Iran\u2019s Army says its air defense forces have shot down an American MQ-9 unmanned strategic aircraft over the country\u2019s central city of Isfahan and a LUCAS drone over Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

In a statement on Tuesday, Iran\u2019s Army said that Isfahan air defenses managed to successfully shoot and destroy a US-made MQ-9 Reaper, which belonged to the American-Israeli aggressors, over the city in the early hours of the day.<\/p>\n

MQ-9 is an unmanned aerial vehicle designed for long-endurance surveillance.<\/p>\n

In a separate statement, Iran\u2019s Army said that its air defenses also managed to shoot and destroy a Low-cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System (LUCAS) over Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf at 10:30 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n

The LUCAS drones are made in the United States but they are in fact a reverse-engineered copy of the kamikaze Iranian drone called Shahed.<\/p>\n

With the latest interceptions, the number of hostile drones destroyed by the Iranian Armed Forces’ integrated air defense network since the beginning of the ongoing US-Israeli war of aggression has reached 147.<\/p>\n

The United States and Israel started a fresh round of aerial aggression on Iran on February 28, some eight months after they carried out unprovoked attacks on the country.<\/p>\n

The attacks led to the martyrdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, as well as military commanders.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of civilians, including women and children, have also been killed in the war so far.<\/p>\n

Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the strikes by launching barrages of ballistic missile and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases in regional countries.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
