Iran displays "shot down" drone on TV

Iran releases video of downed U.S. spy drone?looking quite intact | The Envoy - Yahoo! News

that is the cleanest, most un-damaged, shotdown/crashed aircraft I have ever seen.

I didn't know Revell built models that big

In any case they need some kind of display to account for those recent "accidents" with the nuke program.

Is it inevitable that bombs will be dropping over Iran within a year's time maybe even 6 months from now?

Yes, but not from US aircraft. Think about it.

Rumor is they brought it down by infecting the drone by a virus and intercepting it by means of alternate control of the drone. They essentially stole it.

Any drone pilots on the forum?

Is it me, or does the drone in their photos just look rather poorly made and not nearly the quality/fit/finish you would expect from a Lockheed or other American DoD contractor product? No paint or markings on the aircraft either...just seems fishy to me.
