Hezbollah drone flies 400Km into Israeli airspace

TEHRAN, Feb. 25 (MNA) –IRGC Aerospace Force Commander says contrary to Israel’s claim, Hezbollah’s drone has flown 400Km into Israeli airspace.

In a documentary, Tabas Hunt, aired in Iranian state TV, Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh pointed to Ayub fighter drone. “Israelis were incredulous that Iran had the technology for developing the drone, and believed that only Germany had the technology,” said Hajizadeh.

“They said that drone had flown only 60 to 70Km into Israeli airspace, but actually it flew 400Km,” and that “ the technology used in the drone allowed it to fly, operate, and return back without detection by Israel, and it had done it several times before.”

“I think that on purpose, Hezbollah designed the drone in a way that it passed without detection by Israeli surveillance cameras, whose information Hezbollah and us shared, to achieve the desired outcome, which I think it did,” asserted the Commander.
