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?>

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?

The situation is similar to the Pearl Harbor fiasco. In coming zeros thought to be bomber flight from states

... the drone from an Iranian proxy that killed 3 American servicemembers 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.

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.

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.

“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.

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.

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?

Even if it were ours, just SHOOT IT DOWN. It was unmanned right?

un MAN ed drone? I mean un person ed drone?

Maybe we should check with the AI running our drones what their “preferred pronouns” are.

What happens when OUR AI drones decide that the fight is “not fair” and decide to even up the score a little.

The “Terminator” series is becoming reality.

It was a “THEM” drone. The new improved US military isn’t allowed to distinguish between a man or a woman……..why should an attack drone be any different?

Seems there was no IFF, the IFF codes were given to the Iranians or our military is now so incompetent because of DEI that they can’t keep track of our own drones and whether they are friendly or not. None of those options speaks well of our military and our civilian “leadership”.

Never believe the first reason they give you. The fault lies with human execution of the defense protocols and lazy leadership.
