[quote:Anonymous Coward 21427624:MV8yMDg4NDE0XzM1MTc3MjA3XzNBM0RDRUU0] murkins, so stupidy. Iran is not a third world country. The US is the absolute best killing country that ever existed. While they haven't killed as many people as other infamous leaders/countries, they are certainly the most advanced at it. Of course, this comes at some cost, like spending half your budget on killing and ability to kill. Oh, and destroying the base beliefs (ie. Constitution) of your founding fathers,and becoming a bunch of taco eating couch warriors with little regard for the rest of the world, even your own neighbourhood. Just so long as you can stuff your face with twinkies and tacos. America! F**K Yeah! [/quote]

The deputy commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Iran’s domestically manufactured unmanned aerial vehicles are more sophisticated than the United States’ ScanEagle drones.
“The technology used in the ScanEagle is very old and our UAVs are much more advanced than them,” IRNA quoted Brigadier General Hossein Salami as saying on Tuesday.
“Iran can be considered one of the leading [UAV manufacturing] countries” with its “stealth, very long-range, and accurate UAVs,” Salami added.
Commenting on the ScanEagle drone, which the IRGC captured after it entered the country’s airspace over the waters of the Persian Gulf, the senior Iranian commander said, “IRGC forces have the technology to respond to any act of aggression and to bring down and take control of such encroaching aircraft.”
On December 4, IRGC Navy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi announced that the drone had been captured a few days before.
