And nothing of value was lost that day.
Except lots of money.
Not to mention they could sell that **** to Russia or China which I'm the US doesn't want.

Yes, a ****ton of money and plenty of secrets they could gain to make their own super advanced drone, pft, whatever man. That's totally nothing of value.
I'm being sarcastic.
Man America should really just give up on stealth, it's not like they're famous for subtlety.
Their only successful MO is to run in guns blazing shouting USA USA USA.
That's how it has to be.

I'll be honest and say it would not surprise me if Iran, Russia, and other foreign countries have spy drones of their own. Assuming that is the case, I imagine they'll just use the captured aircraft to make a slightly better one, maybe. I don't think that craft carries with it the tactics and secrets of the US. Now if that thing can give them access codes to mainframes of, say, the Army or FBI, then we have a problem. Otherwise, I seriously doubt this will be that big of a blow to the US, save for an embarrassing "nut shot" to their pride.
Gee, really? I didn't think my feeble boozed up brain could have figured it out.

Last time I checked Iran has nowhere near the level of sophistication in drones that we have, ie, they could possibly make a drone as advanced as the one we lost, which btw is ****ing invisible to radar. Kind of a problem.
But still try to defend claiming "nothing of value" was lost while everyone else continually brings their palm to their face.

Really? I wasn't aware you knew of Iran's assets in terms of what technology they wield. How on Earth did you get that kind of info?
Indeed, I shall, and the sooner you learn I'm more stubborn than a mule, the sooner you can stop face-palming til your complexion goes completely red.

America destroyed the Brits using guerrilla warfare.
Claire Diviner

Wow, you're talking way back in the day. I mean, before the U.S. was the U.S. (I think). Still, doesn't really stop you from being right, though I don't think they use that same tactic today, since the metagame of war has indeed evolved. Now it's more about who has the better "toys", not to mention the U.S. is too big a country to ever consider going guerrilla... unless some rogue civilians decide to take matters into their own hands.

A guerrilla war these days means going to war without telling anyone and basically keeping the operation a "secret".

Oh, right, I forgot even the rules of guerrilla warfare evolves. Still, I like to view guerrilla warfare by its original meaning.

Well played, sir. You've certainly proven your point.
Right over 200 years ago when they were still basically just pissed off Englishmen who wanted their own land.

Back when war involved standing in lines...
They were relatively subtle when they funded the arms for the Indonesian military when they invaded East Timor and committed genocide back in the 70s. There was no media coverage on it.
Wasn't them that actually did it though.
But it was still a corrupt act that they shielded from the public.
A lot of America's corruption has been exposed thanks to things like Wikileaks, but who knows what the ratio of exposed to unexposed corruption actually is.

I hope for their sake it's a lot of shielded corruption.

It's called reverse engineering, you should google it!
Iranians aren't uneducated prostitute loving gambling addicts whose only wealth came from oil like arabs so they're a bit more of an adversary than America's middle eastern targets so far.

Which is why America hasn't touched them.
We only fight people we think we're capable of pillaging without home losses. i don't think Iran would have a problem sending missiles to the US.

Then again, looking at americas BLATANT attempts to provoke Iran [I heard they also tried to propagate a faked case of the iranian ambassador in the USA having plans to assasinate arabian high-degree politicians a month or two ago] I'm not sure who would be first to pull the trigger. At the moment I'm actually feeling like the USA is more likely to be first because of their desperate attempts to weaken the iran's position, to which the Iran has reacted rather calmly tbh.
[Really, if somebody were to fake such a case about an US-ambassador I'd expect the USA to react a lot more harshly].
