Not an American source, of course, but you can almost picture the drone situation as being like a UFO landing in their back yard. Man your camels!
Sentinel: ridiculous claims continue
Posted: 14 Dec 2011 01:24 AM PST
The Iranians vowed to reverse-engineer and mass-produce the Sentinel RQ-170 drone they downed recently. That would be a major worry for Israel, but it remains impossible.
Iran is a country with utterly backward technology. For a decade it has been unable to master sixty-year-old nuclear technology, and has only begun to overcome these difficulties by buying technology from North Korea and Pakistan. Iran is not known to produce any advanced electronics or develop serious software. It is completely implausible that Iran could duplicate the thousands of advanced technologies needed for Sentinel production.
Even China is unlikely to accomplish that if Iran sends the drone there.
