IRGC Deputy Commander Brigadier General Hossein Salami said on Tuesday that Iranian-made drones are much more sophisticated than the US Scan Eagle drone which was recently captured by Iranian forces while hovering over the Persian Gulf waters.

Speaking to reporters, Salami said the new generation of radar evading drones are more precise and can fly longer distances.

The Islamic Republic of Iran is now regarded as among leading countries manufacturing advanced drones.

“The country has gained access to advanced radar system that can divert enemies' drones from their main courses,” Salami said.
