1. The MIGHTY Iranian AF chased away a Seagull
JEWISH LAWYER ,   NYC, USA   (11.10.12)
terrific work shmeggeggis! Those seagulls can be real aggressive when P.O.'d Those Iranian antique planes are faring well being out side of their museums. Do they fly at night? or in the rain? Israeli and USA missiles fly at night, in the dark and rain...not the Iran-ters ?
2. Shooed Away?
(11.10.12)
You shoo away a fly ? Engaging A UAV in International waters is Nothing But Balagerant Aggression, Like Some Years Back a group of brit sailors Were Disembarked Off Their Own Vessel in International Waters, and kept captive, and held against there will! Come to think of it, These Aggresive Balagerant actions Were Perpatrated By The MONSTERS in tehran! Just today Aggressive Balagerant Actions Perpatrated Against afghani's, they had missiles fired into territory from across a border of a neighboring country? Is That Technically A Declaration Of War?

if you can't hit a drone with an SU, something is wrong with you. So either the pilot was useless or Iran are telling the truth on this one.

Profession altogether.Who qualified you as a lawyer?:)
5. I WONDER MORE...............................#3

About the rhetoric emanating from Israel for the last six years.No one dares to do anything except ask uncles Sam to intervene.However, the truth of the matter is that the Iranian pilots never aimed at the drone to start with.They simply fired few shots towards it to ensure it moves away.And it did,of course.

Joe ,   US   (11.10.12)
Even an amateur pilot is able to hit a drone using a su-25.Iranians didn't hit it because the drone was in "international airspace".But that was a very strong message to the U.S and Israel
7. The proper term is
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.10.12)
Act of WAR. Shooing involves escorting, not shooting. I noticed that the US government kept that information hidden until after the elections
8. Beligerent aggression? Monsters?
(11.10.12)
July 3, 1988 Iran Air Flight 655, regular scheduled commercial flight, shot down over international waters as it descended to land. 290 dead civilians, 66 were children. The perpetrator: the most advanced naval vessel in the world.
9. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Isrel   (11.11.12)
The pilot did not identify himself after being requested six times to do so. That's why the United States shot it down. The U.S. also paid reparations. By the way, "belligerent (note proper spelling) aggression" is redundant.
10. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.11.12)
For once, I agree with you. I do believe that most lawyers know how to spell "outside."
