Time to litter the sea floor with those drones.

Better yet time to kill the controller

I'm curious why the carrier didn't pick up the drone on its air scans. What the frick were the OS's doing?

Oh it did.

I'd be willing to bet that since Iran and NK are allies, if something goes down with NK then they will provoke enough and start another front.

Serious question :
Why wasn't it shot down the instant it crossed a defined line of demarcation?

Excellent question. I would guess there is something big up our sleeve and we are just biding time.

Maybe so.
But one has to wonder at the timing of it all.

Sometimes it is prudent to allow an adversary to flaunt its stuff as it allows for information rather than conjecture

Probably looking at each other saying "this motha fuka here dumb"
Seems like it would have been prudent to send a couple of 20mm rounds at it as it was dancing around. Maybe send it back home with a couple holes in it.

Landing is hard enough without some damn Iranian drones

What is the operational definition of "buzz" in this context?
Close enough to be picked up on radar?
The article is a bit...vague.
