Iran claims to shoot down U.S. spy drone
2007-01-17
TEHRAN, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Iranian troops have shot down a U.S. pilotless spy plane recently, an Iranian lawmaker announced on Tuesday as the Islamic Republic was facing increasing military pressure from its arch rival -- the United States.

The aircraft was brought down when it was trying to cross the borders "during the last few days," Seyed Nezam Mola Hoveizeh, a member of the parliament, was quoted by the local Fars News Agency as saying.

#7  They shot one down? Damn! Now I've gotta do another inventory. Was it 9V296J? 8N276T? 8V154K? Couldn't have been 9C251P - that one's been out of commission for a couple of days - hangar queens, ya know. Coulda been 7V912A - that bird's gettin' old. Or it coulda been one of Charlie Wright's units, up north. Or maybe the Brits had something flying...
