MQ-4C "Triton" recon drone has been shot down by Iranian military forces
MQ-4 drone has been shot down, and that thing tells that the situation would be very tight in the Gulf area. The MQ-4C is the unmanned recon and combat support drone, and the loss of that system will not cause human casualties.
So this is why those drones are replaced the manned aircraft in many recon missions, and there is one thing, what is interesting in this shot-down case, and that is, that the flight-altitude, where the missile hit to the target is remaining in secret. Or of course, Iran might use EMP- or Laser weapons for shooting that drone down.
If the drone is used as a decoy, what mission is to collect the data from the Iranian air defense, that system would send the information of existing of that kind of weapons. And this helps Air Force plan it's operations more careful.
When fire control locks on that drone or its camera would notice the incoming missile or laser station, the system collects the data of that weapon aiming systems, and then sends that thing to the base. And those drones would finish their mission, even they are dropping from the skies.
The thing what makes this case really interesting is that there could be other drone losses around the world, but those losses have not reported. So if we would think about this kind of military philosophy, there is no need to even report drone losses, and this makes them suitable for the covert missions. Because there are no human losses, there is nobody who can uncover that mission, and prove the words.
When we are thinking carefully this kind of operation, we must remember, that some of those drones are meant for targets. Their mission is to collect the data of the enemy missiles homing routines and the radar signals, what the enemy uses to find and shoot the target.
