<\/b>Las fuerzas iran\u00edes derribaron un avi\u00f3n no tripulado de vigilancia estadounidense el mi\u00e9rcoles 19jun por la noche, aumentando la situaci\u00f3n ya tensa entre Washington y Teher\u00e1n, la capital de Ir\u00e1n. El avi\u00f3n no tripulado era una aeronave de Vigilancia Mar\u00edtima de \u00c1rea Amplia de la Armada de los Estados Unidos (BAMS-D), un avi\u00f3n no tripulado RQ-4A Global Hawk de gran altura y larga resistencia (HALE).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"USIranian forces took out a US unmanned aerial vehicle Wednesday evening with a surface-to-air missile, US Central Command confirmed. The drone the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) shot out of the sky happens to be one of the US military’s most advanced high-altitude unmanned aircraft.<\/p>\n

The Iranians shot down a US Navy\u00a0Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS-D)<\/a>\u00a0intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft, specifically a RQ-4A Global Hawk high-altitude, long-endurance (HALE) drone, which the military uses to conduct recon operations over oceans and coastal waterways, among other areas.<\/p>\n

The US military called the incident “an unprovoked attack on a US surveillance asset in international airspace” over the Strait of Hormuz, the entrance to the Persian Gulf. The Iranians have accused the US drone of entering Iranian airspace, an allegation Central Command characterized as completely false.<\/p>\n

The RQ-4, which informed the development of the newer MQ-4C drones, is one of the most advanced high-altitude drones being employed operationally, The War Zone\u00a0said. These aircraft, Northrop Grumman aircraft that have been used extensively in the Persian Gulf, rely on a suite of high-end electronic sensors and other intelligence-gathering systems to peer into other countries.<\/p>\n

The aircraft, which is used by both the US Air Force and the US Navy, has a price tag\u00a0higher\u00a0than the US military’s new F-35 stealth fighters. A Global Hawk has a\u00a0unit cost\u00a0of roughly $123 million, while an F-35A Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter costs only $89 million.<\/p>\n

“This isn’t a throwaway drone whose loss the US will just shrug off,” Ulrike Franke, a drone expert with the European Council on Foreign Relations,\u00a0said\u00a0on Twitter. But it’s not just the price tag that makes the loss of this drone a big deal. The drone is designed to be harder to hit, she said, because they fly at altitudes beyond the reach of some air defense defense systems.<\/p>\n

“The RQ-4 flies at upwards of 65,000 feet,” Tyler Rogoway, the editor of The War Zone,\u00a0wrote. “So this would have been a sophisticated radar-guided surface-to-air missile that shot the aircraft down, not a shoulder-fired, heat-seeking missile.”<\/p>\n

Iran said the IRGC shot down the US drone with an upgraded Khordad missile-defense system, which can detect and track targets 95 miles away and down them at a distance of 30 miles, Breaking Defense\u00a0reported. The system can target enemy aircraft flying as high as 81,000 feet, or roughly 15 miles.<\/p>\n

The Global Hawk does not have any stealth capabilities or high-end countermeasures for penetration missions, leaving it vulnerable to any air defense systems that can hit high-altitude targets.<\/p>\n

The latest incident comes just days after the crew of an Iranian boat fired an SA-7 surface-to-air missile at a MQ-9 Reaper drone, a roughly $15 million drone, but missed. Wednesday’s shoot-down marks a serious escalation in tensions between the US and Iran.<\/p>\n
