Ahmadinejad: Iran has 'been able to control' U.S. drone - Polidicks

[QUOTE](CNN) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that his country has "been able to control" the U.S. drone that Iran claims it recently brought down, Venezuelan state TV reported. [b]"There are people here who have been able to control this spy plane," Ahmadinejad told VTV. "Those who have been in control of this spy plane surely will analyze the plane's system. Furthermore, the systems of Iran are so advanced also, like the system of this plane."[/b] Ahmadinejad did not elaborate or specify what precisely he meant when he referred to people "who have been able to control" the drone. He spoke in Farsi, which VTV translated into Spanish. The Farsi portion of the interview was not audible. President Barack Obama said Monday that the United States has asked Iran to return the drone aircraft that Iran claims it recently brought down in Iranian territory. "We've asked for it back. We'll see how the Iranians respond," Obama said. [b]Ahmadinejad's comments to VTV seemed to suggest that Iran did not plan to return the aircraft. "The North Americans at best have decided to give us this spy plane," Ahmadinejad said. "In the unpiloted planes, we have had many advances, much progress and now we have this spy plane :v: ."[/b] Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said the drone no longer belongs to Washington. [b]"The U.S. spy plane is among the assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran," Vahidi told reporters Tuesday, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency. "Our country will decide what to do with it."[/b] The United States owes Iran an apology and needs to admit its crime, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Tuesday, the Iranian Students' News Agency report. "The U.S. should know that what it did regarding violation of our air space can put international peace and security in danger," he said. "The U.S. should take responsibility for the consequences of the measure." American officials have not confirmed that the drone shown in a video released last Thursday by Iranian media is a U.S. aircraft. But Pentagon spokesman George Little has said that an American drone is missing and had not been recovered. Two U.S. officials have confirmed to CNN that the missing drone was part of a CIA reconnaissance mission that involved both the intelligence community and military personnel stationed in Afghanistan. Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency said the country's armed forces had downed the drone near Kashmar, some 225 kilometers (140 miles) from the border with Afghanistan on December 4. The Ahmadinejad interview was aired in Venezuela Monday night.[/QUOTE] Source: [url]http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/13/world/meast/iran-spy-plane/index.html?hpt=hp_t2[/url]

So we meet again 240p.

U.S. should take responsibility for its action by blowing the plane and the facility housing it off the planet :v:

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;33704752]Haven't they explicitly said that the drone was low-tech? :v:[/QUOTE] [B]ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY![/B] [img]http://www.speedydelivery.co.uk/images/rc_plane.jpg[/img]

Oh so you managed to control something you don't even have the tech to make? Yeah. No.

It's a little surveillance craft, not a experimental Avenger or something. I mean, yes, it might be more advanced tech than they currently have. But it's like stealing and old football someone kicked into your yard and claiming you know all the secrets of the game.

[QUOTE=Canuhearmenow;33704314]They really are puffing themselves up over catching one reconnaissance drone, aren't they.[/QUOTE] Well the US military does pride themselves on how advanced they are and for Iran to capture a piece of it is probably something there quite proud of.

Watch it US, they know their shit. They found a Floppy Disk with the blueprints for an ICBM.

[QUOTE=Canuhearmenow;33704314]They really are puffing themselves up over catching one reconnaissance drone, aren't they.[/QUOTE] Reminds me of the time back in 2008 when they launched a couple of missiles to demonstrate their strike capabilities, and then Photoshopped a couple extra ones in to make it seem more intimidating.:v: [url]http://mg.co.za/article/2008-07-11-altered-images-iran-launch-photos-doctored[/url] [img]http://elliottback.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/photoshop-01.jpg[/img]

Basically Iran is a kid that has been shut out of play-time by the bigger kids and now that he has one of their toys, he's saying "Haha motherfucker, we got your plane and we're not going to give it back! What are you going to do now? See us and despair, we have your plane!" ...when all the other neighborhood kids had these toys long before him.

Ahmadinejad best troll of 2011.

They're just mad they don't have modern technology like the rest of the world does.

Iran is getting such a big dick about this, all they did was trick it into landing. There's no way they can fly it at range unless they chase it with a jamming station and a ground radio.

US: "Activate nuclear self-destruct"

[QUOTE=Sharker;33705766]They're just mad they don't have modern technology like the rest of the world does.[/QUOTE] With that UAV, they'll be taking their first steps into Modern Warfare.
