On what do you base your judgement? Are Iranian specialists that incompetent?Tyyr wrote:Waste of time to mine the straight one small mine at a time. Better to load ten on the back of a speed boat.

Israel has an history of bombing neighbours if they feel like it.
Also, don't forget that such Drones could, off course, be deployed against U.S. troops in Iraq. But I'd be a lot more worried about what kind of havoc they could unleash on the Ormuz Strait. If Iran has a powerful weapon at its disposal, it'll never be the nuclear weapon, but the capacity to plunge the world economy into one of the greatest energy crisis it's ever gonna know via attacking/mining the Ormuz Strait.

Whoops?A few weeks ago, according to official and private reports, the Iranian air force shot down three drones near the southwestern city of Bushehr, where a Russian-supplied nuclear reactor has just started up. When the Revolutionary Guards inspected the debris, they expected to find proof of high-altitude spying. Instead, the Guards had to report to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei that the air force had blasted Iran's own unmanned aircraft out of the sky.

Hum... no. It's bad communication between the anti-air defence forces and the people running the experimentation project.lcpl seilicki wrote:That redefines stupid
