Defense against UAV's

According to:

http://en.rian.ru/onlinenews/20060530/48833304.html

An Iranian UAV was able to circle a U.S. aircraft carrier undetected
for 25 minutes.

With U.S. forces making increasing use of UAV's, the inevitable
question becomes:

How can we protect our forces against UAV's when other countries or
terrorist
organizations start using them against us?

Did you notice this is a Russian news agency reporting on what an
Iranian spokesman said?

Thanks for pointing that out. It was wondering how it was known to
have been circling for 25 minutes, if it was undetected.

Was the Iranian "UAV" a small drone like ours,or was it a FULL-SIZE
aircraft that was remote controlled?

most likely it was a genie out of some Persian story, and dreamed up by some
Russian journalist.

Assumptions like that get people killed.

Underestimating an enemy, or potential enemy, is a very dangerous thing to
do.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

So is overestimating one and acting on that. Just think how much
money you could spend to counter Potemkin Villages....

Carrier launches it's own swarm of 1/6 scale Hellcats to cut the
intruders' crepe-paper streamers with their props...

Finally someone's thinking straight. Personally I'd forget all the high-tech
stuff and go for an old WWII carrier with Seafires on it. No swarm of UAVs
can match that, plus all the WWII pilot wanabees get to fly. If a flight is
sent to intercept a flock of birds, oh well, at least they've flown. If they
come across hostile UAVs its time to check the lightbulb in that good old
reflector gunsight and go weapons hot.
