Unmanned aircraft are crowding the skies over Iraq. Now ISIS says they’ve got one of their own—a drone they took from Iran.
ISIS fighters in Iraq are bragging about an Iranian drone they claim to have captured.
Social media accounts associated with ISIS have been posting photos of the unmanned aircraft since this morning, claiming it was shot down in the Iraqi province of Diyala. The drone shown in the photos is “100% not U.S. or NATO sourced,” according to Christopher Harmer, an analyst with the Institute for the Study of War.

If it was "shot down" where's the damage?
Maybe it got hacked like the RQ-170
I could go with that Phil, or just ran out of fuel. I'm just somewhat interested that the article clearly states shot down, but shows no damage.
