Iran says the IRGC shot down another U.S. MQ-1 drone over the Strait of Hormuz — but did that engagement expose Iran’s air-defense network to American intelligence? Former F-15E Strike Eagle and Thunderbird pilot Max Afterburner breaks down radar emissions, ISR, target custody, suppression of enemy air defenses and why an unmanned aircraft can still produce valuable information after it is lost. We also examine two tanker attacks, Iran’s offer to reopen Hormuz, Saudi Arabia’s East-West Pipeline restart, the FQ-42 Vengeance flying with F-15Es and F-35s, and North Korea’s claimed hypersonic missile. Responsibility for the tanker attacks remains unconfirmed, and the ‘bait’ explanation is operational analysis rather than a confirmed U.S. account.
