Iran to show the so-called downed UAV RQ-170

According to the United States,” Defense News “website December 6, 2011 reported on December 4, Iran claimed it shot down an American Rock ? Lockheed Martin developed for the U.S. Air Force RQ-170 “sentinel” (Sentinel) stealth reconnaissance UAV, but the U.S. defense analysts and the U.S. Department of Defense officials say Iran’s highly suspect. In any case, the U.S. Air Force has declared that it works well on such UAV to maintain continuous control, but because it is about the UAV ground station lost contact with and eventually crashed in Iran to say, it raises whether for the military services have the ability to challenge.

in that shot down RQ-170 shortly after the Iranian government officials claimed that they are using some kind of electronic attack or cyber attacks, shot down the unmanned aircraft with a bat shape, but also The aircraft remained largely intact in the state of “recovery.” However, the Iranians have not shown evidence to support their claims. NATO (NATO) International Security Force in Afghanistan (ISAF) spokesman acknowledged a UAV in the “western Afghanistan” (Translator’s Note, which is located in western Afghanistan, Iran) to perform tasks missing, but refused to answer questions about the machine RQ-170 is a problem, saying only that “an operator who lost contact with it, we found no sign of the aircraft was shot down.” U.S. Department of Defense spokesman also gave the same answer.

U.S. Lexington Institute analyst Lauren ? Thompson (Loren Thompson) said that his understanding from all point of view, this loss of UAVs is indeed RQ-170; but he believes that Iran there is no way to detect people or shooting RQ-170. He said: “Iran is almost impossible shot down RQ-170, because the aircraft is stealth, so Iran’s air defense system can not find it; Iran uses aircraft shot down by a cyber-attacks is also very unlikely, because of the one from this. ” He said the RQ-170 is designed for the use of airspace in a confrontational, but this is the existence of land-based air defense airspace system threats, and are not as fleet of fighter jets patrol the air like a serious threat to western Afghanistan is such a the environment. He said the RQ-170 has with RQ-4 “Global Hawk” (Global Hawk) reconnaissance UAV similar to automatically return to its base lost contact (Return to Base, RTB) design, so it lost contact with the ground station after the should automatically return to the starting base, the final crash may be due to hardware or software on the machine malfunctioned, not because they were shot down.

Los ? Martin’s “Skunk Works” (Skunk Works) developed from the beginning of this century, “Sentinel.” According to information the disclosure of the Air Force, the aircraft currently located at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada (Creech Air Force Base) and the Tonopah test site (Tonopah Test Range) to use. Photo of 2010 aircraft near Kandahar in the Afghan capital was captured and released, then the U.S. Air Force acknowledged the existence of the machine.
