A wise man once said, "You not a boss if you ain't never took a loss."

Obama seems to think that we should cut our losses and let them have this one and hope it doesn't cost too much rather than escalate tension and cause war.
Many will be displeased with this decision. Glad I'm not the one making decisions...

Good man

Bush Jr. would have "freed" the shit out of Iran by now I guess..

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

Nobody ever claimed it was "undestroyable". What was a Hungarian doing there, anyway? Research "golden bb."

Read it. He is a Hungarian. Dani is the short version of Daniel or Dániel in Hungarian. It was a big thing as most people think that it cant be shot down. Thats why i said "undestroyable"

I don't for a second believe the craft crash landed in that pristine condition on the pic. Calling fake.

Also, I dunno what all the fuss is about. There's not going to be a war with Iran in the foreseeable future anyway as there are too many economic woes to worry about right now, nor is there going to be any sort of popular support for such a war.

Maybe in 5-10 years when they're still being dicks.

They don't turn into bricks when they lose connection. It is still a flying wing.

flying wings are pretty unstable lol. and regardless, even in a glide (still uncontrolled) it's going to be going pretty fucking fast when it hits the ground. even at a shallow angle, i'd imagine it'd take some obvious damage

it probably has some back-up system to glide it to the ground in case of failure. and aren't they flown remotely by a qualified drone pilot thousands of miles away? or is that only for strike attempts?

Especially given how mountainous Iran is.

The one in the OP resembles an aircraft before it leaves the factory, where its still got the primer on.

i'd be surprised if they didn't have such a system, the sidetrack on why it was unscathed was more me saying the iranians are full of shit

They probably found the rubble and created a model for the T.V.

It sounds a lot better to say they found a intact one than rubble.

Nope. Russians and U.S. did it to each other all throughout the Cold war. We both knew we were doing it too.

Not now Dilbert.
