'NO
Way!': PENTAGON trashes IRANIAN Replica
Of US DRONE . . .
An
Iranian replica of a US spy drone, seized by Iran in 2011, is inferior to the
US version, which was initially captured by Iran, according to the Pentagon.
Iran released a video of their similar design earlier this week.
“There
is no way it matches American technology,” Colonel Steve Warren said when asked
about the Iranian replica. Warren added “Replica being the operative word
there.”
Iran has just presented its “reverse-engineered”
homemade variant of a US spy drone, the RQ-170 Sentinel, which it shot down in
December 2011 after the aircraft entered Iranian airspace from Afghanistan
while on a CIA mission.
The video showed a black mono-winged aircraft
flying over mountains and arid terrain, before landing at an unknown airbase.
“Today is a very sweet and
unforgettable day for me,” Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei praised the
drone earlier in the week, according to a video posted by the Tasnim News
Agency.
Amerika
Syarikat telah mendakwa bahawa kraf tanpa pemandu yang telah dilin-dungi dalam
apa-apa cara yang menjadikannya mustahil untuk menyalin, tetapi Tehran balas
kembali pd bulan Ogos, berkata ia tlh berjaya secara bertentangan pesawat
ini.

Sekarang
Iran mendakwa dronenya adalah lebih baik daripada RQ-170 Sentinel Amerika yang ianya
disita.
"Berat
Iran Versi telah amat menjadi kurang, ia menggunakan bahan api kurang,
kelajuannya telah meningkat & tempoh di mana ia boleh terbang telah bertambah
baik kerana badan yang lebih baik," kata Ketua Amir Ali Hajizadeh, ketua
bahagian aeroangkasa elit Pengawal Revolusi Iran.
"Amerika telah
menggunakan logam dalam membina tubuh, tetapi kita tidak menggunakan logam pada
semua. Ia membantu untuk mengurangkan detectability dengan radar,
"katanya.
Iran
merancang untuk membina 2 atau 3 lagi prototaip serta bagi massa menghasilkan
mereka tahun depan.
Amerika
Syarikat RQ-170 Sentinel dilaporkan bukan hanya droneg bahawa Iran telah
mengambil ke bawah. Tehran mendakwa bahawa sepanjang beberapa tahun ia telah
menangkap beberapa pesawat Amerika Syarikat, termasuk Boeing Scan-Eagle Amerika-yangdireka.
Iran mengatakan bahawa ia juga menyalin ScanEagle dan merancang untuk
meletakkan versi ini ke dalam perkhidmatan.

Tehran claims capture of US spy drone in Iranian airspace
Iran
menuduh Amerika Syarikat menghantar pesawat untuk mengintip program nuklear
Iran. Bagi RQ-170 Sentinel, Washington menegaskan bahawa ia terhempas kerana
masalah teknikal.
The US
has been claiming that its unmanned craft was protected in such a way as to
make it impossible to copy, but Tehran responded back in August, saying it had
managed to reverse engineer the aircraft.
Now
Iran claims its drone is even better than the American RQ-170 Sentinel it
seized.
“The
Iranian version's weight has remarkably become less, it consumes less fuel, its
speed has been increased and the duration that it can fly has improved a lot
because of its enhanced body," said General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head
of the aerospace division of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guard. "The
Americans had used metal in building the body but we did not use metal at all.
It helps to reduce its detectability by radars,” he added.
Iran
plans to build two or three more prototypes and gear up to mass produce them
next year.
The US
RQ-170 Sentinel is reportedly not the only drone that Iran took down. Tehran
claims that over the course of a few years it has captured several US drones,
including the American Boeing-designed ScanEagle. Iran says that it is also
copying the ScanEagle and plans to put its version into service.
Iran
has accused the US of sending drones to spy on the Iranian nuclear program. As
for the RQ-170 Sentinel, Washington insisted that it crashed because of a
technical glitch.
