RQ-170 footage released

You are correct. I have no answers to gibberish. Everything you said have been addressed before. If you are serious about debating this, look up those past comments/explanations and give us your own comments/explanations base on extensive personal experience with them. Else...

a drone will never land in enemy territory, neither by it's AI or operator, this is a fact you can't deny. so all system failure scenarios are dismissed.

@gambit Sorry to bother you again, but about the RQ-170 the landing gears looks like the t-6 texan. Does it provide a safe (or cheap) structural advantage of the aircraft? What advantages and disadvantages does these types of landing gear has. Thank you and cheers.

No way to tell. The Texan's main landing gears retracts laterally. The RQ's retracts in the longitudinal or fore/aft. And for the flying wing, not much room for anything other than the bicycle configuration.

This gambit is actually being serious, I actually though he was joking.

You are talking to a guy who thinks something with mass "m" falling from 40-45000 feet will loose it's wings in perfect symmetry and no other damages.

Free fall? nobody is talking about free fall, RQ-170 has the capability to auto rotate, there is a clear "stitch" line between wings and fuselage which make it a weak point

From looking at this aircraft it uses old techniques to neutralize the aerodynamic problems. This is one weird aircraft I have to say. Sorry for reviving this thread .

I was wondering what this photo was about till today they put a caption on it.

tracking RQ-170 by RG defense in 1388=2010

they have worked one year to prepare an ambush for it's capture.

also in full version of "hunt of Tabas" documentary Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said ,Ayub was flying 400km in Israel air space not 70. he added "we and so Hezbollah knew the position of Israel optical cameras installed on discovery balloons, so i guess Hezbollah has chosen that flight path on purpose to give Zionists a message."
i guess we have to wait for ayub footage too.

They should actually post a video of the footage of tracking the drone. Not a pic of a blob.
