The inspections will be a learning experience for the Russians and Chinese. This is technology neither is capable of developing on their own.
Tell that to the Pentagon and the twin towers. The worst thing that could happen to Americans is that the US of AIPAC military-industrial complex is allowed to flourish.
Iran has three potential buyers, China, America and Russia. But Americans are frankly bad buyer. Their money is not particularly to Iran and then needed. Their promises are worthless. They may have their own channels to put pressure on Iran. But I would place the Iranian drone gave Russia in exchange for surface-to-air missile.
Knowledge of its stealth design Sensory technology How to shoot down future drones Sharing the technology with China and Russia Speaking with the Los Angeles Times, robotic warfare expert Peter W. Singer says the drone "carries a variety of systems that wouldn't be much of a benefit to Iran, but to its allies such as China and Russia, it's a potential gold mine." Forecasting the liklihood that Iran would share the information with America's rivals, A U.S. official tells the Times, "It's bad they'll have everything" referring to the military technology. "And the Chinese or the Russians will have it too." source
A remote-control aeroplane is hardly advanced technology. If China is capable of putting a satellite in orbit then building a glorified model aeroplane would present no problem.
All militaries have deficiencies. Both Russia and China are backward in drone technology. They don't use drones the same way the American Nero uses them. During the Russo-Georgian War the Russians were forced to use bombers to do reconnaissance. China is no better. This is another defeat for America. It must make you happy. Too bad no Americans died huh?
Putin is accusing Clinton of encouraging unrest. "They heard this signal and with the support of the US State Department began their active work,"
Even the Ruskies and Chinese will be hard pressed to reverse the technology. When I was in Iraq, I flew within close proximity of the border, and sometimes signal fades so it is possible that they lost signal and it flew into Iran. Not every aircraft that enters their airspace is a "spy mission". If we wanted to fly and spy on Iran, we wouldn't use a Sentinel or any piece of equipment that could be traced back to us.
and would you lik Iran flying spy drones over the US? (*)(*)(*)(*) you people - Iran is a sovereign nation. whether you disagree with its actions or not doesn't mean you have the right to fly drones in their airspace. seems like you are itching for another war.
Now it does not matter to spy on Iran or not, the main thing that the drone was in the hands of the Iranians and they should not be greedy, share the trophy in Russia.
It looks like the drone has absolutely no damage at all, almost as if the US landed the drone in Iran on purpose. At first Iran says they shot it down, now they claim cyber warfare brought it down - so as we know now, Iran didn't bring it down because they can't even get their story straight on how it went down. Since it looks so intact, who's to say the US doesn't know where it is? Who's to say it's not transmitting a signal? Who's to say the US (or Israel) isn't hovering over it right now waiting for some top Officials to go look at it and strike then? Strange.

D.E.P you are prolly right ... Iranian electronics specialists / scientists are prolly at this very moment reading comic books trying to decipher the Captain America anti-mullah mullah programs ,,,, and they'll all want to be there and touch it ... Hopefully , it'll be the last thing they ever do ..
They are welcome to try, and iranian spies have already been caught and deported. They are also the world's #1 state sponsor of terrorism. The US spies on everyone else, just as everyone else spies on the US. Get used to it. Like every rational human who would like to give peace a chance in the middle east, only through the total destruction and elimination of the rogue, fake, illegitimate, fascist dictatorship of iran could we possibly achieve that chance.
Ah. That looks to be in too good of condition to be a downed aircraft. Even after we fixed one of my downed aircraft it still looks like a Frankenstein aircraft.
Ah, excellent. Control-jamming and airborne reprogramming . Clever stuff. I imagine Russian and Iranian technicians having a party. Having recorded its incriminating data the Iranians should now present it to the UN.
I'm wondering why the military didn't launch an air strike to destroy it after they lost control of it? That's what I believe should have done to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Chinese and being reverse engineered like the F-117 is rumored to have been when it was shot down in 1999. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jan/23/china-stealth-fighter-us-technology
