| #16 It would be pretty funny to get a video of the Iran UAV flying along and have a USAF Predator come up from behind and mount it |

| #15 In the picture, Short Round can hardly contain his glee. Wotta maroon. |

| #14 If it's remotely controlled, it's probably subject to jamming, or even hacking. |

| #13 With a Model Aircraft Kit + A modern phone (GPS + tilt + USB) plus this motor almost anyone could make a Cruise missile. |

| #12 It does look very like a V1. I even see a pulse jet engine in there. Anyone on here could make one for 1000 USD easily. |

| #11 The claim the drone is a sort of "mother ship" that carries 4 cruise missiles and then returns to its base. Sounds like a great way for Israel to attack Iran using the same sort of technology. No pilots to worry about. |

| #10 v=1 or v-2 they're 70 years behind. looks like they could have gotten the plans from a nazi along time ago since they where such bedroom buddies. |

| #9 I can imagine the meeting at Iran Aerospace Industries. "The Zionists have a long range UAV bomber and the Mullahs say we have to have one too." "That will take years of R&D and with the sanctions ..." "How about we take one of the old Nork rockets, bolt a dumb bomb to it and call it a long range bombing drone. Have a glitzy launch and press conference. Paint a few words from the Koran on the side. The Mullahs will be impressed. They don't know shit about technology." |

| #8 Looks like a rocket with a bomb hung beneath it to my inexpert eye. |

| #7 I for one, would like to know which companies sold them the electronics and parts being used in these rockets. |

| #5 Al, you forgot the 'Jinn' factor in its speed and stealthiness. |

| #4 Chris: Actually, they created a V-1 V-1. Notice that they claimed "long range at a high speed" but did not give any numbers. The look on this aircraft screams "non-stealthy subsonic". |
