Iran Presents Reproduced U.S. Drone to Russia | The Moscow Times
Iran has presented Russia with a copy of a U.S. spy drone, proving it
has reproduced the unmanned ScanEagle aircraft that its forces claim
to have captured last year, Iranian media reported.
An Iranian Revolutionary Guards air defense commander, Farzad
Esmayeeli, said he presented a copy of the drone during a Monday meeting
with Russian Air Force chief Viktor Bondarev in Tehran, Fars reported.
"The drone built by the IRGC [Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps] is
a symbol of the technical capabilities of the Islamic Iran and today we
presented a real model of it as a gift to Lieutenant General Viktor
Bondarev and the Russian people," said Esmayeeli, who is in charge
of air defense at the Khatam al-Anbia base.
Last month, Iran's army unveiled a highly mobile drone, called
Yasseer, which media reports described as resembling the U.S. ScanEagle.
