At the very least, the plane didn't come down and land gently as Iran had suggested it did. At least Iran got a good photo op, though the more interesting question is what technology will they be able to glean from what they did capture."

Global Hawk = Northrop Grumman RQ-4
Predator = General Atomics MQ-1
The drone that crash landed in Iran: Sentinel = Lockheed Martin RQ-170
Yet folks persist in using "Global Hawk" and "Predator" to describe it.
