Iran military official claim the sheet was downed on their East border and has small damage . They say it was not shot down by jet fighters or ground defenses , but using some form of electronic interference :
The informed source said on Sunday that Iran Army ’s electronic war unit successfully targeted the American - built RQ-170 Sentinel stealth aircraft after it cross into Iranian airspace over the molding with neighbor Afghanistan .
The Iranians have claimed US radio-controlled aircraft kill many time , although they have never produced much cogent evidence of their claims . This is the first clock time they claim an Sentinel kill , which is very significant . The RQ-170 is a stealth drone and , in theory , the Iranians would n’t have the engineering science to detect it .
They have n’t shown any painting of the downed RQ-170 Sentinel . If they really killed it , I would imagine that they would like to brag about it with videos and pictures . The United States have n’t confirm any killed drone , but you would expect that in their continuous media war .
Given theridiculous media disc of the Persian militaryand the Sentinel ’s applied science , my hunch is that they are lying their mammilla off .
