Maybe Iran does not have that much to learn from the drone.
They may already know a great deal....

Tonight on CNN, the Iranian Ambassador to the UN, Mohammad Khazaee,
was being interviewed and answering questions about the drone.
The TV showed an Iranian solder standing in front of what appeared
to be an undamaged "flying wing" kind of aircraft with very smooth contours.

When asked directly "Did Iran shoot down the drown" his reply was quite startling.
He said "Well, they did not directly shoot it down. They brought it down"
He refrained from saying how they brought it down, stating simply "They have their ways."

I think this may well be major revelation for the US.
For example, if Iran can electronically gain control of the US stealth drones
and bring them to ground without extensive damage,
it would be a remarkable achievement by Iran and setback for the US.
