US Army Loses MQ-1C Gray Eagle Over Iraq

The American army lost a reconnaissance drone over Iraqi territory. As reported by Iraqi news agency BurathanewsThe UAV crashed northwest of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.

According to an Iraqi news agency, an American MQ-1C Gray Eagle reconnaissance drone crashed northwest of Baghdad. According to agency sources, the cause of the fall drone, with a high probability, is a hacker attack carried out to intercept its control. The likelihood of a hacker attack is indirectly confirmed by the pictures of the device, which did not receive serious damage during the fall, except for broken rear wings and a propeller.

The American reconnaissance drone did not receive serious damage when it fell. This fact may indicate that the drone was hacked and, as a result, was planted on the ground.

- leads the news agency to the word sources.

According to some sources, the Iranian military could have been involved in the “landing” of the UAV from an Iranian military base located near the site of the fall of the MQ-1C Gray Eagle, using the 1L22M Avtobaza-M executive radio intelligence system. According to other sources, the drone could be damaged by the fire of the 23-mm anti-aircraft installation.

The agency’s image clearly shows the side number of the fallen drone - 52187, confirming that it belongs to the US Army. The drone is currently handed over to the Iraqi security forces.

According to some sources, the Iranian military from an Iranian military base located near the crash site of the MQ-1C Gray Eagle, using the 1L22M Avtobaza-M executive electronic intelligence system, could have been involved in the "landing" of the UAV.

Well that's all. The act of "aggression", as they say "on the face". You don't even need to shake the test tube.
Still, the Germans and the French will sail to defend the interests of the Yankes and Britons. NATO, it will "force".

Not enough to swim.

so this .. Americans are already there.
I wonder where Iraq will hand over this booty

[Honest Citizen]

Really on "Yula" or "Avito" put up?

[Alex777]

A trifle, but how nice: another Pentagon flew in for another $ 200.

[yehat]

something does not pull this UAV for such an amount

[Alex777]

Ask how much the first one was brought down by the Iranians.
And for what money drones of India offered.
They are 2-3 times more expensive than the F-35 in the United States.

[yehat]

what should I do, I’ll figure it out without your help
and this is another type of UAV.

[Alex777]

Clarified himself. You are right - this one costs only $ 22 million. Joy is 500 times less.

Daredevil, where are you all knowing Joe?

[Grigory_45]

the UAV MQ-1C Gray Eagle in the amount of 1 piece is worth $ 8 million. Full set (control center and 4 UAVs) - 90 million
Joy even less? ..))

[Alex777]

Firstly, you are in a good mood. No matter why. )))
Secondly, I really divided 90,5 million into 4 (approximately).
After all, the money spent, and the effectiveness of the kit decreased by a quarter. Something like this.
And in general, the less weapons partners have, the better IMHO.

[vargo]

You have a very strange way of talking. If it’s soft.

So this is probably behind the complex, not the glider.

[yehat]

or torchikha - depending on the gender of the creature named Sasha.

[PalBor]

I think the IRGC. If they were imprisoned with the help of Avtobaza, then it is either they or the Shiite militia under the control of the Iranians. I wouldn't be surprised if they share it with Russia. There was a precedent.

[Rwmos]

Although with the same probability it can be said that the handles on the tripods grow out of the bogie, and the brains did not even spend the night - take the RECONSTRUCTION apparatus for 30 lyamov a thing that is absolutely not protected from interception of control. With that. that by definition it should fly where it will be intercepted ...
Darwin was wrong. Not a man descended from a monkey, but a monkey descended from an American. And then a man)))

where did you get the information that is not protected?

[Rwmos]

From the mattress out

[Grigory_45]

do mattresses talk to you? Pillows and sofas too?

If you are about Americans, then they never spoke. that their drones are a worthless threshing floor that differs from cheap Chinese drones only by a sky-high price. Link will be?

[Vladimir Nizhegorodsky]

And it was not necessary to fly was not over their territory.
And they would not intercept him.

Yeah, and you don’t need to breathe either, that you are in grade 5 e with you ??? At that time in the USSR I was thinking of NK about how to breathe and what to smell and how to live in case the whole elite will dump zzzzz jerks in what century do you live with huge 450 C turbines! ???

[BAI]

It is a pity that I did not reach Iran.

[Vladimir Nizhegorodsky]

It’s a pity that they did not give it to us.
Or China.
Well, to the extremes of Iran.

[rocket757]

Fell and fell, and now fortune-telling on "guts", why and who is to blame ??? yes any malfunction and truncated.

[g1washntwn]

That's what it means to recruit UAV operators from computer clubs. This is not a bunker with tanks.

this is unlikely. The motor depot is not capable of these actions, it is a complex passive locations. Regarding the fallen UAV, there is a chance of an accident due to loss of control without external influence

[thinker]

in the fall did not receive serious damage

So in 2015, neatly "fell" in Iraq

Then everything is clear - the first was sold on Alibaba and received an order for the second

Our Iranians are probably training in a quiet ..)))) Recently, I remember in Israel GPS began to twist ..

[Professor]

According to some sources, the Iranian military from an Iranian military base located not far from the crash site of the MQ-1C Gray Eagle could have been involved in the "landing" of the UAV. They used the system. According to some sources, the Iranian military with military base located near the crash site of the MQ-1C Gray Eagle, using the system executive radio intelligence 1L22M "Avtobaza-M". According to other sources, the drone could have been damaged by the fire of a 23-mm anti-aircraft gun.

System executive electronic intelligence? Well, well.
We will not discuss the fact that the system is passive and cannot prevent anyone in any way ...

PS
Captured a pilot?

[zollstab]

Took, put on a contentment and identified the driver of the minibus Gazelle-nekst, 122 route Uryupinsk. Come come for a ride Professor!

[Dechterev]

there what was written on it was Mahmoud here? Why such conclusions are not clear.
again, the opinion of the non-names of the news stackers is set as the only true one?

[cyborg]

The Americans have a lot of drones. One more, one less - small loss ...

[Andrey Gurenkov]

Well no. They have expensive toys

[Andrey Gurenkov]

Redeem the wreckage !!!

[Mwg]

You can’t refuse subtle irony to those who called the electronic warfare system Autobase.
Another UAV went to the "car depot")))

loshara who believes in it. Motor depot - PASSIVE RTR complex. It is clear now?

[Mwg]

AAAA, loshara himself))))

[sagitch]

Happy Air Force Day forum users who served in the air force.

[Evil echo]

Who cares who planted it, let Alibaba plant a slingshot from a camel. The main thing to share with us is not forgotten.

[Rus_Balt]

Probably, it would not be possible to agree with Iraq to transfer / sell UAVs for study, analysis and criticism to our specialists.
