When the Iranians first reported to have shot down an American drone, the Americans first said no comment and then denied any drone had overflow Iran.
Later they conceded a done had been shot down but said this happened in international waters.
Personally I had thought it was a small craft. The thing is BIG! The reason why the Americans were denying it is that the drone flys at a height of 18kms, which is near space. Technically, the Iranians are not supposed to have the missiles to reach it.
The Americans just lost $120 million just like that…to a $75,000 missile.
Americans should just get it through their skulls Iranian are PERSIANS and not camel riding stupid fat Arabs.Persians have played a great role in the history of the world and they were involved in expansion drives to Europe hundred of years ago.They have a smart population that have withstood US sanctions for decades .Their intelligence networks are vast and can’t be easily infiltrated by foreign powers.They think they can topple the Iranian government like any other dumb Arab country they’re used to meddling with.
Persians are a whole different breed of people but the stupid average American confuses them with Arabs.
exactly the same problem Saudi are having with the Houthi rebels…the rebels have developed $3,000 missiles that reach Riyadh from Yemen…Saudi is currently using the US Patriot air and missile defence system (that has an estimated price tag of $3.5 billion) to shoot down and bring down these missiles… with each missile capture by the patriot costing millions of dollars! talk about killing a fly with a sledge-hammer
Iran has been building their Air defense systems for decades. They have learnt from Israel and usa boasting of shutting down enemies radars and jamming them. They used Russians systems are the primary defense system. They have used China to build a secondary system and lastly built their own system using Pakistan and North Korea know how to shorten the development to deployment stage. Defeating one is hard, all three is impossible. The usa will now use hundreds of very expensive stealth supersonic missiles to try hit them. They also hope that most wouldn’t be shot down like it happened earlier in the year in Syria. They short 200 missiles in Syria but lost 60% of them. Meanwhile all these helps Russia and China to improve their own systems which in the future is supplied to other nations like Iran.
So what? they were fucked over by arabs from iraq and assimilated anyway. and forcefully converted to muslims not long ago. now they have muslim problems and they are very salty.
