Fars News Agency :: Senior Cleric: Iran to Give Crushing Response to Aggressors
"Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Forces Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh appeared on TV last night to explain how Iranian forces downed the United States' highly advanced radar-evading spy drone last week.
"Recently, our collected intelligence and precise electronic monitoring revealed that this aircraft intended to infiltrate our country's airspace for spying missions," the General said, and added, "After it entered the Eastern parts of the country, this aircraft fell into the trap of our armed forces and was downed in Iran with minimum damage."
"
The wing-to-wing width of the RQ-170 Sentinel drone is around 26 meters with a length of 4.5 meters and height of 1.84 meters.""
Now he's either had words put in his mouth by someone, or he's not seen the supposed capture and is relying on info from the internet. The "drone" in the Iranian photos is clearly not 26 metres wingspan
