🎦 Eurasia Times: Iran has achieved significant gains by capturing the Hermes drone and MQ-9 Reaper. 🔹Iran has showcased the remains of American F-15s along with nearly intact Israeli drones, the Hermes and MQ-9 Reaper, as "war trophies." 🔹The downing of the F-15 near Air Base 48 in Lakenheath quickly became a central symbol of Iran's narratives about air defense success. 🔹The more remarkable trophies are 2 drones that Iran captured intact during Operation "Epic Fury": an American MQ-9 Reaper and an Elbit Systems-built Hermes 900 with serial number 923. 🔹Iran can utilize the technical information from these drones for reverse engineering and adaptation in its programs. 🔹Iran can disassemble these drones and gain access to critical technologies such as optics, sensors, stabilization systems, laser systems, and processing units. 🔹Iran can enhance its day-and-night reconnaissance capabilities or provide guidance for strategies in electronic warfare, jamming, and air defense against similar Western weapons.
