U.S. drones shot down out of Iran’s airspace: military
Tehran Times Political Desk

TEHRAN – Top military official Gholam Ali Rashid said on Sunday that Iran had shot down the two U.S. drones out of its airspace.

A senior IRGC commander said Iran had shot down two unmanned U.S. reconnaissance drone aircrafts.

In addition, the navy commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said on Saturday the force is keeping hold of the two U.S. surveillance aircrafts.

In response to Iran’s announcement, Pentagon rejected that two of its aircrafts have been shot down by Iran but said some of its aircrafts crashed due to some malfunctions.

These aircrafts are U.S. most modern reconnaissance drones and can take off from aircraft carriers easily because they are very small.
