An Al Jazeera report suggests that the drone had been brought down by a virtual attack from Iran's cyberwarfare unit, after taking control of it.
The UAV was hacked and forced to land.
Russian military experts have visited what Tehran says is several downed US drone aircrafts - conducting a technical analysis on the remains, FARS news agency has reported.

Then you shouldn't repeat it so much if you're tired.
Also, the link you are providing uses the term "Suggests".
That doesn't really make it "Fact" does it?
We will never know the truth because we are not meant to know as we don't matter.

I'll repeat if I damn well please. So don't go trying to bust my balls.
That's what I believe. They hacked it and forced it to land. A damn teenager can hack into the pentagon and you think Iran's cyber warfare unit can't hack into a UAV? Please...

Sorry, you quoted from Wikipedia, and the comments there were modified on December 4, 2011! Immediately as this "news" is breaking!!
The *fact* that it is in Wikipedia that Iran "hacked" into the flying software of that drone is ludicrous, in the extreme.
Any "hacking" being done is by whomever added those bits to Wikipedia. You don't think any agents in the Iranian Government know how to do that, by any chance? Yes, they can also read and write and speak English, too.
P.S. at the naysayers!
But where the Kolchuga has the greatest advantages is its ability to identify accurately radio objects thanks to unique algorithms and hi-tech equipment. In particular, the mean square deviation in frequency measurement - the most informative parameters for identifying types of spotted radio objects - is 0.4MHz in the Kolchuga. It is 0.5MHz - 1.0MHz in the Russian Vega, 1.0MHz in the U.S. AWACS, and as much as 3.6MHz - 21.0MHz in the Czech Vera.
