A U.S. official confirmed to Fox News the drone from an Iranian proxy that killed 3 American servicememebers in Jordan and injured others got past the air defenses for Tower 22 because it was mistaken for a U.S. drone expected to return to the base at the same time.
The Wall Street Journal initially reported on this development on Monday. A U.S. official confirmed the information to Fox News.

So no IFF squawk? WTH?
U.S. Failed to Stop Attack in Jordan Due to Mixup Over Drone Identity
Ukrainian blackmarket ?
Someone sabotaged transponder codes and provided them to the enemy to use. My money would be Nuland and Sullivan. Iran gets what Iran wants. That’s Obamas #1 priority. Always has been. An Islamic world paradise that kills anyone resisting its dogma. You know, like democrats.
They were given to the Iranians by the traitors running this country...
when sotero was faux-president I recall Iran shot down or somehow got two of our drones.
Is it technically possible they have reverse engineered them?>
The Iranians own obama, the VC owned Ted Kennedy.
Would this have anything to do with US drone Obama gifted the Iranians a few years back. The one that just happened to fly from Afghanistan into Iranian airspace. Do we all remember that?
Iran’s now-booming war drone industry was a gift from Obama.
Yes, that’s the same one that they refused to self-destruct / destroy before capture.
The situation is similar to the Pearl Harbor fiasco. In coming zeros thought to be bomber flight from states
I'm going to go out on a limb here and raise the not-implausible possibility that it WAS a U.S. drone that either malfunctioned or was hacked by someone in Syria.
Another one of Obummer’s “gifts” to Iran.
That sounds a little like Pearl Harbor and the fateful decision to ignore radar returns because it was assumed to be B-17s coming in from California..
Mistaken for a US (Suicide) drone.
The Hillary Mod.
Is it technically possible they have reverse engineered them?

Were they approaching stern first?
Translation: The US base troops didn’t see the Iranian drone before it exploded.
“But bigger picture, we’re shooting down these $30,000-40,000 drones with $2-3 million missiles – it’s not sustainable, and from my position as the chairman of military readiness, we’re going to be pressing the Pentagon, how are we reacting when you can throw thousands of these things at very little cost – can literally buy them on Chinese websites, like Alibaba…”
This is the problem in a nutshell.
Could it be that we forgot to train those involved in the tech needed here and instead made them go to some sort of sex training classes?
