RQ-170

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?

  1. Start buying lots and lots of hemp rope?

    1. Raspy hemp rope would be appropriate.

  2. We here know what needs to be done to secure our future, as Joe Blow says buy lots of hemp rope I agree. It is a pretty good chance the communists will win the house and senate, maybe that will speed up CW2.

      I am afraid you are right, Tom. What these clueless MAGA BOTS cannot conceive is the frustration of the average American citizen over the continued inflation and loss of purchasing power of their dollars. Gasoline keeps climbing and with diesel skyrocketing (at least here in my A/O), food and other needful things are becoming more expensive. And the continued push for these demonic AI Data Centers along with FLOCK and AXON is right out of 1984 and BRAVE NEW WORLD.
      The sub rosa shenanigans of the Trump Crime Family sons, daughter, and reptilian shapeshifting (((son-in-law))) with crypto manipulation, oil futures, and the Albanian Island resort scam are not lost on those of us who pay attention. The only gems of light I have seen involve the efforts of ICE to rid us of criminal wetbacks, my increased geezer tax deductions from the BBB, and the fact I can now own a short-barreled shotgun, rifle, and/or suppressor if I choose to. I am still prepping for the sporty times in 2027. Bleib ubrig.

      1. Amen to all of that. The inflation is the key issue, as it is killing people’s budgets. It’s nicking mine pretty good, and I’m just a single middle aged guy with fairly simple tastes and basic needs. The pain is really starting to show, in any case. There is no meat left on the bone to cut for most people, so now discretionary spending is getting hit, as well one would expect it to. Trump gets a large part of the blame for it, too. Further, it will be worse in another year, as there is typically an 18 month delta between the government overspending (or raw emission of unbacked credit) and it’s being revealed as downstream inflation at retail.

      The “communists win the house and the senate?!” –COUNT UPON IT. And why? Because the needs of ‘our very best friends that we could ever have’ (meaning Israel) is vastly more important then our freedoms here in the USA… and President Trump screwed it all away. I thought Trump being bamboozled by the covid hoax was bad–but this one takes the grand prize for 5th Column efforts… meaning AIPAC and Israel. The USA spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a war for another country (Israel) for an impossible outcome that has absolutely no relevance to our own country… other than it is a monkey-spanking wet-dream of cultist, Christian-Zionist whackjobs. And on top of this, the major effect of this war is affecting energy prices–jacking up costs on everything you can imagine.

  3. Yea Dweezil, trump and his children are into crypto big time, I always enjoy reading your comments you have a great way of describing our situation. Check out hoffman tactical for their AR trigger kicker it is legal and cheap and easy to install they have a video on how to install.

      Thanks, Tom. Will do. And I will await to see what SCOTUS does with the big AR case which is before them now. Take care. Stay safe.

  4. I haven’t seen a government denial about this. This was reported on main stream media yesterday evening.

    1. You realize, of course, that an official denial just means it’s absolutely true. Such is the perfidy of government stooges.

    2. If you are referring to the post, I was referring to the drone captured in 2011.

  5. Iran doesn’t have a Navy… What they do have is countless small fishing and pleasure type boats they can and do use for military purposes.
