BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.09.11)
Have you ever heard of B-52’s which can fly higher than Iranian Missiles? The can fly over Iran, dropping some heavy stuff, eliminating a good part of your crappy country, Mullah’s, Ahmadinejad and you for good measure I will explain it in one short sentence, Hiroshima & Nagasaki
36. It means nothing
Ted Stemrich ,   Grand rapids   (12.09.11)
When the time comes - They will never see what is hitting them .

BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.09.11)
Whoever said there would be enough time for Iran to make a deal, before the USA takes action ? MarkAva Hunter, you’re hunting didn’t prevent your Lebanon from incurring extensive damages in the last war, which turned half the country into rubble Just curious, do you enjoy your strolls through the cluster mines that we left as souvenirs

39. Iran holding the prize, gloating may actually backfire
Scott ,   Australia   (12.09.11)
Iran may have unwittingly increased the stakes here. Not in their favour. US fears are not that Iran will use the technology – rather they will pass the information on to Russia and China. It could be that the gloating is short-lived. It’s a major blow to the US and cannot be swept under the carpet. This will be a very interesting situation to watch and could spark some fascinating activities.

That's a B-29 Superfortress (my grandpa was a navigator on one), silly, but yeah a B-52 Stratofortress can also carry around 30.000 tons of bombs or about two MOABs if I remember correctly, which while not as powerful as a strategic nuke still looks pretty destructive in the videos. Google MOAB bomb for more. Regardless of how many the US actually has, it's doubtful one would want one dropped on Iran.
41. I have doubts about it
Expert ,   Toronto   (12.09.11)
Comparing some photos on the web. This "drone" looks different.. Even the grid on the "window" is not properly aligned. There is no nose antenna ! Retard job !
42. This is how it happen
Rami ,   New York, NY   (12.09.11)
The Iranian knew about the drone and waited for the moment where the drone was in the Iranian direction. They jammed the communications, the drone lost contact with its operator, and set to land safely wherever is possible. Since it was in Iran direction, it was landed without damage. The Iranian did not shot it down. How they were able to jam the communications.... sorry can't tell you EOM.
43. Its was shot down but still looks brand new.
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.09.11)
??? Wow, whats it made of :^P
44. Be consoled - No shortage of Drones
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.09.11)
American has another defective one in the White House He makes speeches virtually everyday, dones on and on and on
45. Are you guys awake?!?!!
Iran#1   (12.09.11)
This is what Iran can do. The American controllers of this bird did not even realize what hit them. They just said "we lost contact" with the drone LOL!!!!! Now imagine what would happen to your pilots when you send them on their suicide mission into Iran. Good luck! Nice interception and touchdown by Iranian defense: Iran 7 USA 0.
46. #20 - maybe the drone will explode....
William ,   Israel   (12.09.11)
once the IRG take it to its secret engineering headquarters. They'll open it up and find nothing but tangled Xmas lights and bottles of cheap booze.
47. #21 - I hope you do hunt our Merkavas
William ,   Israel   (12.09.11)
We added some fun toys that might be of interest to you. Namely, a rapid intercept system of anti-tank RPGs, and a rapid fire gun that detects and neutralizes the target who fired the RPG before you can yell "Allah'u Akbar". The next round will be very fun indeed.
48. Looks like prototyp of scale model-looks like hoax!
who cares   (12.09.11)
Look at the colour - look at the (covered) landing gear-look at details-thats probably a hoax...... To whom does it serve most?
49. #45, i have heard such rhetoric from Serbians...
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.09.11)
and when we decided to get serious with them... well things didn't really work out in their favour now did they?
50. #41 all of you here are experts
Merkava Hunter ,   Lebanon   (12.09.11)
Of course it is shocking news to self inflated ,overestimating itself nation like Israel. In the 2006 Lebanon war, we managed (with limited military capability ) shake the conscience of the Israeli and let them weak up a little from their arrogance, exaggerated self-confidence and let think twice and count to 1000 before thinking about any future aggression toward Lebanon.. A war with Iran probably will make them regret the day they started.
51. drone drama
basil ,   nigeria   (12.09.11)
how are the iranians sure the 'spy drone' is not still transmitting information to the US. Remember what happened in Troy.
52. the americans sent a dummy drone
JL   (12.09.11)
to convince israel they cannot mount a surprise attack...compliments of obama and company
53. #49 Downed F-117
Just wondering   (12.09.11)
Well, I dont' know the seriousness about Serbia but I know that the Serbians downed the very, very secretive F-117 in 1994.
54. Where is Uncle America?
(12.09.11)
55. #21: Yeah OK (Nuff-nuff)
Az ,   Oz   (12.09.11)
S-300 missile systems traveling from Russia to Iran are not in Russia's best interests. That would result in Merkava IV's heading for Georgia and Azerbaijan, in addition to Iran providing missile systems to China for use against Russia (and also supply of the same to Chechnyan lunatics). Even the bear isn't that stupid.
56. #50
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (12.09.11)
Hey fellow, you're living in a make believe world Last war was started by Hezbollah, using Lebanon as its base to do it from, the aggression was from your side Half of Lebanon was destroyed as a result, the UN butted in and stopped us from destroying the rest of the country Keep it up, you'll get another and terminal dose of the same medicine If you saw an actual Merkavs they would have to change your nappies afterwards
