Iran makes its own unmanned drone bomber

[hal2kilo]

I agree, it's only a matter of time.

Unless they develop look down radar with terrain mapping aided by GPS/IMU technology to allow it to fly nape of the earth, it will probably get shot down. Also, the range will be limited until they also develop extremely efficient jet turbine technology.

Looks kind of the Wily Coyote level tech right now. Oh course that's what the said about the space shuttle.

I think you lost them at look down radar.

Looks like a toy.

Why is the GOP so scared of rinky-dinky toys when we spend $500bn/year on bad-ass weapons?

Why are liberals scared of AR-15's?

Because our laser weapons aren't yet fully developed and deployed.

This pic doesn't look much like a toy:

It DOES however bear a striking resemblance to a modern-day V-1.

R/C plane with bombs attached to it with something that releases them.
And they didn't say anything about sensors and communications. Which means it's just an rc plane with a webcam strapped to it.

Awww, the little baby rocket with the range of a Toyota Prius is making the GOPee their pants.

I think they fear the implications of what could be evolved from this rather than the device itself. Just because you have zero capacity to see beyond what is right in your face doesn't mean everyone is so dense.

More like "oh crap, did we leave the iron on?" at the moment.

It's too small for Slim Pickens to ride. I'll worry when that happens.

True.. it would suck for them to seek revenge.. stop fucking with everyone in the world and pissing them off... you can only bully so many before they strike back..

I agree on both countries you reference

A cruise missile that carries cruise missiles? Wha? And 4 of them?

Yo dawg! I heard you like cruise missiles so I put some cruise missiles on your cruise missiles?

Bwahah, I jsut thought of that.

Don't you mean Flesh Gordon?

Classic comedy porn lol. Is that you Flexy Jerkoff?

Man ... you guys are old

"The 4-meter-long drone aircraft can carry up to four cruise missiles and will have a range of 620 miles (1,000 kilometers), according to a state TV report — not far enough to reach archenemy Israel."

Every day its something new in that area. Only a matter of time before a major catastrophe.

Yup.

Those missiles are designed to drop Brown-25 from Uranus.

Actually with the cardboard cutout clouds in front, sky tarp in back, and people standing around, it looks like a decent first grade diorama. If I were Principal Skinner I'd give it 3rd place in a diorama contest.

Which means it still ends up in the trash! LOL

Be afraid, be very afraid.

It'll probably get stuck in a tree.

To be honest...what is Iran thinking with this? You don't try to beat the "West" with technology...you're playing the wrong card. Israel or any other western country will come up with something to detect and shoot this down before it even takes off the ground.
