An unmanned drone aircraft crashed into the mountains of central Iran on Sunday, according to a Reuters news service report out of Tehran. The aircraft’s origin has not been determined yet by Iranian officials, but we bet they have some pretty strong suspicions. Iranian media have claimed that US has been flying surveillance missions over Iran ever since American forces began using UAVs over Afghanistan. They say the US is using them to spy on Iran’s nuclear efforts, mostly located (we think) in the central region.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
