Engineers with the IRGC were ordered to reverse engineer the captured US drone, which was on a CIA mission to spy on nuclear and military sites in Iran when it was brought down in Iran largely intact. Iran reacted with euphoria, trumpeting the capture in an electronic ambush showed Irans technical prowess................Another Obama success story

Replicating the body is probably fairly easy, if you are using fibreglass or something.
However, that doesn’t mean much if they are only going to show off their creation and not fly it.

Can it fly? Or will it float.

Why couldn’t the US have engineered a destruct mechanism into the drone to prevent this capture from happening?

Obama is probably so proud of his support for Iran. GOD help us all.

Weren’t our first drones for target practice? Seems like the Iranians are almost at this first step.

There are about 190 countries in the world and the country at the VERY top of vapid, lying braggarts when it comes to weapon matters is IRAN —they’re FAMOUS for this and have been for quite some time.
Liberal photoshopping, fake “stealth airplanes”, “flying submarines” —the lying list from the Mullahs is very, very long, and often it’s so obvious that it’s embarrassing.
It is even possible that the CIA deliberately crashed this drone in Iran IN ORDER to have it stolen and copied —probably along with lots of fake stuff and secret off switches.
The only wild card is that Obama hates the American military, so...it’s not 100% on this particular one.

The mandatory full-body purdah interferes somewhat with the aerodynamics, however.

Even NON-PILOTS will catch a few design impossibilities, after 5 or so minutes of really looking.

It will fly just after the Russian space shuttle copy of ours flies.. oh wait
To: mandaladon
Lol. The materials used are so far beyond Iran that it isn’t even funny. It’s like a caveman trying to forge a katana. Exactly like, in fact.
