I like the way Reuters says “it remained unclear where the aircraft came from” instead of “we at Reuters don’t know where the aircraft came from.”

My guess is that Iranian scientists replicated the drone Obama was kind enough to allow them to keep. And I don’t for one moment think that Obama’s gift was not intentional.

Question now becomes, can Israel shoot down more than the enemy can send at them and can Israel pinpoint where they came from and put return fire on target before the drones reach Israel?

" The Israeli air force shot down a drone after it crossed into southern Israel on Saturday, the military said, but it remained unclear where the aircraft came from. "

Wasn't Iran bragging a while back that they also have drones ?

Or can Israel say to the Middle East " we got subs with boomers in silos if you really want to test us " ....
