As part of the classified document leak in early 2023, although authenticity of some documents are questionable. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/rq-170-sentinel-stealth-drones-may-have-flown-sorties-off-crimea Memelephant (talk) 09:33, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If authenticity is questionable, why should we treat it as a reliable source?Nigel Ish (talk) 13:48, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Discrepancy in the image caption of Iranian captured drone.

The caption for the image "RQ-170 in Iran.jpg" says the image is of an Iranian-built copy of the RQ-170, but the description of the file in Wikimedia Commons says the image is of the drone that Iran downed and captured, not a copy that they built. Should probably verify which is correct and change whichever is incorrect, either the caption or the file's description.
