Iran says it has copied US drone

Iran said on Sunday it has succeeded in copying a US drone it captured in December 2011, with state television broadcasting images apparently showing the replicated aircraft.
Tehran captured the US RQ-170 Sentinel in 2011 while it was in its airspace, apparently on a mission to spy on the country's nuclear sites, media in the United States reported.
"Our engineers succeeded in breaking the drone's secrets and copying them. It will soon take a test flight," an officer said in the footage.
The broadcast showed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's visit to an exhibition organised by the powerful Revolutionary Guards air wing about Iran's military advances, particularly regarding ballistic missiles and drones.
Footage showed two nearly identical drones.
"This drone is very important for reconnaissance missions," Khamenei said, standing in front of the Iranian copy of the American unmanned aircraft.
Iran said it had taken control of the ultra hi-tech drone and forced it down in the desert where it was recovered nearly intact.
Washington said it had lost control of the aircraft.
At the time, US military officials tried to play the incident down, saying Iran did not have the technology to decipher its secrets, and President Barack Obama asked the Islamic republic to return the Sentinel.
Iran has been working to develop a significant drone programme of its own, and some of its unmanned aircraft have a range of hundreds of kilometres (miles) and are armed with missiles.
The state broadcaster also showed images that the commentary said had been recorded by an Iranian drone above a US aircraft carrier in the Gulf.
In the pictures, which were relatively clear, it was possible to see American personnel working on planes and helicopters aboard the vessel.
 
Copying by creating? may be under the assistance of russians

daah jamaa wanatisha wale yaani uwezi tofautisha na zile za marekani tena wao yao wameiongeza uwezo zaidi inauwezo wa kulipua hata meli,
 
Hahahaaaa......Hii dunia ina mambo. Wakati wenzetu wanafikilia kukopi us drone sisi bado tunaagiza tooth pick china

Iran has unveiled a copy of the US Lockheed Martin Sentinel RQ-170 drone which the Islamic Republic downed in 2011. The copycat aircraft is due to take test flights soon, officials said at the IRGC's Aerospace Exhibition.
The reverse-engineered drone manufactured by Iran was showcased next to the original US machine that was captured in northeastern Iran near the city of Kashmar about three years ago.
The exhibition, attended by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei, revealed the Iranian marvel equipped with an advanced system of data collection, video and radar telecom, Fars reports.
“Our engineers succeeded in breaking the drone’s secrets and copying them. It will soon take a test flight,” an officer said in the footage broadcast on Iranian TV. “This drone is very important for reconnaissance missions,” Khamenei said as he viewed the drone.
The original Sentinel RQ-170 unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was used in US covert operations in Afghanistan from 2005 until 2007, according to the report. One of the important features of the drone is that it is hard to detect with long range radar due to its special stealth coating, making it visible only from a distance of around 40 kilometers.
In December 2011, Iran claimed to have captured it flying over Iran, which the US military acknowledged. Washington filed a formal request for Iran to return the UAV, which Iran rejected instead demanded an apology for US intelligence operation over its territory.
Although US officials never confirmed it, Iran says it used its radio electronic warfare skills and vulnerabilities in the Sentinel’s GPS receiver to trick it into landing on Iranian territory instead of its designated military base. The claims are considered plausible by many, since the drone did not sustain any visible damage during its alleged crash-landing.
Since then Iran has also hunted down two more types of UAVs. Two RQ-11s and at least one ScanEagle that had penetrated Iranian airspace from the Persian Gulf.
Last year, Iranian officials announced progress on reverse-engineering the captured Sentinel drone, saying that they has completed decoding its software and extracting the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) surveillance data from it.
“All the memories and computer systems of this plane have been decoded and some good news will be announced in the near future not just about the RQ-170 and the optimizations that our forces have done on the reversed engineered model of this drone, but also in area of other important defense achievements,” Hossein Salami, the lieutenant commander general of Iran’s Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution said at the time.
Iran earlier managed to present a functional copycat model of the US ScanEagle to a Russian military delegation visiting Tehran last October. Before that, in February last year, Tehran demonstrated images of a ScanEagle UAV drone production line, revealing that this low-cost, high endurance drone would provide low-altitude reconnaissance for the Iranian military.
In recent decades Iran has made significant achievements in its defense sector following the launch of an arms development program during the 1980-88 Iraqi-Iran war on Iran to compensate for a US weapons embargo. Since 1992, Iran has been producing its own tanks, armored personnel carriers, missiles and fighter jets.

Baada ya kuihack hii drone RQ-170 sentinel nakuimiliki US waliingia ktk vyombo vya habari wakidai IRAN haina uwezo huo kwani hii ni most advanced drone ever built na ina stealth capability that means haioneakani ktk rada sawa na F22 na F35 fighter jets, IRAN wakaionesha hii drone ktk media US wakakili,OBAMA akawaomba IRAN wawarudishie jamaa wakadis..Baada ya apo former VP president DICK CHINEY akashauri US inabidi either watume makomandoo wakaiharibu kwa mabomu,watume ndege zao za F22 ili zikailipue lakini wakaona plan zote ni ngumu kwani walihofia RUSSIA,CHINA na IRAN watajua siri za stealth...SO km IRAN wameweza kutengeneza basi ni hatua kubwa sana na pia leo wamezindua air defence missile na missile zenye mutiple war head na cruise missiles....well done IRAN
 
Itategemea km US waliamini kua hii drone yao haiwezi onekana kwa rada na wakavunja sheria za kimataifa kuingia ktk anga ya nchi nyingine ili kuwakomesha ni kukopi kwani tiyari unakua umepata technology ambayo ulikua huna...so hii itakua funzo kwa US
 
Copying by creating? may be under the assistance of russians

Why RUSSIANS jamaa wanaweza never underestimate Iranians na kumbuka kuna ile drone nyingine waliyokamata ya US tena sio kwa kuitungua ila kwa kucheza na IT yani spoofing and hacking control system wakaikamata na wanazizalisha nyingi tu na alipoenda afisa wa jeshi la urusi nchi Iran walimpa copy moja km zawadi
 
us hapitishi tena iran zile drone zake zitaishia huko huko pakistan na yemeni,nasikia majaribio anakwenda kuzifanyia syria kwa wale waasi,
 
Iran shaheed 128 drone spotted on Syria...source Syria opposition/activists..waasi wa syria waliiona drone ya Iran ikiwa angani na shaheed 128 ina combat capabilities as well as upelelezi na inakaa hewan 24hrs..na ndo reason behind ASSAD kawa na upper hand dhidi ya waasi wanaopewa misaada ya kifedha na silaha na US,UK,FRANCE,ISRAEL,SAUD,QATAR,TURKEY nk.
