As a reminder from Grok:
In 2011 Iran captured a U.S. RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone largely intact. Washington called it a malfunction; Tehran claimed electronic warfare.
The loss mattered more than one aircraft. It gave Iran a look at stealth design and sensors, sped up its own UAV program (Shahed copies followed), and showed how even advanced drones can be vulnerable to jamming and spoofing.
That episode helped set the stage for today’s cheap, mass-produced drone warfare.

Remember how the US government denied this and then said that Iran did not have the ability to reverse engineer the technology. Compare that to the government’s current denial of Anduril’s underwater drone’s capture and technology.
Also consider how many times that Trump said he destroyed Iran’s navy. If they have no navy, how did they capture the drone? As the administration unravels through war, debt, Israeli influence and loss of the people’s support, what should our course of action be to secure a future for our children?
