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.

So what? We help our friendly countries, or we use too.
Is it just me,or does the US always find someone else to blame for their ineptness?No wonder so many countries have no use for us.We can't own up to anything.It's always someone else's fault.Never our own.
This is a failure of rht administration plain and simple. Although I believe it was intentional. Obammy and his gangsters cannot be trusted.

Did they forget the self destruct button?
Even Dr. Doofensmirts knows to add a self destruct button!
