Pentagon release images U.S P8 aircraft of Iran shot down RQ-4A Global Hawk drone UAV

This is the same P8 that Iran was referring to. It had also violated Iran's airspace. Iran could have shot this one down too but didn't:

Looks like the yanks pusseyed out!

this land can convert your country into nuclear waste land.....much better than your sewage/slum country....

Actually you are the real lossers ....
Dreaming day and night of defeating USA.
Even a mentally challenged inbred losser does not do that 24/7....

Your excitement is duly noted but you are in for a rude awakening if USN is given the green light to act.

Then USN must be ready for ALL ships IN the PG to sink to the bottom. If you dunno thats facts, then you've confirmed you dont live in reality.

Dude, if this was so easy...

Houthi have also shot down American UAV (armed ones) but when they challenged USN as a force, it turned out much different for them and they lost their coastal defenses in the process.

I am telling you guys in good faith, do not make a big deal out of shooting down a virtually defenseless UAV, it proves nothing.

Be humble and try to de-escalate. US have all the time in its hands to torment Iran now. Try to understand.

IRAN AND TRUMP ON THE EDGE OF THE ABYSS

Difference is the RQ-4 was flying at 52,000 ft according to Iran, it's not exactly comparable with the Houthi shootdown.

As for defences:

"The Global Hawk is also equipped with the Raytheon AN/ALR-89 self-protection suite, which consists of the AN/ALR-90 pulsed Radar Warning Receiver (RWR), the AN/AVR-3 Laser Warning System, AN/APR-49 Radar Warning Receiver, a jamming system, and the AN/ALE-50 towed decoy."

As for your last point, I think Iran should definitely make a big deal out of it, but de-escalate nonetheless. This is nothing less than a victory, so Iran would do well to de-escalate to keep that victory. Looks like Trump has already chickened out though.

This is exactly what i said about your US military theories and assertions that sound and read good but are also unrealistic(just like your comment about USN ship USS mason : "has good history in warfighting" in regard to it ONLY evading few cruise missiles from Houthis). you exaggerate too.

Houthi have also shot down American UAV (armed ones) but when they challenged USN as a force, it turned out much different for them and they lost their coastal defenses in the process.

Iran is 100X stronger than Houthis so sorry, you are doing apples and oranges comparison here. US has kept the aircraft carrier till now out of the PG because it knows Iran can knock it out.

I am telling you guys in good faith, do not make a big deal out of shooting down a virtually defenseless UAV, it proves nothing.

No one is. Only reason its new is because it takes political and military bravery, which many countries lack.

Be humble and try to de-escalate. US have all the time in its hands to torment Iran now. Try to understand.

Go tell that to the US. No, Iran has all the time on its hands, and the "moral justification" to go after all US assets in the area- too many targets. Iran can take damage. Can US? NO, thats why US doesnt want to attack. Trump just choked.

I have repeatedly pointed out in different posts that this was an impressive kill, and a high-end SAM system was involved.

According to an Iranian military official, Third of Khordad and Bavar-3 are among the best of Iran's AD capabilities.

As for defences:

"The Global Hawk is also equipped with the Raytheon AN/ALR-89 self-protection suite, which consists of the AN/ALR-90 pulsed Radar Warning Receiver (RWR), the AN/AVR-3 Laser Warning System, AN/APR-49 Radar Warning Receiver, a jamming system, and the AN/ALE-50 towed decoy."

This UAV is/was RQ-4A BAMS-D model.

FYI: https://theaviationist.com/2019/06/...-shot-down-by-iran-over-the-strait-of-hormuz/

Nobody knows for sure what kind of payload it was carrying when it was struck, theoretical payload like the one you mentioned do not count.

Also, expecting a HALE to dodge an LR-SAM? Not exactly an evasive type.

De-escalation is the right course, and talks should be prioritized.

As for Donald Trump chickening out? Nothing suggest this is the case. Hate this guy but he is not war-mongering type and only he is preventing Pentagon from doing something about Iran. Trump's tweets since the start of this saga, are do not signal war-mongering but preference for talks.

However, I suspect that Pentagon is increasingly frustrated with Trump. USN cannot act without approval of POTUS, this would be a rogue move.

Was just pointing out that this shootdown and the Yemeni one aren't comparable, but in any case I haven't been very active on the forum lately. Twitter is better for high-quality information now.

Sure, but I hardly think they would leave such a high value asset defenceless.

True.

It's good that he's not the war-mongering type, but I would say he's chickening out due to his constant and ham-fisted use of brinkmanship.
