‘Iran has drones more advanced than the one that flew over Israel’
TEHRAN – Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said on Sunday that Iran has in
its possession UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) which are far more advanced than
the one which the Hezbollah resistance movement recently sent into Israel.
“Definitely, the technology of the drone which recently flew into the
Quds occupier regime by the Lebanese resistance movement and amazed the enemies
is not the newest Iranian technology,” Vahidi noted.
On October 6 a Hezbollah aircraft drone penetrated hundreds of kilometers
into Israeli airspace and gotten very close to the Dimona nuclear plant without
being detected by advanced Israeli and U.S. radar systems.
The defense minister said Israel had made a lot of publicity over its
Iron Dome air defense shield but the infiltration of the drone into the country
proved scandalous for Tel Aviv.
Vahidi told Iranian television on October 14 that Israel “was defeated in
this respect and it can no longer bully Islamic nations."
On October 21 Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi also said, “The
UAV that recently was able to penetrate into the occupying regime frightened
this regime, and the Zionist regime had put itself in such a situation (in
relation to) its people that its weakness and desperateness were quite
evident.”
