In a statement on Wednesday, the IRGC public relations office said the drone was detected, tracked, and destroyed by the IRGC’s advanced air defense system, operating under the country's integrated air defense network. The statement did not specify the exact time of the incident or the type of missile used.
“With the destruction of this drone, the number of US MQ-1 drones destroyed has reached 15,” the IRGC said, describing the tally as evidence of the “continued interception and confrontation by the country’s air defense against American drones in our airspace.”
The MQ-1 Predator is a medium-altitude, long-endurance remotely piloted aircraft developed by General Atomics and operated primarily by the US Air Force.
