. The drone was not in their airspace. Guess they were telling US intelligence " big brother is watching you".

cos they only wana bully the weakest . soon.. when Iran goes on nuke mode, they'll back off

acidtalk:

You are a DISGRACE to those who paid you way through school. In this case when did America start being in the Gulf region that their drones are patrolling the air space?

Drop sentiments aside and reason like a human being.

i will reply u in a more mature way even though u are a kid and what we are discussing here myt seems a alien to u

...d question is, was american drone one iran soil? iran has being aggressive .. american drone was conducting routine surveillance in international waters over the Arabian Gulf so what exactly did iran want? why woulda shot american drone when its not spying on them?

Area_boy:

F-16's are old

F-22 Raptor BABEH!!!

But they will have to deal with mig 35's and Sukhoi 35

The same raptor that has oxygen problems, no?

The US Air Force still use F-16s for most of its air combat and Su-25 can hold its own against them...

So, they're not that old to be honest...

Iran finish the US.... i hate US.

Abeg How we go take do this BOKO HARAM PEOPLE NA THAT ONE DEY WORRY ME PASS FOR NOW. IRAN GO HEAR AM WHEN TIME REACH AND AMERICA SEF NO GO GET REST...

NO WINNER FOR THIS MATTER.

both of them ar players,,dey knw d game....rmba d drone was on a routine surveillance...wat is america observing in dat particular area,,,did dey plant corns deir ?? ..dats anoda man's territory for Gadsake .....u de go person premises hold camera,,,wetin u wan go do dere if no b to go spy,,,dis is commonsensical...u just av to reason it .

Area_boy:

not quite! All it has going for it is stealth. The Russians see stealth as a waste of time cos you can never really be "invincible". American should have learnt their lesson when their prized F1-17 was shot down over Bosnia!!! Ooops... what embarrassment. The supposedly "invincible" aircraft shot down by an inferior army? lol.

i'll put my money on that MIG 35

keep in mind the MIG is at least 3 years newer than the
raptor

Plus the raptor has a combat radius of 510 nautical miles (at super cruise speed) while the mig has 620nm combat radius (at normal cruise) , would be fun to watch

Yeah you may be right! Also i think the US army who are the only operators of that fighter have cut down production as well.

but what of maneuverability and speed? I strongly believe the raptor is still somehow superior to the MIG. If not why are the US so reluctant to sell them, I still believe there are some capabilities of the raptor they want to keep secret.

Besides you know the russians can't compete with the US when it comes to precision engineering and complexity, so they go for size. The US can target just one house in a region with deadly precision and destroy it without unnecessary casualty while the russians will just blow up everything. Just look at their hydrogen bomb "Tsar Bomber"

Iran could have easily taken down the drone by firing AAM's (Air-to-Air Missiles) at the drone. What they fired were warning shots to make Uncle Sam's little spy plane back off.

Remember some months ago, Iran took down an American drone by shutting it down through the use of cyber-warfare technology. That drone was put on display for days before being taken by their scientists for research (possibly reverse engineering).

E be like say Iran get some 'teeth' afterall.

Correction, international airspace is a no man's land and this is why the US is irked. Remember Iran shot down an American drone and nothing happened cos it was in their airspace.

all4naija: All of you haters I wonder what your families are doing in USA. Why are you not in Iran if you like Iran so much?

What's US doing in that gulf? What would you say if US also tried to bring down Iranian drone close to Florida? What's so special about US? Do they have blue blood? Guy, leave matter.

On the home front, while iran and usa are flexing muscle over dis drone issue,
2 expensive Nigerian drones, we were made to know, are indoors somewhere in Benin surveiling rats and cockroaches.

World and hypocrisy, so USA have right to own nuclear weapons, Israel has nuclear weapons but Iran can not ? This coming war, we should not underrate anyone, revolution was not expected but it happened, American needs to thread carefully,,,Israel has no right to control the whitehouse.

Lol. My brother, no be small rat ohh. Na those big ones. Na we dey use corruption fall our own hands

Prof Corruption:

US is in the Gulf for security purposes. If not for USA Kuwait would have be overrun by Saddam army and terrorized the people. If not for USA in the gulf Iran(with the help of Russia) would have be arming some rogue states in the Middle East to prey on their neighbors. If not for the US in the Gulf Russia Nuclear weapon proliferation would have been out of control. If not for US in Middle East most countries security would be compromised, the small countries like Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, UAE,etc by the bullies like Iran, Syria,etc.

Please, I am not going to leave the matter.

erniok: I bet it won't hurt us ro take our time to read the whole post, digest it before commenting. The drone was in the international airspace, east of kuwait (america,s ally) and not in iran so the aggression was uncalled for (could also be the reason they didn't shoot it down). Iran is beating the war drum, hope they can stand the heat.

NOT ONLY CAN THEY STAND THE HEAT, THEY WILL WIN THE WAR. THEY HAVE A MEETING WITH DESTINY. LET THE WEAK SAY I AM STRONG ( THE BOOK OF JOEL )

You should ask yourself if Germany and Japan have the rights to own Nuclear weapons? You are so ignorant about Nuclear weapons and you think it is child's play and must be acquired by any nation. Please, go and sleep in your hole!

I understand your argument but the drone was on "routine maritime surveillance" and you cannot prove it was taking pictures of Iran however its capability.

So you think germany doesn't have nuclear weapons? Well many people believe that since they gave up many defense rights after WW2 but believe me, Germany has nuclear weapons but it's a secret. You think Germany will sit down while the likes of UK, France all have nukes?

Japan doesn't need nuclear weapons as they have a treaty with the US that mandates the US to come to it's aid should the need arise so technically a war on Japan is a war on the US. Still Japan might secretely possess nukes.

Don't underestimate nations, you don't really know their capabilities until there is war, then you see them rolling out weapons people didn't know they had.
