Video of the US RQ-170 Sentinel Spy Plane Landing in Iran

[bernardheption]

این فرود عالی چگونه اندک خسارتی در پی داشت؟

[CrushTheNewOrder]

Yankee drones are not even worth the paper printed to buy them with. All you need is a good radio combat suite (datalink interference) and a GPS silencer and all the yankee drones are gonna fall out of the sky like paper planes.

No wonder Russia considers UCAVs a bad joke. They're only useful against Bantuman tribes in Africa.

[eyeAMtwinkEE]

@CrushTheNewOrder Bad jokes for sure, that's why Russian UAV's, despite housing technology from the stone age, are bolstered all over military conferences.

[CrushTheNewOrder]

@eyeAMtwinkEE The baddest joke is to pass off some fiberglass model plane with a jet engine and GPS tracker as "futuristic technology".

[eyeAMtwinkEE]

@CrushTheNewOrder In that case, shooting an RQ-170 isn't quite the treacherous task, then is it? In which case, what does that say about the purported "super effective" methods of UAV hunting in which Russia is supposedly so adept?

[CrushTheNewOrder]

@eyeAMtwinkEE Ofcourse not, Russia could down just about any of your radio-controlled devices. You have any doubts about that? Securing even a GPS-based autopilot homeward is a very daunting task indeed. Try doing that to a pilot.

[eyeAMtwinkEE]

@CrushTheNewOrder Considering the Iranian's inability to shoot down a majority of UAV missions over it, Iran is either highly incompetent in your eyes or stopping drones is not quite as simple as you describe.

[CrushTheNewOrder]

@eyeAMtwinkEE They just learnt to use this new shiny Russian equipment, and the result is: game over for US spying over Iran. Not bad, eh?

[eyeAMtwinkEE]

@CrushTheNewOrder Hm, well word out of the pentagon is that UAV missions aren't being stopped. Apparently this newfangled UAV killer from Russia will have to prove itself once more, won't it?

[CrushTheNewOrder]

@eyeAMtwinkEE In time, yes. Watch this space on YouTube for new Iranian discoveries ;)

[CrushTheNewOrder]

@eyeAMtwinkEE The "UAV killer" is apparently the radio analysis/warfare suite called Avtobaza. At least thats how the rumours go.

But then again, after viruses planted in the UAV control network and cases of Talibans watching the video link from US UAVs in realtime, nothing should surprise you anymore?

[nunubyou]

If they were able to land it then they must be able to gain operational control,that's serious.Why did the contractor not build a safeguard into the RQ 170.Something as simple as a multi-channel/multi frequency scrambler slaved to control multi port/ multi transciever at both ends.You know those contracters,charge Sam allot and deliver crap and while waving the flag so long the cash keeps coming in.

[blacklion1798]

you guys (iranians who believes your govt's CRAP) are so stupid

[ImperialGuardofIran]

@blacklion1798 the americans who believe there govts carp tend to be in greaer numbers and just as bad

[blacklion1798]

@ImperialGuardofIran not even close

[lilyzhangusa]

Iran doesn't have such a technology to land a spy plane in their land...lol.

Iranian news is always full of sh**t .

they cant even manufacture parts for their Boeings..that's why their planes are falling down every couple of months...

[sandman731000]

iran is so smart they turned the sentinel into a polecat then flew it to Palmdale. Oh yea next time iran these planes fly at night. Gee its only been spying on you for five years think you would have known by now.

[mutley66]

@superazteca1 I don't altogether understand your response.. I will say however that the Russians likely have no interest in drone technology - look at Georgia, they don't care about arousing suspicion re: surveillance - and China has two advanced, flight-tested prototype stealthy drones of its own already.. Why would it intentionally annoy its biggest export / financial capital market for something it already possesses?

[XMansv]

Ha ha ha stupid Iranian monkies.

Do they not realize that this drone is full of FALSE stealth technology so that Iran will tune their radar to something that WON'T WORK when the US flies into Iran and destroys their nuke facilities?

Ha ha ha stupid stupid nigger pig Iranians!!

[abusivepersian]

@XMansv Yes, your obviously smarter than scientists and engineers whom Iran has hired and have studied such stealth technology for decades of their lives. And I'm sure this scenario you described could not have come across even one of the hundreds of minds working with the Iranian defense. Its unfortunate your mother was drinking and smoking while she was pregnant with you, otherwise you might have been born with some morsel of common sense.

[XMansv]

@abusivepersian And if they have realized the drone is a flase decoy then the net gain for them is zero.

Oh and by the way...fuck you.

[landoperu69]

Osea que facilmente Iran podria derribar o desviar los misiles israelies facilmente, eso nos da un buen respiro visto que el "imperio" pensaba darnos de regalo navideño, otra guerra. Salidos desde Lima Perú. Fuerza pueblo Irani !!

[FEDEMADAGASCAR]

IRAN IRAN! IRAN! JAJAjajajajajajaajja

Good Job!

Aguante Iran Saludos desde Argentina!

[chairde]

That was a controlled landing on an airstrip. Most likely out west somewhere.

[mackiwawa]

O ma god! Trampoline, trampoline, trampoline!

[mutley66]

@superazteca1 Erm, so 'ultra mega super secret' and 'modern' that 'American taxpayers' have known about it since it was spotted in August 2007, its existence confirmed by the DoD December 2009. Unit cost probably doesn't exceed $15m, I'm sure America has far more expensive toys in Iranian airspace loitering around as you babble on..

[bloody789]

this is not rq-170 it's obvious!!!

[pabnaful]

both Israel and Iran are western allies. they are partners in crimes with the west. Iran just uses the Palestinian issue and anti Israel stance as cover to hide the fact that they serve western arms industry. west needs a fictitious enemy like Iran in that region to keep the military bases and the arms race. real Semites were already living with the Arabs but the Anglos adapted Judaism for geopolitical and monetary power. they imposed themselves on rest of the Jews to destabilize the region.

[TheTrieye]

checkout my 12/21/12 videos everybody

[dindadadindoh]

Horseshit.

[KamyarM]

@azzarat79 the Iranians have the drone , this footage hasn't been released by the Iranian military . It's just a stupid mistake by a Iranian news channel, Fox News , CNN and CBS have also showed random UAV's while describing them as rq-170's .

[azzarat79]

bwahahaha. . .now I'm convinced. . .they don't have the drone. . .The one the iran has is a fine replica. and too bad not good enough. full of flaws and inconsistencies. #1 the grill on the air intake don't make sense. #2 the color don't make sense. This video is the Polecat. The one they claimed is an RQ 170. nice try Iran. You've done it before and you've done it again. Be carefull what you're try to pull out. because you might end up like Iraq or Afghanistan.

[maxutley]

excuse me mister.. can I have my spy drone back.

[bobbymannblue]

Nice try but obviously not the same Drone as Iran claims to have.

[Duke00978]

Uhm, there's two problems with this: 1: the drone in the video here doesn't match with the one released in videos from Iran, and 2: this drone landed deliberately on a runway, not falling out of the sky like it was reported.

[zedanilla]

the video shows the "Lockheed P-175 Polecat"

original of this video is 4 years old, look for it on YouTube: Y2c9V71BRn8

:))

[mutley66]

Yeah, that's not a Sentinel, that's corporate footage of Lockheed's prototype Polecat P175, with some bird chatting in Persian over the top.

[Eclipse661]

@mutley66 lol some bird? thats some very dated slang right there

[mutley66]

@Eclipse661 Yes.

[greaterwhiter1]

From US to the people of Iran. I don't support armed conflict against your people. Your people need to make your own leaders accountable. as user "techniktrix" said: "Just let's not fight, all that will happen is that we all suffer and our governments will wait for the end in their comfortable bunkers."

[techniktrix]

ITT: butthurt warmongers.

[7e5y]

Im wondering how would US and its Allies react if a Iranian drone was flown into US.

Iran is showing that they have no intention to wage war, so please remove the sanctions and negotiate with Iran. Iran wants peace

[kokogro]

that's not thr rq 170 that iran downed, dumb ass, fake ass shit, no front grill dumb ass, and no front horizontal camera idiot

[HUMBUMTEL]

OK now, give it back to it's owners.

[techniktrix]

Dear people from Iran, cogratulations on capturing that drone. Sorry that our "allies" are so arrogant and stupid. Just let's not fight, all that will happen is that we all suffer and our governments will wait for the end in their comfortable bunkers.

Sincerely, a German.

[7e5y]

@techniktrix The Persians(Iranian) are from the Aryan Race same as in Germany

[JaggedMuffin]

Shut up Muslim dog. You will never be America, never. You are years behind and reverse engineering isn't easy, and there is no such thing as God.

[andr01d1]

I'm Israeli and this was an impressive job by Iran's intelligence, albeit probably not without external "help". Shooting down a drone is easy, capturing it and making it land suggests comprehensive knowledge of it's inner workings and it's very hard to do... USA must be scratching their heads real hard in disbelief.

[sunearthmoonjupiter]

What a beautiful landing.... Long live Iran

[7e5y]

@aux1z11 ammmm....not all exclude RT and PressTV

[ahmdmassoud]

long live islamic republic of iran
