Iran repels US U2 reconnaissance plane

come on we have a super duper top Secret radar that can even count the number of hair on the head of the pilot.

Now I can believe that the PTV Report is 100% sure...Your Radars can take Photographic too Can I see some Pictures from the Snapshot of U2 from your Radars

U 2? You mean,seriously?

by the way I guess by calculating the amount of the signature reflected by the target and the altitude it fly and it's speed you can have some guess on what sort of Airplane it is after all it's not common to see a plane that fly at 20km of altitude and fly at the speed 500 miles specially this plane have a narrow range of headroom between stall speed and maximum speed at high altitudes (something less than 20km in older model and not to much more in newer generations)

Seriously, though...Iran's air defense radar is not precise enough to distinguish a U-2 from a TR-1. Even we have not gotten that far in field capability. However, it is not unreasonable to assume that based upon flight pattern, and if Iranian air defense have Jane's book on hand, that what Iranian air defense radar saw was something in the U-2 category. Not unreasonable at all.

But to say that somehow Iran 'repelled' US is ridiculous and mainly for internal consumption. We routinely flew SIGINT missions during the Cold War. The Soviets would warn and we would withdraw. Everybody record the event and studied it to see how far did the US got before the Soviets responded. Everybody took notice of air defense radar gaps, if any exists. If the Iranian members here really want to believe that Iran 'repelled' US, go for it. The USAF have a record of not caring what others believe what it could do. When the sh1t hit the fan, it will the USAF who controls the sh1t and the fan.

Yeah Sure , why not (But because you don't have enough clearance to see the picture that yous can count the hair on the head I had to reduce the resolution before showing it to you )

A senior Iranian commander says the country identified and repelled an American U2 reconnaissance plane that was trying to intrude into Iranian airspace above the Sea of Oman.


Commander of Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili said on Tuesday that the country’s air defense systems identified the radar-evading plane on 10.feb.2013 but it left the area after receiving a warning from Iran’s air-defense units.

“The US U2 plane was flying from Pakistan’s southwest to the east of the Sea of Oman and was being monitored by our radar and electronic surveillance systems every moment,” the Iranian commander said, adding that Iran’s Persian Gulf radar gave it a warning when it got close to iran's airspace above the Sea of Oman and southeast of the Strait of Hormuz.
he added today they are receding this type of aircraft's fly zone from our borders.

though impressive i must say americans have recently learned how to put melons under iranian armpits , and iran is definitely falling for it. (how to blow iran false self confidence)

 

[REHAN NIAZI FALCON]

Certainly i did,

Iran borders Afghanistan in N-E.This plane was detected near Sea of Oman.So unless you are saying that plane was enjoying picnic over Iranian airspace with IRAF playing a gracious host,it is impossible that the plane would have traversed whole length of Iran without being detected and with Iranian radars detecting it only after it is outside their airspace.(Additional information: U2 is not a stealth plane).

So practically either it flew through pakistan or from a pakistani airbase.

US has bases in oman , UAE etc so why u are raising ur dirty finger on us ,
keep ur trolls with u ....

i'm not an expert , but this sounds so fishy , this and the RQ drone were american gifts to iran
