Iran airs images extracted from US drone
IRAN'S state TV has broadcast footage allegedly extracted from the advanced CIA spy drone captured in 2011.
Iran has long claimed it managed to reverse-engineer the RQ-170 Sentinel, seized in December 2011 after it entered Iranian airspace from its eastern border with Afghanistan, and that it's capable of launching its own production line for the unmanned aircraft.
After initially saying only that a drone had been lost near the Afghan-Iran border, American officials eventually confirmed the Sentinel had been monitoring Iran's military and nuclear facilities. Washington asked for it back but Iran refused.
Iran has claimed to have captured several US drones, most recently in December when it seized a ScanEagle drone after it entered Iranian airspace over the Persian Gulf.
