An unmanned drone aircraft crashed into the mountains of central Iran on Sunday, according to a Reuters news service report out of Tehran. The aircraft’s origin has not been determined yet by Iranian officials, but we bet they have some pretty strong suspicions. Iranian media have claimed that US has been flying surveillance missions over Iran ever since American forces began using UAVs over Afghanistan. They say the US is using them to spy on Iran’s nuclear efforts, mostly located (we think) in the central region.
U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortresses continued a busy bomber task force deployment to Europe by participating in multiple drills with NATO partners last week, including simulated weapons targeting exercises and a live munitions drop in Finland.
