Tehran, YJC. Iranian military commander says the drone type one of which was recently downed by his forces is not worth reverse engineering.
Amir Ali Hajizadeh, Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary
Corps Guard Aerospace Forces, said on Friday that Iran’s technology in making
drones is more advanced than that which Israel uses in making the Hermes.
Speaking in interview with Tasnim news agency he said "The Israeli
espionage technology was nothing special. Israel and its technology are
unclean, therefore, Iran will not look after their technology and will not
mass-produce Hermes.”
He further pointed to Israel’s espionage acts against Iran and
said "If Israel sends any more drones for espionage to Iran, we will down them
the same way we downed Hermes.”
Also asked about the state of the S300 missiles delivery by Russia
to Iran, he said "The delivery of S300 missiles from Russia to Iran has met
some disagreement which are not yet resolved and we are not looking forward to
it either.”
Asked about Iran’s help in arming the Palestinian West Bank
he stated that to do so is ordered by the Supreme Leader and it is a duty for the
Iranian armed forces to arm the West Bank.
