1. The new norm for Iran...
watcher ,   Israel   (12.12.11)
...and just wait till it really gets going! long about TuB'Shavat (springtime) or maybe Purim (late springtime) then things in Iran will get hot and rockin! and all of us will be partying hearty at the downfall of this rotten regime they have over there!!!!
2. How perfectly dreadful!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.12.11)
Must have been a mishap in a computer application. Terrible. Although I do, however, find myself wondering about the applications for which the end products of this steel factory were designed. Tragic. Truly tragic. Such a mystery -- why do so many things in Iran keep going "KABOOM!?" Will it ever end? No. Probably not. At least not until WE decide to end it. Let's have a little more poisonous rhetoric from the mullahs and ayatollahs, now, shall we? Can't wait to read the spin on this -- er -- "unfurtunate accident." Gee, Iran sure is accident-prone!
3. LATEST NEWS:
Israeli 2   (12.12.11)
The so called "captured" drone was not captured. It flew in willingly to be "captured." It is transmitting sensitive information (pictures of the scientists and ayatollas and millitary men) back via sattelite directly into the White House. Iran be warned: You are under the scrutiny of Obama Care!
4. Stealth drones with steel from bathtubs
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (12.12.11)
5. pro-israeli idiots wish it was sabotage
Giorgos ,   Greece   (12.12.11)
6. At the end of the day ...
Iranian Cat   (12.12.11)
to declare that it was a Nuclear power technologies -> till then bring it on, Keyboardists
7. 4th of July year around in Iran!
Nation ,   Israel   (12.12.11)
Trouble making steel? Come on Iran the Western world as been doing it since the 1800s. Good luck reverse-engineering that drone.
8. American drone
Joe Charlaff ,   Jerusalem   (12.12.11)
If America has any sense it would install a self destruct device on all of its drones and the moment one falls into enemy hands it blows up
9. I wouldn't pry open that drone - KABOOM!
(12.12.11)
10. #5 "Pro-Israeli idiots"?
Tahl   (12.12.11)
I have two questions for you. 1. If you are so obsessed with Israel that you're actually reading and commenting in an Israeli site full of "pro-Israeli idiots", then what does that say about yourself? 2. Don't you have more pressing matters on hand to do, say, riot in the streets, or grovel to Germany to bail you out of bankruptcy?
11. u go Tahl! good answer to #5
(12.12.11)
12. Reverse Ingeneering
David M.   (12.12.11)
Aren't all those explosions in Iran a sort of reversed engineering in action already? Being engineered into the Stone Age.
13. #5 not much wishing involved
(12.12.11)
14. Clarification on spelling
Josh ,   Israel   (12.12.11)
When Iran says we will reverse engineer it. They mean "WE" will reverse engineer it. To make it more clear for those who still don't get it. WE = Russia, China, North Korea
15. so many accidents in Iran
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (12.12.11)
which means,allah,no like ayahtolas.
16. #5, once is an accident, twice is a coincidence...
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.12.11)
three plus means something is up and it is either sabotage or the effects of very bad cost cutting measures. Either way, helps us a lot.
17. the last bit of the article is interesting.
Dan ,   Tracy USA   (12.12.11)
reverse engineer huh? Ok so one would think a lot of the software in encrypted, hardware and exotic materials used would be hard to make. Mass produce a better version? For some reason I find this hard to believe. I don't think they have the satellites to control them and if the radio is ground based all you need to do is block it and down it goes. I agree with #8 they should have some device, which we don't know if they do, to erase or destroy sensitive materials. But we will see?
18. correction
daze ,   US   (12.12.11)
Sorry Tahl#10, my response was to giorgos#5
19. #5 Eurotrash peasant I Would Worry
(12.12.11)
about feeding your family and Paying your bills And Most Importantly LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS. The Heavy Lifting and Solving World Problems We'll Take Care OF!!! Go drink some uzo and eat your goat cheese.
20. @ #2 MAYBE THE DRONE WENT KABOOM?
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (12.12.11)
I would not be surprised. The drone was flown and landed to be found. Wouldn't that be a ironic? I don't wish death for anyone, but mullahs are different story.
21. To: Josh at No. 14
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.12.11)
Exactly! Iran couldn't reverse engineer a Lego toy. But your point raises an interesting question: why haven't the United States and the EU applied sanctions on Russia, China and -- to the extent there is any leverage -- North Korea?
22. #21 Sanctions on China?
(12.13.11)
If the US or the EU applied sanctions on China it would be suicide as China owns them.
