That was quick! Iran ready to clone US drone

Iran is set to produce its own drones modeled on a US spy craft intercepted over its territory. Experts are at the final stages of decoding the US RQ-170 Sentinel drone and are to copy it using reverse engineering technology. Iranian lawmaker Parviz Sorouri, a member of parliament's national security and foreign policy committee, said the country has the capability to reproduce the drone, Iranian TV reports. If Iran successfully reverse-engineers the drone it will get access to high-tech secrets such as the chemical composition of the device's radar-deflecting paint or its sophisticated optics. Also, if the experts are able to hack the drone's database, they might recover data the US would not want revealed. However, such drones usually do not store much data and if they do, it is encrypted. Sorouri said that the information from the seized drone would be used to file a law suit against the US for the "invasion" by the unmanned aircraft.

If the tables were turned and Iran lost a spy plane in US territory, would the situation be any different. US foreign policy is what has created the friction between the two nations. If anything, the US invaded Iranian airspace, with Iran having every right to confiscate the property and file grievances. As usual, the US is acting with aggression toward sovereign foreign nations, but would hypocritically oppose other countries doing the same.
