Well like you I'm not particularly familiar with exactly what tech it employs, the Iranians will be though.
Having said that this plane has strikingly similar appearance to a B2 which is one of the most advanced aircraft in the entire world with maybe the exception of the F-22.

Reason: spelling
We shouldn't be flying drones over countries we aren't at war with, now should we?
I guarantee you, all of these drones are now being outfitted with a self destruct mechanism.
Added weight, added fuel or reduced flying time, added complexity, added risk of it going off at the wrong time. For what purpose? They are drones, they are expendable. These things aren't carrying around the equivalent of the plans of the Manhattan Project.

Old War Nut Cheney and equally brain dead daughter, are calling for us to go to War over the toy plane. How did Bush listen to this guy? How could most all Repubs and too many Dems listen to this guy?

It also resembles the flying wings of decades ago, so what's your point? A resemblance to the B2 doesn't make it a B2.
Hoboken is the embarrasment. I'm glad you haters are getting some major push-back. I'm feeling a whole lot better about C-D in that it isn't just a bunch of RW types in a circle jerk all day long. Yay!!! Wish I could rep all the right (left) thinking peeps with the motivation to keep the truth in play. I'm going to sleep well tonight

I say give the Dick a weapon, a coupla full clips, point him towards Tehran and wish him well. He certainly seems in love with the idea of needless war, it's about tome he gets a taste of it.
Obama should declare war if that drone is not returned within 24 hours.
Drones were invented to avoid the risk of losing personnel. And you think we'd turn around and send soldiers and aviators to their death to "rescue" an RC plane?
