So if they're now so concerned that Iran has gained valuable intel from this crash, we can make an assumption: the data that drone carried wasn't encrypted. What idiots.

The biggest winner is definately china

Fantastic news now the Iranians and chinese will be able make them, soon all the other remote controlled weapons will also be captured and reproduced,levelling the playing field,and one day unmanned drones from china will be cruising over america,what goes around comes around.

Well sir, if you did not want the plane to end up in their hands you should have kept it afar far away from them.

@harry, why should China send unmanned drones as they have over 1,3 billion inhabitants

In a year or 2, every american kid will have an awesome, high-tech stealth RC aircraft in their possession, thanks to the Chinese. Iran will give this tech to China, then China will make counterfit reproductions with very cheap counterfit parts. This will alow every American to spy equally on it's own government that spies on them. Congrats! Small victory for China, HUGE victory for the American people!!

Ah, the USA caught with their pants down.  How sad.  Good for Iran.  Take whatever info you can get.  Keep Obama on the burner for a while. This must be really embarrassing for the US.  Iran did nothing wrong.  But somebody did and how much of the taxpayers money is sitting in another country?  Hmmm...

The equipment may be highly intelligent... can't say much for it's commanders.

How interesting how Obama and Clinton are displacing the naked looting of the American people and the U.S military aggression by crying election fraud in Russia! Hillary and Obama do not seem to know when to keep silent and when to speak up. They brought nothing but endless humiliations to the people of the United States since they came to power.

Hahahaha how sweet the Pentagon's toy is being exposed to the enemy good I hope China and Russia examines this spydrone for future warfare with the scum American government. Nato America - Crimes Against Humanity 

What makes you think America didn't want them to have it?  You have to understand America.  They more than likely want you to have it if Iran landed it.  It's an optical illusion.  They more than likely want you to learn to police your own country.  Think outside the box guys.  Now you have the technology, you can make them and now you guys make the toys and THE US can just hack your systems and make you pay for the drones instead of having to pay for them themselves.  Drones are expensive. 

Or maybe it could be a Trojan horse...

RT, land of the most gullible readers on-line

The technology to make spy drones comes at a high price. The people who are able to supply information as to how they operate will be paid very well for handing over that information. You can be assured Russia knows what is going on. However, it is not the actual drone but the radio control system that is the high technology component.

School boys in Russia, China, USA, and other countries are probably figuring out how to use the ubiquitous cell phone communications system, digital video camera, and an inboard GPS system on their model aircraft to make their own drones. Cost of cell phone, GPS, camera, airframe, motor and fuel supply can come in under $1000 and still gather info over the local area. Add a radio scanner and digital storage device and you have a poor man's spy drone.

Boys on Youtube are uploading videos of things they have photographed with their RC drone aircraft already.

This is what happened to the U.S.A. when things like to move very fast or U.S.A likes to see so much changing in the region especially in the Middle East known as Western Asia.

Wow just wait until humans realize all their special powers too, Drones are nothing compared to Qi, and how we have not begun to understand such as simple truth:  Putin knows, clearly.

But had an Iranian spy plane or spy of any kind been found in the US.....WW3 ASAP!

about every counrty out there had drones before the usa had one Russia China Taiwan Ukraine and others have already shot them down in the past its on youtube best one is where a Russian mig dose a 180 mid air and blows it out of there air space awhile back but sheeple of the usa thinks none has every been shot down before today

Sorry to burst some Bubbles ...

But most people have been aware of this technology ever since the Americans and the British capture the Horten IX - Nurflugel - the German Stealth Fighter designed by the Horten brothers.

There is nothing new in this drone, except for some refined RF absorbent materials, a lighter less noisy engine .... however the juicy stuff is the on board electronic packages. There are a few sensors in there that really are a curiosity, along with flight control systems.

Having the drone plans and schematics emailled to you is one thing, however physically playing with an operational drone is a whole new game.

The Americans still haven't worked out how it 'fell out of the sky' yet.
If this is the best that they can come up with from Billion$ spent on crappy systems - then they had better quit now whilst they are ahead.

Putin and the other axis of evils must be going nuts. Probably like 19th century guys finding a alien flying saucer. Should not take them long to copy since that is what axis of evil people are best at.
