SYRIAWATCH-FSA CLAIMS OF EXPOSING IRANIAN DRONES DEBUNKED!!!!
On August 16, Danger Room reported on a video from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) showing what the FSA claims are Iranian drones confiscated in a machine shop in Aleppo. The men in the video say that they found the drones in the shop with some Iranian literature bearing the image of the former supreme leader of Iran, Ruhollah Khomeini, and containing teachings of the imam (in Arabic).Reporter Spencer Ackerman notes the resemblance of the drones to Iranian-made Ababil unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and finds someone who sees a similarity with the “Saeqeh family of Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles,” but two experts we asked had doubts about whether the devices shown would even be airworthy.The Ababil UAV is primarily a surveillance drone that Iran developed decades ago for the Iran-Iraq War. The UAVs in the video do not appear to have any housing for a camera system (although there are no shots from under the aircraft to tell for certain), which images have shown either set at the nose of the aircraft or near the middle between the wings. Also, neither UAV has a propeller, which is how the Ababil is powered. Again, the propellers could be sitting off in a corner somewhere in the shop, [ED NOTES:BUT THEY AREN'T IN ANY CORNER OR SHOWN ANYWHERE ON VIDEO]but the aircraft appear to lack even the infrastructure for a rear propeller. The models in the video appear to not yet be fully assembled, judging by a scene at the :45 mark when the man speaking touches the smaller wing on top of the body of the UAV and it clearly moves. In pictures and mock-ups of the Ababil, the main wing structure is set all the way to the back of the aircraft, but the UAVs in the video appear to have wings that sit at least a few inches forward from the rear of the plane. It's unclear whether the wings are attached at all to the body, as they may just be sitting on stands, set up for PR purposes.Speaking on condition of anonymity, one missile expert who watched the video doubted the aircraft would be airworthy. He noted that the delta wing design is made for high-speed aircraft, not for a UAV that would loiter and surveil a target, and that the body of the UAVs appeared to be from a device meant to be attached under the wing of a larger aircraft, not made for autonomous flight.

[ED NOTES:THERE YOU HAVE IT ,DEBUNKED BY EXPERTS!!!KEEP IN MIND THESE EXPERTS ARE STATING THIS TO RFER WICH IS RADIO FREE EUROPE A CIA FRONT MEDIA OUTLET..THE PUBLIC RELATIONS STUNT,FAILS MISERABLY...
