U.S. Shoots Down Iranian Drone Flying Over Iraq

Here is a picture of the drone, an Ababil3 I found here. It supposed to have "stealth" features.

Yep. Very stealthy orange.

Anything made from plastic and paper under a 10' wing span would be stealthy anyway.

Apparently not stealthy enough. Anyone here what method was used to shoot it down? I understand it was an air-to-air. If so, please tell me it was destroyed with a M61 20mm and not a sidewinder.

What's it use for power ? Does it's power source generate heat ?
That's fodder for most missiles......

How do you score that? A full kill, half kill, or no kill?

Iraq has no fighter aircraft yet. From what I read just helos and transports.

I wonder what weapon was used to shoot it down?

Bill G.

half kill maybe and i would think they used the guns to shoot it down
