Iran said on Tuesday it had captured a U.S. intelligence drone in its airspace over the Gulf in the last few days, but the U.S. military quickly denied having lost any unmanned aircraft in the Middle East. [more]
OF COURSE THEY WOULD DENY IT!!!!!!
Im sick of this country using these drones to kill innocent ppl in other countries,im really sick of all the evil they put on the world!!
On things like this, you really can't trust Iran, and you really can't trust the United States.
Hell it could be Israeli, remember, they have US supplied drones. It could be Iran is making it up. It could be that it is a US drone.
Who knows? I find it HIGHLY unlikely that Iran has the jamming capability to force loss of contact with a drone though because.....
A) drones are designed that when they lose contact to fly in a straight line, and if after a given amount of time to turn around and fly back to their point of origin, all GPS based which can't be jammed.
B) Even if they had the capability to jam it for over a small geographic area, we are talking an entire country and they don't have that much jamming equipment
and
C) There are mulitple redundancy fallback communication systems using encrypted frequency hop and other completely different communication devices that can't be jammed.
So, its highly unlikely what Iran is saying. Could be true, but its unlikely.
You can get used to the use of Drones for multiple puropses. They are a lot cheaper, more reliable, harder to shoot down then expensive aircraft used. If this is the case, they'll just start putting better self destruct devices on them.
