See any holes?
Could this be the smoking electron in the alleged unmanned air vehicle (UAV) incident over Iran? The original reports that Iran "shot down" a Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel appear to be misleading. Iranian news agency reports credited the army's electronic warfare unit with bringing down the UAV, but apparently in a way that limited the amount of damage on landing or impact.

Yep. It seems Iran landed it themselves.
You're thinking of first gen stealth tech.. the second gen is more based on the skin -- paint color is irrelevant now.. they use a power based spray on radar/infrared absorbing material. It breaks down quickly in the heat and must be re-coated before a mission.
