Weird how the number of random crashes go up in war zone.
Never heard of a drone crashing in twenty years of Iraq war
While Bush was a fuckwit, though less so than Trump, Bush actually let real military people make desicions on the frontlines instead of having his uneducated golf buddies decide.
An even bigger factor is that Iran has modern technology that can match the US.
Or simple solutions such as cheap infrared that exposes US aircraft with the $trillion "stealth" technology!
