You don't want Iran to have possession of the drone, but half the advantage of a drone is that it's expendable. I could imagine dropping an airstrike on the drone if you don't give a shit about the Iranians' justified anger at such an action, but sending soldiers into Iran to destroy it would be just as large a provocation and give the Iranians the opportunity to capture or kill your soldiers and not just a piece of hardware.
My understanding was that it was top-secret hardware when it crashed. I guess my thinking was you don't want that info falling into the hands of a foreign adversary.
plus the cucked way he's like "I'm going to ask for it back," was such a wtf moment...
remember when one of our spy drones crashed in Iran and he said he was gonna ask them to give it back?
First off, he should have denied it's existence, second of all, he should have sent in a covert ops team to destroy any evidence it ever existed.
You don't "ask for it back." -_-#

I don't think this is very feasible.
The proper answer to lost drones is more drones, but now with missiles.
