#1 I heard that Bambi blocked the US Military's request to bomb the downed drone right after it crashed. Way to go big O.

#3 DO you seriously think they can copy the technology. A simple variant will emerge with aspects of the drone and a huge leap forward for Iranian drone capabilities. Thats the good news.
That they sold every aspect of it to Russia and China, and that they willl not only replicate our sate-of-the-art in their drones, but they will exploit the identified vulnerabilities in what we operate now in collections ops against their interests. (Anybody else note the Seychelles connections of PLA basing and drone crashes?)
