It's possible that Russia directly aided Iran in downing the sophisticated U.S. drone that crashed in Iranian territory last week, America's former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton said Sunday in a radio interview.
"You would have to think that that is a possibility," said Bolton, commenting on the likelihood of Russian assistance in the drone's capture.
Bolton was speaking on "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio" on New York's WABC Radio.
Bolton noted speculation that Iran may have recently purchased from Russian sources the advanced jamming and electronic warfare system known as Avtobaza, which he said could have been used to hack into the downed drone's system.
The captured American RQ-170 Sentinel highly classified spy drone is designed to be virtually invisible to radar and reportedly carries advanced communications and surveillance gear.
"I wouldn't be at all surprised if in fact the Russians provided the jamming equipment as the alternative to the S-300," stated Bolton.
