CENTCOM: Iran Never Warned RQ-4 Drone Before Shootdown

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for sharing the unsurprising news that never warned … before shooting down the RQ-4A Global Hawk High-Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) in "international airspace"
"Shot out" with no "shot over" alert.

Warning CENTCOM before they shot it down would have been easy by Iran's IRGC if they chose to, in all likelihood.

"Statement
U.S. Central Command Statement: Iranians shoot down U.S. drone
TAMPA, Fla., June 20, 2019 —
"U.S. Central Command can confirm that a U.S. Navy Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (or BAMS-D) ISR aircraft was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile system while operating in international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz at approximately 11:35 p.m. GMT on June 19, 2019.
Iranian reports that the aircraft was over Iran are false.
This was an unprovoked attack on a U.S. surveillance asset in international airspace.
The BAMS-D is a RQ-4A Global Hawk High-Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) and provides real-time intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions (ISR) over vast ocean and coastal regions."

Background from Iran claims it hacked into US Army CENTCOM and flew US drones February 26, 2019
"Iranian military officials are claiming victories over the U.S. after allegedly infiltrating command centers and drones.
Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps Aerospace Force, told Iranian state television last week that forces were able to successfully hack the U.S. Army Command Center and several U.S. drones flying over the Middle East, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
“Seven to eight drones that had constant flights over Syria and Iraq were brought under our control and their intel was monitored by us and we could gain their first-hand intel,” Hajizadeh said.
The IRGC claimed to have footage captured directly from the drone, which was released to Iran’s Fars News Agency, and allegedly confirms the hack. It’s not known when the footage was taken.
…..
Iran likely acquired the means of taking over U.S. drones since it stole the technology in the first place to build their own. They’ve had more than seven years to extract the technology from a highly classified U.S. RQ-170 Sentinel spy drone stolen from the U.S. in 2011."

Well exactly how does one go about warning an unmanned drone anyhow?

Not that I agree with those morons for doing it, certainly...obv, they were totally dumb, of course...however, purely as a hopefully sanguine observation on the topic, how do ya warn a robot to veer off (joke)?
