The only good thing about drones is that no one dies when you blow it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Red Devil Posted July 19, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Iran is denying they lost any drone. Israel is a leader in drone technology, maybe one swerved away off course from Tel Aviv. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Iran's little president/puppet is offering to chat AFTER all sanctions are dropped, I won't hold my breath for it though. ETA: Our's cost about 120 mil.

Half their surface fleet didn't cost that much Yeah, theirs could have been the $100k or less bargain model. Still, the mullahs and their spokesmen have to start out from a high negotiating position and move from there, and maybe hope to get something. At some point, they may be willing to trade their "very advanced" nuclear program and withdrawal of "advisers" for removal of sanctions Were I the Iranians, I would try to dance out of the way of a direct confrontation, offer to give a little and hope to get a little. But then, I am not a mullah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Strikes on Iran Approved by Trump, Then Abruptly Pulled Back https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/20/world/middleeast/iran-us-drone.html Quote Donald Trump refuses to rule out war with Iran after US drone is shot down https://metro.co.uk/2019/06/20/donald-trump-refuses-rule-war-iran-us-drone-shot-10021325/ Thats on Iran, as in the sovereign nation Iran, not on some Iranian military vessel, or Iranian drone(s). Contrary to what the usual suspects might have you believe, that ordering strikes on foreign nations is as normal as ordering a milkshake at your local McD's, this would actually consititute engaging in warfare against another state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeeeeesss... um... not relevant to my question though, is it ? When did the USA state that shooting down their drone was an "act of war" ? I don't think they DID, did they ?

It’s pretty fun. Have you ever killed a human being, let alone the innocent bystander variant (an extremely plausible result when using such WMD´s)? It will haunt you until your last days on this earth. See thats what I mean, you think this is all some sort of game, a spectator sport.. `Oh look honey, the attack on Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iran has started.. watch all the beautiful missiles fly!` Lets see how you like it when missiles come raining down on YOUR nation, on YOUR town, on YOUR family. Suddenly it isnt somuch ´fun´ anymore. Get some bloody sense of reality why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just about the same amount of influence on people that start wars as you do. Maybe you should change the channel to the cartoon network or the cooking channel.
