But how much valuable information are they likely to  glean?         Pictures broadcast by Iranian television of the stealth RQ-170 Sentinel will have made grim viewing in Washington.         Iran has rejected US calls for its return, and state  television says military experts were in the final stages of recovering  data.         So how easy is it to extract information from a drone?         It all depends what state the aircraft was in when they  recovered it, says Nick Brown, editor-in-chief of Jane's International  Defence Review.         "It could have crashed and come apart. The version seen on  the video clips could be a reconstruction. But if the aircraft is  relatively intact, you could take a fair bit from it."         One thing the Iranians might be doing is testing it with  radar in an anechoic chamber, he says, to find its "radar  cross-section", which is a measure of how detectable it is. They could  also learn from some of the more exotic radar-defeating shaping and  materials.<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16162043" target="_blank">MORE ON BBC</a></blockquote>
