" it only had to take off from Afghan and fly a couple of hundred kms to Iran"
And thats assuming it wasn't simply chucked out the back of a C-130 or C-17
the big question is...... is it an an Iranian fake or a CIA fake?"
I was going to put something about throwing it out the back of a Herc or C17
but then decided against it.
How is this for a scenario ? (Assuming the US C-130's can install the rollers in the back like we can on Aust C-130's.)
Load up the Drone on one of those pallets (like you load up a Zodiac Inflatable for a para load follow), explosive bolts on the pallet connected to an altimeter.
Push the whole thing out, Parachute opens (you hope, it gets very messy if they don't), the whole lot floats down, altimeter sets off explosive bolts so the pallet drops away, Drone still attached to parachute continues float down, at 20 feet or so, explosive bolts jettison the parachute and the device drops to earth, breaks the undercarriage thereby providing a few scratch marks on the belly to make it look like a semi crash landing.
Parachute blows off into the distance never to be seen again or connected to the drone.
Re " Iranian fake or a CIA fake"
Iran and the CIA are working together to dupe the world
Jesus, I sound like SAM
I think I better get my coat and Tin foil hat after that effort !
