Iran successfully replicates captured U.S. drone through reverse engineering

The US drones hovering over Iran have provided Iran an opportunity to down any of these and reproduce the replicas through reverse engineering.

Iranian Arms have managed to create its own squadron of drones based on technology copied from a 'downed' U.S. spy plane much to the embarrassment for the Americans

It is reported that Iran is producing drones which exactly look like American drone Sea Eagle, which Iran downed in December 2012. The Iranian military has successfully replicated the drone through reverse engineering the avionics and is reported to be producing in a mass scale.

According to Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Navy, the Iran's Naval and Aerospace Division has already deployed the home-brew models.

It may be recalled that Iran rejected a U.S. call for the return of the drone after it was downed. However, the US authorities insist that the drone crashed due to malfunction.

Tehran building a copy of crashed US spy drone

Iran has boasted a major propaganda victory against the United States, saying that it has unscrambled the codes of an American spy drone that came down over Iranian territory last year, and has started to make a copy of it.

Iranian military officials claim to have reverse-engineered the drone, a bat-winged RQ-170 Sentinel deployed in some of America's most sensitive surveillance operations worldwide, a claim that will prove embarrassing to the US intelligence establishment. 

The drone, equipped with stealth technology that makes it virtually undetectable on radar, came down over Iran last December.
