Iran says it downed U.S. stealth drone; Pentagon acknowledges aircraft downing - The Washington Post

The Iranian government has not released any pictures of the recovered aircraft, which they said was downed by defense forces after it flew across the border and into the country's airspace. An unnamed Iranian defense official said in one report that a cyber­attack caused the drone to crash.

U.S. officials cast doubt on this and other Iranian assertions. "We have no indication that it was brought down by hostile fire," said a senior Pentagon official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive surveillance activity.

So it was not shot down but brought down by cyberattack... Someone might have predicted that...
