What do you think? Did the carrier detect it or not? Is it even real footage?

It doesn't matter until they actually do something other than having proxy wars.
They are just a bunch of punks trying to play in the grown up world.

Interesting. UAV's by their design are small and made out of materials, at least in the American made UAV's case, that is designed to make them almost invisible to radar ie. give them the radar cross section of a small bird so they're indistinguishable.

Though the footage itself looks real enough, there is no way of telling whether it was actually taken by an Iranian UAV, whether it was taken by the Americans during exercises, then pirated onto the internet, and then used by the Iranians as propaganda. The launch of the aircraft is highly inconclusive, so apart from calling it as genuine footage of a carrier, it's hard to say what the source is.

It's fake, a drone doesn't stutter like that. It looks like a handheld video camera in a chopper. A drone doesn't hover and the camera quality is crap.

It isn't hovering.

i dont think it is. Regardless of radar 'ping', i am of the firm belief that 7 US aircraft would not be able to gun i down. Also, when it pans out the farthest, there are no ships visible nearby. I was under the distince impression that carriers never traveled alone, and that some of the closest ships should have been visible.

American drones don't.

Not that I necessarily think it's real. But then, I don't think anywhere here is qualified to answer that.

I call bullshit for 2 reasons:
A) the carrier has radar capable of picking out incoming missiles with very small radar signatures (this is what the miniguns on the essex are actually for)
B) most importantly, the first few minute show the carrier deck full of planes and stagnant (can't remember offhand what this is called), this happens only when entering and leaving friendly ports, no carrier cruising the persian gulf would ever step down from battle ready status, their decks are pumping non-stop.

and if that's the best they got for image quality we got nothing to worry about, what'd they do staple a home video camera to a pigeon?

its not real. is anyone familiar with the aegis radar/AA system. the baddest ass radar on the planet....the radar is so strong that if they fix the radar into a beam instead of a wide area its strong enough to zap all the electronics in whatever it is aiming at. and thats not even shooting any missles.

edit: and ya, if thats the best they got for video quality then they are really set back....by 85 we could count the rivets on soviet tanks that came off the assmbly line with our sattelites......

it's too blurry, i can't see what config/CVN it is, especially with all my vid being compressed at work, it does look like a rather small one, though the sub hunter on the starboard catapult is kinda big, to be fair harmor they keep alot of them below deck

Hmmm, even if they did manage to film them, I wouldn't worry too much. I could have drawn you a better picture of what happened.

Man this video is soooo fake! I got headache just from watching this shaking footage ... With this video quality what are they exactly spying? To me this looks like some high school video project not a spying 007 thing

I'd be more concerned about chinese subs than the fucking seagull with a sony handicam strapped to it.

You're an expert on Iranian UAV are you?

Yes indeed ... I got the expert Iranian UAV badge, and you?

ok, if that was the ronald reagan, the largest nuke ever launched, how far away were they taking the pics from? 15 miles? I love how he says " the captain ordered the deck cleared", relying on people's lack of knowledge of navy tactics, carriers underway are launching and landing planes non-stop. they have a brief break period at dawn to inspect the deck, but then the planes are either below deck or in holding patterns. apparently the drone (which if that one at the beginning of the footage on the news show was it, there is no doubt we could have picked it up) had such a good microphone he could hear the commander give orders.
lame
fake
staged
whatever, it's just sad there are going to be people that can't see through it

i think its interesting how Americans in this forum thinks that they have the best technology in the world and that they are sooooooo much more advanced then the rest of the world

So what if they got a crappy sony handycam strapped to a seagull. Not like it had guns and missles and actually posed a serious threat. Intelligence is only deadly when its act upon.
