| Iran says home-made stealth drone tested |
| 2010-02-08 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] Iran has successfully tested the prototype of its first domestically-built stealth drone, a senior Air Force commander said Sunday. "The drone, due to its physical attributes and the material used in its body, cannot be detected by any radar," Air Force Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, the force's coordination deputy, told reporters. He said data from the test-flight had been favorable and the Air Force will move forward with its plans for the drone, called Sofreh Mahi, meaning Manta Ray in English, Fars News Agency reported. Brig. Gen. Nasirzadeh, however, explained that the production process will not be rushed as such complex systems need thorough analysis and exhaustive testing. |
