How Iran Hacked U.S. Drone? RQ-170 Sentinel Incident #shorts

The Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel is an American unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by Lockheed Martin and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). On 4 December 2011, media reports stated that the Iranian Army’s electronic warfare unit had downed an RQ-170 that violated Iranian airspace along its eastern border through overriding its controls, and had captured the lightly damaged UAV.[31] On 6 December, U.S. officials acknowledged that a drone crashed in or near Iranian airspace and that it belonged to the CIA, and not to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) as was earlier stated by the US government. The Iranian government released footage of a captured RQ-170 on 8 December.[33] After examining the video that same day, U.S. officials confirmed that the drone was genuine.
