The CIA’s RQ-170 “Sentinel” drone captured by the Iranians last week may have gone down in Afghanistan and then transported to Iran by friendly forces on the ground, a former officer in the elite Quds Force branch of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards told The Daily Caller.


This might be the closest thing to the truth yet.


However, photographs and video footage released by the Iranians on Dec. 8, several days after they announced the drone’s capture, clearly show that both wings had been neatly severed and then reattached.




After looking at all the pictures. It's pretty clear the wings have been reattached.



“This suggests that the drone landed safely and that its wings were cut off so it could be transported by truck,” the former Quds Force officer said. “I believe it was captured by the Taliban inside Afghanistan and transferred to the Iranians, who then reattached the wings,” he added.


If you believe Iran's story the drone came down 250 miles inside Iran territory.

That would be considered an act of war. In violation of several existing treaties.



The United States military has long complained that Iran supplies weapons, explosives, and money to the Taliban. The U.S. has identified camps inside Iran where Taliban fighters are trained.


We really have no need to fly this drone over Iran.

I also do not believe the have the capability to take over one of our aircraft.

Who is whining? Are we projecting now? Look back in history my friend. It is PROCEDURE to ask. It has been done countless times, and this is no different!

Again, who is whining? The only thing I see here, are anti-American cronies, trying to assume they know the details.

BELIEVE NOTHING (unless a country, other than the US says it)

PROPAGANDA (only if it is perpetrated by the US)

Same old song and dance.... A whole school yard, jealous of one kids clothes!

That depends ofcourse where the drone's brain was intercepted.

The landing is alone is not violating airspace, it's the flightpath before that counts.
