Iran began large-scale copying of American drone

The Iranian TV channel IRTV showed a story about the serial production of unmanned aerial vehicles ─ copies of the American ScanEagle. Judging by the footage, some drones made by exact copies of the American apparatus, while others have some differences. In particular, different devices are equipped with a V-tail, which the ScanEagle does not have. In addition, at least two more types of drones got into the frame, one of which looks like the American RQ-7 Shadow.

In early December 2012, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the interception of the American drone ScanEagle. Later, the US Navy said that they did not lose any of these devices performing intelligence tasks in the Middle East region. In mid-December last year, Iran announced the interception of two more American UAVs.

At that time, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the Iranian air defense forces, said that Iranian enterprises had already begun large-scale production of copies of captured American drones. At the same time, the general noted that Iranian unmanned technologies have long overtaken those that were used in the American ScanEagle and Shadow devices. However, Hajizadeh explained that Iran is copying these drones in order to use them on navylaunching from the ships.

ScanEagle drones are equipped with an ejection launch system and are in service with several naval naval forces. The military use them to launch from ships and conduct reconnaissance at a distance of up to one hundred kilometers. So far, none of the countries involved in military operations in the Middle East have confirmed the loss of ScanEagle. In turn, the RQ-7 drones were actively used by the Americans in Iraq, where one of these devices could be captured by Iranian militants.

In December, 2011, Iran managed to intercept the American drone RQ-170 Sentinel, which was used by the CIA for reconnaissance. Later, the Iranian authorities announced that they carried out the reverse development of Sentinel and began mass production of copies of such a device.

drones multiply by multiplication! cheers tovagischi!

Judging by the first frames in the video, they decided to do it on a grand scale. Just a few dozen UAVs in the workshop.

Yeah. And he will also say that only the appearance can be copied. And everything else is the technology from the field of star wars, accessible to understanding only by citizens of the United States and Israel.

A meteorite was also shot down in Israel, with an iron dome and it fell already in Chelyabinsk, right now the wreckage will be found and provided with flight numbers 16 and 17 of the transgalactic combat starship, we’ll pass all the wreckage to Tel Aviv so that the valiant Israeli aircraft designers learn extraterrestrial technology

Well what can I say to amers. Only if like this: ,, ..... he had to deal with his women and not throw weapons ... "

[OlegYugan]

where one of these vehicles could be captured by Iranian militants.
What action movies ???? This is Amer’s fighters —And in Iran, strictly warriors.

[doctor-may-care]

This is who we should take an example from .. well done !!! )) although judging by the statements: "At the same time, the general noted that Iranian unmanned technologies have long overtaken those used in the American ScanEagle and Shadow vehicles." all this sounds like an element of information war, and the video with mock gliders is no more ... But I want to believe that this news is true;)

[TSOOBER]

Even Iran .... And Russia? With her aircraft school? Someone is strenuously braking this direction! Question: who? (Well, I do not believe that in Russia there are no designers capable of developing a drone)

thank ! I’m calm for intelligence! I want a shock and a lot!

They again found the layouts and thought: Wai! What are we cunning, the whole world is ... it! The stuffing is the most important thing, but you won’t copy it, but to do something is better than whether the amers from Iran will lie, I do not believe in it.

Iran began large-scale copying of American drone

That's how the Americans get ... ha ha. Americans, accustomed to taking everything that they like, is like a sickle according to their deeds. They were taken from them, but exiled to the whole world. How can Amer’s pride stand such a test?

[sablezub81]

The author writes that the Iranian fighters could capture the apparatus ... The last word sounds strange. It seems that Iran is a hot spot and there the militants are waging some kind of war and pen dos are fighting them ...
I would write like this - American militants lost their drone over Iranian territory ...

[Homo]

Why does the article say "Iranian fighters ..."? The author, following the State Department, ranked all Iranians as terrorists?

[huut]

In turn, the RQ-7 drones were actively used by the Americans in Iraq, where Iranian militants could capture one of such vehicles.

Iranians captured Iraq. That is, the Iranians operating in the territory of a foreign country, Iraq, were militants. In the territory of their country, of course, they are troops, not militants.
I think this is the key to the author's "Iranian militants") Without any politics.
