Iran fires at U.S. drone

Iranian Fighter Jets Attempt To Shoot Down U.S. Drone In International Airspace . . . On November 1st…

We’re just learning about this now?

Via CNN:

Two Iranian Su-25 fighter jets fired on an unarmed U.S. Air Force Predator drone in the Persian Gulf last week, CNN has learned.

The incident raises fresh concerns within the Obama administration about Iranian military aggression in crucial Gulf oil shipping lanes.

The drone was in international airspace east of Kuwait, U.S. officials said, adding it was engaged in routine maritime surveillance.

Although the drone was not hit, the Pentagon is concerned.

Two U.S. officials explained the jets were part of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps force, which has been more confrontational than regular Iranian military forces.

The Obama administration did not disclose the incident, which occurred just days before the presidential election on November 1, but three senior officials confirmed the details to CNN.

The officials declined to be identified because of sensitive intelligence matters surrounding the matter.

The drone’s still and video cameras captured the incident showing two SU-25s approaching the Predator and firing its onboard guns.

The Iranian pilots continued to fire shots that went beneath the Predator but were never successful in hitting it, according to the officials.

U.S. military intelligence a n a l ysts are still not sure if the Iranian pilots simply were unable to hit the drone due to lack of combat skill, or whether they deliberately were missing and had no intention of bringing down the drone. But as one of the officials said, “it doesn’t matter, they fired on us.”

...and he came down from the mountain and said let their be peace..



Then he droned the crap out of Iran..

Canada desperately requires high tech anti-aircraft capabilities.

They were trying to miss, they were, uh....trying to scare it away, yeah, that's the ticket....scare it away.

They were fired upon so it matters.

Oh my! The Iranians are tired of being spied on and the US is incensed that they were challenged for spying. Must be nice to be the center of the Universe.

In international air space!!!!!

What do drones do? Where was it headed? How many drones have harassed the Iranians since they were first put into service?

And an act of war!! Being they shot at the plane in International space..

Hey, I plan on shooting one down the first chance I get.

Oops...I missed the duck! Collateral damage. Wrong place wrong time. al Qaeda did it!

Obama is looking for trouble. If he finds it he won't have my support. I hope he fails in whatever he does.

Iran has hacked into the computer network which is the Command and Control of some of these Drones and landed them safely on their military airfields. They are also building heir own drones too. Israel shot one down two weeks ago in their air space and have recovered some parts.
