Didn't the Iranians recover a US Drone about 10 or 11 years ago?

YEP!
On 5 December 2011, an American Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was captured by Iranian forces near the city of Kashmar in northeastern Iran. ... The United States government initially denied the claims but later President Obama acknowledged that the downed aircraft was a US drone.

Very Interesting Hummmm! ...and on President Obama's watch too.....

#2 President Obama's watch too

The US military located it first and begged Obama for permission to destroy it. Momma Valerie and her boy decided their Iranian homies needed a nice gift, stealth packaging and all. A few years after that, the Iranians, Chinese and Russians began deploying GPS guided UAVs.

In addition, by not destroying the drone, Obama also gave the Iranians, Chinese and Russians advanced electro-optic surveillance equipment, probably a miniaturized AESA radar, multi-spectral and radiation sensors, miniaturized satellite communications and other things beyond my ken. Traitor. Spit.

#3 Not to mention a miniaturized jet engine perfect for stealthy attack and recon UAVs.

#4 The record of 'precision strikes' hasn't changed much in motivation or heading of most regimes and cults. Bombing the f* out of Germany and Japan had the effect of ending hundreds of years of militarism inherit in the culture. Just saying. Maybe someday they'll get back to waging war and not the ineffective substitute for it.
