🇮🇷 | The IRGC says it downed the Hermes-900 drone intact and fully armed using a ‘modern air defense system’ and is now under the control of aerospace experts and engineers for further examination.
Good point. I’m sure the F-15s the U.S. is flying today have been upgraded quite a bit from the 70s.
I’m thinking if someone had been able to take down F-15s in, say, 1995, the U.S. probably wouldn’t still be using them, or at least not using them in the same way.
