When Iran Shot Down $220 Million US RQ-4 Global Hawk #shorts

On June 19th 2019, $220 million US drone, known as RQ-4 global hawk, was flying in the Iranian air space, according to Iran. But according to U.S, the drone was 18 nautical miles away from Iran's border. Well, Northrop Grumman's RQ-4 global hawk is one of the most advanced surveillance drone in the inventory of U.S. Air Force. Global hawk can reach altitudes of 65,000 feet, more than B-2 stealth bomber and F-35 stealth fighter, and can exceed 30 hours of endurance, and 11,000 nautical miles in a single flight. The Downing took place over the straits of Hormuz, by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, with 3rd Khorad surface to air missile. The drone was launched from a US base south of the Persian Gulf shortly after midnight. It flew towards the Chabaahar city in southeast. While returning to the region, the drone violated Iran's airspace, and engaged in information gathering, and was shot down at 4:05 a.m. local time. Iran also said that a P-8 Poseidon with 38 people on board, also violated the airspace, and we were able to shot it down, but we did not! The Pentagon also confirmed the presence of P-8 Poseidon near the incident zone, and later President Donald Trump appreciated this decision of Iran.

I remember U.S shot down an Iranian airliner (Iran Air Flight 655 ) with 290 people on board killing all on International water.
Reason U.S gave, the airliner flying low was a threat to U.S warship on International water.
Imagine the mentality of people and U.S expressed no apology.

Iran has a right to defend its airspace.

Who's the REAL Terrorist‽‽‽
Spying, Instigating, Manipulating Countries all around the WORLD for their own GAINS

[ottoginafiel]

Compare Iran choosing not to shoot down the P8 Poseidon with 38 people aboard, to Israel knowingly attacking the USS Liberty.

*and the MEDIA called this: IRANIAN AGGRESSION.*

[eshamsapar]

[omidmorrovat]

[MdAslam-pjjo]

Iran is a much matured country unlike the US !😮😮❤

[lindarushton]

Iran demonstrating the type of fair play that the Americans and Israelis completely fail at.

[Dewati_P]

Pilots, Crews and Passengers lives on risk because of violation, Iran has right to defend its territories and people.

[lasagnasardine]

Could you imagine being the remote pilot of that drone. Not a good day at work. $220 million

[KellyBeaudry-hg]

So we spent millions on a spy plane and sent it to spy.
Iran shot it down, retrieved the pieces and learned a lot about how it's made, advancing their technology to a point equal or better to ours.
What did we learn this time?

[sriharshacv]

Iran has some common sense unlike many of their neighbors. That is how they survived. They know what they can hit and what they shouldn't.

[Shamir]

USA did not forget..rather believed the Iranian radars were not good enough to pick the drone when they violated the airspace..and they had a surprise..

[notajaxon]

As an American, I can confirm that our military equipment does forget where it is sometimes

[SuperBrainStorms]

There’s nothing more satisfying than learning how the government wisely expended your taxes /s

[MohamedMohamed-dyqo]

Just like when USA forgot $7 billions of military equipments in Afghanistan, and left the country in a hurry

[killerbee]
