How is there a lesson to be learned from that? Every civilized country on this planet that has a military has a missile / aircraft defense system that could shoot down a drone.

We just don't care about political relations with Iran so we fly drones into their airspace. THAT'S why they've shot down drones, not because they have the capability but because we've chose to disregard their air space. The reasons other countries don't shoot down our drones is because we respect their airspace.

There's nothing special about Iran's military capabilities to be able to shoot down drones.

And also, if any major military power went into Iran - they'd LEVEL Iran's missile / aircraft defense systems first. And it'd be done from a ship hundreds of miles away, there'd be nothing Iran could do about it.
