officials have obtained information from the plane system and recordings

"For one thing, we learned that the shoddy American equipment is prone to blow up whenever 20 or 30 observers gather around it."

This clearly demonstrates that Russia has supplied Iran with advanced air defense technology . To be able to track, target and shoot down a a small drone is quite worrisome.

I'd think we let them have the drone as a trojan horse of sorts. Now they think they know what we can see, and, therefore, what we may know about them.

If I were playing the game, I'd be Effing with their melons every damn day.

"The US media has reported that the US military has been secretly flying surveillance drones over Iran since 2004..."

Well at least the Daily Telegraph admits it.

"Once the dust settles, we can haul in the MOABs, BUFs, Apaches and A-10s to take care of whatever's left standing ahead of sweeping Armor and Infantry."

And they can bring in a WMD in the diplomatic pouch and leave it in Times Square.
