I recognise that dispersal and it's not in Iran!
I suspect they have either stolen some footage from some idiot that has put on the internet (or stored it on their personal laptop!) or they have tapped into the Full Motion Video feed (which should have been encrypted). Or it could be some footage from the hold-up memory on the aircraft (which should have been zeroised) - that's a good lesson if it hasn't been!
Either way, they did not have control of the aircraft. It is not the feed from the satellite as it is line-of-sight. There's also no parametric data on the feed, so I wonder if they picked up a faulty feed from the aircraft?
Not exactly earth shattering and it could have been the ROVER feed from a targetting pod from a manned aircraft just as easily.
