#1 Now the question is 'did we tag it for tracking?'. Send in a follow up drone to destroy the evidence and new owners.

#2 I really hope they're mistaken. Because Fox says it's a STEALTH drone, and landed intact. That has to be 10times worse than the Helicopter tail.

#8 Ala TOPIX > IRAN = says a mighty "NO" to any + all Foreign Mil Presence in Afghanistan after 2014.

* SAME > EXPERTS: IRAN CAPTURE OF STEALTH DRONE NO WORRY.

> The RQ-170 is likely in Milyuhns + Dilyuhns of pieces since it was shot down from high altitude.
> It will be very hard = all but impossible for Iran to "reverse engineer" + replicate the drone's stealth technology + internal sys.

And thus, Virgina, we once again re-learn why God invented YOU-GOT-THE-MONEY-WE-GOT-THE-TIME BLACK MARKET ENGINEERS!

[WEST SURPRISE/SHOCK AT APPEARANCE OF SOVIET T-34 = WW2, MIG-15 = 1950-53 Korean War, + K-19 MISSLE SUB here].

* SAME > AFGHANISTAN NEEDS [International]FINANCIAL SUPPORT UNTIL 2024.
