Re: Iran's latest acquisition.
commentary I read indicated that if they had successfully jammed it, then it would have fallen in a spiral leaf floaty fashion.... doesnt really explain the lack of damage...

Unless they didn't "jam" it but took control of it.commentary I read indicated that if they had successfully jammed it, then it would have fallen in a spiral leaf floaty fashion.... doesnt really explain the lack of damage...
Re: Iran's latest acquisition.
Note you cannot see the underside. Me thinks much damage. Being discussed by People Who Know These Things is that it probably suffered a malfunction of the INS combined with failure of the GPS updating - the UAV may have flown to a waypoint, then started circling trying to re-acquire a GPS fix to update the INS. Craft keft circling until it ran out of fuel and glided in the same circling spiral till it basically belly landed. That'd be a long way short of Iran gaining control and landing the airframe.
