US blames Iran after drone is downed in Yemen! I mean, is iran really that capable to fight back american technology?

Mugin16 · 46-50, M
Yes, they are. They downed an American drone back in 2011 and have certainly analysed and copied the American drone technology.

@Mugin16 that was smart
Mugin16 · 46-50, M
@Thezehra Yes, it was.

However this drone in Yemen was shot down with a surface to air missile.
They got enough money to fund terrorists.. chase a nuclear programme.. I’d say they can afford a few jets n drones..
Putin and China prolly slip them their old stuff half price each time they upgrade.

The funny thing is.. my man trump would snap up that contract in a heart beat.. better the USA getting rich of them getting weapons 🤣

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout That you would actually repeat that nonsense is testament to your complete and utter detachment from reality.

I worry for you Aussie , I really do.

The U.S. shouldn’t be in Yemen anyway. All the U.S. government is doing is supporting the Saudi led genocide there.

If the U.S. does not want its drone shot down over Yemen, then it should not fly them over Yemen. Simple as that.

its a fuckign drone... you can down a drone with a net
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@CynicGirl I'm pretty sure it's a bit larger than a toy drone

Ofcourse they can, drones aren't magical bullet proof birds.
Yes they do. They are allies with countries like Russia and China who have air defense systems that can do this easily. That being said there are alot of different kinds of drones. There are small recon drones that look like toy planes I played with as a kid that fly low and relatively slow and could be shot out of the sky pretty easily.

Shooting down a drone is often relatively easy, depends on the model.

Edit: This is an MQ-9. It's not stealthy, and is easy fodder for just about any halfway-modern air defense system.

To put things in perspective:

"Also on Wednesday, Human Rights Watch said the Saudi-led coalition carried out at least five deadly attacks on Yemeni fishing boats last year, killing at least 47 Yemeni fishermen, including seven children.

The New York-based group added that more than 100 Yemeni fishermen are being held in Saudi Arabia, some of whom have been tortured in custody."

Iran buys most of their weapons from Russia and China, so they have good technology available.

Wouldn’t matter cause they’re stubborn enough regardless
Shooting down a drone isnt that difficult

@Dianna Iran is a country with enough recourses to buy and develop technology.
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
There's really nothing to worry about. Iran doesn't really have that much friends to back them up. Plus Tariffs on oil.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@FreestyleArt Sanctions, not tariffs. A very different scenario.

And there is definitely something to worry about - we actually don't want a major flare-up with Iran, even if we'll certainly win in the end.
Very capable! I think they would still get obliderated in an all out war but they are certainly a force to be reckoned with!
firefall · 61-69, M
it's not hard to knock down drones, they're pretty fragile - that's kind of the point , to be cheap, unmanned and easily replaced

Why do you think about fighting? War is disaster and ofcourse USA is much more powerful then Iran.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
Sure, it's not like drones are this super secret technology that only the US has access to.
Iran is just asking to become a hole in the map
