How can you get back something that was caught without permission flying over a sovereign country's airspace?

They already know he leads from behind.

Iran does not need to build a stealth drone. They just need an example so they can figure out how to detect and defeat them.

And if he had done exactly as you say above, you would be here the next day starting a thread about how it was a horrible mistake.

You have zero credibility.

I think the leaked video depicting their capture of the RQ-170 really displays their superiority. That High-School Gym/Intelligence Agency with the tree stumps propping up the drone is quite a remarkable facility. Their "experts" in UAV's did a great job pointing and walking about the advanced facility. Hopefully one day the West can achieve the level of Scientific advancement seen in Iran.

I mean sheesh It looks like a parade float model of a Sentinel rather than the high-tech robotic surveillance aircraft itself. if it was real it would not be in a gym. Keep in mind, this is also the country that manipulated a missile launch image to hide the fact that one missile had failed to fire and that is suspected of welding 55-gallon drums together to look like S-300 launchers

The damn thing was hacked and the military knows this. How the encryption was able to be hacked is a mystery. I bet someone gave them the decrypt key.

Those secrets are decrypted by now. Someone gave the Iranians the decrypt keys, that's how they took control of it.

Why do all you obviously superior westerners think the Iranians could not figure out how to decrypt the codes themselves? They are not stupid and never have been.
