Iran fires on US drone
 
Apparently they missed :) . Still, not very nice of them. Drone was in International airspace.



Iran has fired at a U.S. drone, the Pentagon confirmed Thursday.

The incident occurred Nov. 1 at 4:50 a.m. ET, Pentagon spokesman George Little said.

He said the unarmed, unmanned drone was conducting "routine surveillance" when it was "intercepted" by Iran. He said the drone was not in Iranian airspace.

Obama should apologize to them. Maybe give them a few nukes to make up for their troubles.

The Iranians kept it. Even though the United States asked if they could have it back, pretty please style.

I hear that drone they got last year ended up in China. Now we can buy them from China as they have the technology.

Yep, you can drill through glass to get to the oil. I wouldn't mind smoking a bunch of camels along with them either. The world has enough towel dispensers.

Probably see a nuclear Iran over the next 4 years. Then Obozo will apologize to them for not having helped them get the bomb faster.

Not if Israel has anything to do about it. They won't let Iran have a nuke, no matter WHAT Obama says, thinks or does. Two words, Go Israel!

This would be the worst thing since the Cuban Missle Crisis in 1962.

If someone pops off a nuke we'll see who has them besides the countries we know about, where all the missing USSR nukes are PLUS a whole lot more about friends/enemys and the real story of worldwide fallout and all that jazz.

Hopefully cooler heads will prevail....not people who want to die and kill infidels for Allah. :(

Israel has every reason now to feel alone, since Dear Leader "won" re-election. Wars are often begun by frightened men.

If Israel hits Iran dear leader will not back them at all. He stated in his book that he will stand with the muzzies.

Probably wouldn't be too hard to hang a couple air to air missiles on one. SURPRISE! :D

"fire finder" counter radar is known technology. Set the drones up with a system that fires back down the track of anything incoming.


Nothing says "I know what you just did and I don't like it" like a Hellfire
seen nose on.

if nothing else.. pinpoint the source.. xmit the data to a missle frigate nearby and send them a care package.. ;)

looking at that chart.. 300 weatherby mag seems a goot fit as well as that 243,

This is the comical part of it.

Quote:

According to Little, two Iranian jets fired twice, missing on both attempts -- the drone headed away from the Iranian coast, landing safely soon after at an undisclosed location. The Iranian jets pursued the drone for a short period before giving up.
Really? How fast and manuverable are drones? Jets fire twice on it and can't hit it? :lmao2:

Re: Iran fires on US drone
