US secrets in Iran’s hands: Commando raid an option?

December 08, 2011 11:11

After the CIA lost control of a surveillance drone over Iran, US officials decided against sending a team to retrieve or destroy its remains. However that was before Tehran announced its military was behind the downing of the spy device.

The US is quite upset about the loss of this UAV of theirs.

This RQ-170 UAV is a highly advanced piece of machinery. No other country has the technology to build such an advanced vehicle - certainly not the Russians who have been reduced to begging Israel to sell them some of their basic models. This UAV consist of four advanced systems which no other country can manufacture:
&nbs p;  a. Guidance, navigation and control system

   b. Surveillance, info processing, and transmission system

   c. Stealth technology

&n bsp;  d. Highly efficient propulsion system

The Iranians have a gold mine in advanced technology which they can now try to replicate and also develop counter measures for.

The reason the clever Iranians have not provided any  photographic evidence of their captured UAV is because they don't want the Americans to know the condition of the UAV. Americans are in the dark as to what exactly is the condition of the UAV, and that is why the Americans are screaming "show us the proof".  But, the clever Iranians know better than to show their cards to their prime adversary. 

Of course, the Russians and Chinese are salivating at the opportunity to examine the vehicle, but the clever Iranians will most likely make those two pay a high price to take a peak.

 I believe the UAV was brought down by a zap from a newly developed Iranian laser equipment. If this is true, there isn't a dry eye at either the Pentagon or the CIA. 

Th e US-NATO Axis, and their Israeli sidekicks, have been treating Iran as if it is a nation of goat herders and date pickers. To the contrary, the Iranians are an intelligent and talented people who know how to defend their nation. If the US-NATO Axis and Israe are ever foolish enough to attack Iran, they will be in for a rather bloody surprise.

The US is quite upset about the loss of this UAV of theirs for three reasons:

1. This RQ-170 UAV is a highly advanced piece of machinery.

@Imajwalker The world (Including Russia,USA,England,C hina and even Canada) Have learnt from the past and they are disarming nuclear weapons. Every goverment spies on "innocent countries for their own security. I'm not from the usa but to be fair I really don't blame them for wanting to stop radical countries from obtaining nuclear weapons. Alot of these countries have medieval mindsets and are led more by religion than intellectual debate. Yes I agree in disarming the world of nuclear weapons including israel! Why can't this world just make peace!!! Leave religion at home in the family and make peace for our children! ps....i n response to Iran not doing anything wrong.......All i have to say to that is show the world and be transparent about your nuclear systems so they stop worrying! then invite Obama round for a all you can eat buffet and talk about how the two nations can help each other out!

@ laurence (unregistered) Talk about weapons of mass destruction.  The USA is in the business.  They SELL weapons to the Taliban.  The USA 'spies' on innocent countries.  They detain people with NO charges for indefinite time.  They attack their own citizens when no war is present.  The USA deserves this.  I'm from Canada and I love this.  If you're so worried about weapons of mass destruction, then clean up your own back yard (USA) and then clean up Isreal.  They have loads of nuclear weapons.  Iran has done nothing and there is no proof that they are doing anything wrong.  The one you need to worry about is the President of the United States that should be institutionalized.&n bsp; The USA doesn't want to start anything.  Iran will take out the USA's posts over there and then the USA will have to spend your food stamp money to rebuild everything.  I wouldn't blame Iran for one second if they retaliate. It's like someone taking your bbq out of your back yard.  You'd want it back... haha

I'd even risk the idea that documents gathered from the brit embassy might have also been of help in this new persian victory...

I won't believe they have it until I see their picture of it. I believe if they had it, they would be joyful to publish a picture on Iranian soil. When the F-117 went down in 1999 a picture of the wreckage was immediately available and published by Serbia.
First of all, very few people care about what you would believe. Then Ahmadinejad the Great is not Milosevic. Why should Iran show that they have it? That would give the "axis of evil" a hint of where the "thing" actually is... But as already said, the "bird" must be undergoing an accurate autopsy in China or Russia (in video-conference with North Korea)...
