Tehran: Iran’s state TV has aired a video late Wednesday allegedly extracted from the CIA drone the country claimed to have captured in 2011.
The footage shows an aerial view of an airport and a city, said to be Kandahar, Afghanistan, the Associated Press reported.
Iran has long claimed it managed to reverse-engineer the RQ-170 Sentinel and that it’s capable of launching its own production line for the unmanned aircraft.
The TV also showed images purported to be the Sentinel landing at a base in eastern Iran.
Iran claims it “took control of the drone and landed it” but US officials have said it malfunctioned and had to land.
