Iran places the debris of the American Navy's MQ-4C Triton spy drone which had earlier been shot down by IRGC inside Iranian airspace.

their development in AA is not a joke for those downplaying it.

no offence, but downing a propeller driven straight wing plane with no EW measures, is not difficult. It is a political decision... Even chinese didn't shot down

At least do a little research before making a fool out of yourself.

Propeller driven? RQ-4 is a jet powered UAV that flies at very high altitude. As for it not having EW capability, the UAV was equipped with Raytheon AN/ALR-89 self-protection suite.

Does displaying the debris means that the drone entered Iranian airspace and hence it was not flying over the international airspace?

That people's plane uses Rolls Royce AE-3007 turbo fan engine that provide 8500lbs of trust
It's your propeller driven engine

For comparison a j-85 in f-5 even won't produce half that power .and RD-93 in Jf-17 provide 11000lbs of trust

It's a prototype of still in production MQ-4. so it's safe to say it was a MQ-4.

propeller driven

LOL ... go home kid !

At least use Google before typing...

@Hack-Hook @SOHEIL @WinterNights I thought it was reaper or predator so said propeller... by EW I meant jamming pod or flares/chaffs etc... anyway, Main idea was shooting down slow speed and less maneuverable air craft compared to jets isn't a big feat but political will... M1 tank use jet turbine, so what the point...

You see there is difference about gas turbine in M1 and a jet engine.
