Abstract

The article reports on the shooting of U.S.-owned Predator drone over the Persian Gulf by 2 Iranian Su-25 fighter jets known as Frogfoots in November 2012. It mentions that the drone was on a surveillance mission and is flying in international airspace when it was targeted by the Iranian jet fighters. According the U.S. military spokesman George Little, the silence about the incident was the result of the confidentiality of the surveillance mission.
