JNN 23 Apil 2012 Tehran : Iran has begun building a copy of the US surveillance drone spy drone RQ 170 it captured last year,after breaking its encryption codes, the commander of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps announced on Saturday, Iranian Mehr news agency reported.<\/p>\n

Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh who was speaking on the anniversary of the establishment of the IRGC also said experts are receiving information from the captured spy plane, and revealed what he said were \u201ccodes\u201d gleaned from the unmanned aircraft.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Americans should be aware to what extent we have infiltrated the plane,\u201d General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, military aerospace chief said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am giving you four codes so the Americans understand just how far we have gone in penetrating the drone\u2019s secrets,\u201d he told state television.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn October 2010, the aircraft was sent to California for some technical issues, where it was repaired and after flight tests, it was taken to Kandahar (in Afghanistan) in November 2010, when a series of technical problems still prevailed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn December 2010, it was sent to an airport near Los Angeles for repair of its equipment and sensors, and flight tests. The drone was then sent back to Kandahar,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hajizadeh did not give further details, saying: \u201cThis aircraft is a national treasure for us, and I cannot divulge information about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he added Iran has \u201cstarted producing a copy of the RQ-170 drone,\u201d stressing it used the same US technology in stealth fighters and bombers.<\/p>\n

He said that Iran had managed to hack the controls of the drone, thus enabling the Iranians to reverse-engineer the aircraft to make its own copy.<\/p>\n

The RQ-170 Sentinel was shown on Iranian state television last December.<\/p>\n

The unmanned, bat-winged RQ-170 Sentinel drone went down in Iran four months ago, and Iran\u2019s gleeful military proudly displayed it on state television apparently intact. …more<\/a><\/p>\n
