US fighter pilot shot down by Iran describes alarming ‘jellyfish’ drones before crash: ‘Real alien s–t’

New York Post reports:

A US pilot who was rescued after his plane was shot down in Iran chillingly recalled being swarmed by Iranian drones that moved together in unison in a jellyfish-like formation.

“Multiple drones interconnected and moving as one with smaller drones below the bigger drones like legs,” one of the sources familiar with the pilot’s witness account told CNN.

“Real alien s–t,” the source added.

It’s called Asymmetric warfare. Where smaller countries such as Ukraine use their knowledge and technical expertise to defend and retaliate against a much bigger opponent by using smaller cheaper more cost effective resources to disable the opponents bigger more expensive weapons.

Ukraine builds its own kamikaze drones which cost about $1000 each and can fly up to 1000 kms to bomb strategic oil storage plants. They have successfully bombed oil storage in St Petersburg and in the Russian occupied areas of the Crimean peninsula with great effect. Ukraine drones are like a much much cheaper version of a US Army Predator drone. They are remote controlled by Ukraine gamers who are used to flying in online battle conditions.

Iran does exactly the same thing against the US. Iran has been contracting Ukraine drone warfare specialists to teach it how to fight drone style warfare successfully against US $35 million jets and Multi billion dollar destroyers with great success. It knows it only has to knock ships out of action as opposed to actually blowing them up to be effective.

So Russia buys oil and drones off Iran. Iran uses that money for its war against the US. China also buys oil off Iran and provides intelligence. Iran has also used Russian intel for its drone attacks against US bases in the Middle East.
@justanothername Exactly.

No surprise. It's like a drone show for July Fourth or New Years. Hundreds of drones swarming into shapes and words.
@Crazywaterspring …unless Kegsbreath has his pilots dropping acid before fly in’…. /S
