maybe they weren't trying to hit it. maybe they were trying to do exactly what they did, fire at it, but not hit it. there's a lot of breast beating and yelling and scaring in all fights, this is one way nations do it. certainly shooting DOWN the drone would have had much more dramatic consequences than what did happen, probably not a net benefit to Iran. But with what did happen, they could say to somebody who cares, "we shot at it and it flew away" (even if it merely flew on, unhit).
for that matter, if the drone's in international airspace, and the fighters are in international airspace, don't they have equal rights to be there? And if I'm out here in international airspace, why can't I fire my gun and hit nothing? Just playing devil's advocate here. Of course, other devil's advocate could say this was an unprovoked attack, kill kill kill. whatever.
sounds like there were a couple incidents of no significance happening.
