Early this morning, at 02:29, the fifty-second MQ-9 drone of the terrorist U.S. Army was intercepted and destroyed by the fire of the advanced aerospace defense system of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in the skies over Qeshm Island.

History of Destroying Intruding Drones

This action is part of the IRGC's extensive efforts to protect the country's airspace. During the imposed war, hundreds of intruding drones, including "Lucas," "Hermes," "MQ-1," and "MQ-9" drones, have been shot down by the country's air defense. These operations demonstrate the high capabilities of Iran's air defense and the constant readiness of the armed forces to respond to external threats.

Recent Operations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

A few days ago, the public relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reported the destruction of an unmanned vessel (drone) of the U.S. Army at the entrance of the strategic Strait of Hormuz. This operation took place on Thursday evening, September 19, and is considered a precise, intelligent, and timely action in defense of the territorial integrity and vital interests of the country.

The destruction of these drones not only has a direct impact on the military capabilities of the United States but also boosts the morale of the armed forces and raises awareness of the country's defensive capabilities. These operations seem to indicate the determination and will of the IRGC to maintain national security and respond to the military movements of enemies.

In recent years, the Iranian armed forces have enhanced and updated their air defense systems, increasing their capabilities against aerial threats. These successes clearly demonstrate the tireless and intelligent efforts of the military forces in maintaining peace and security in the country.
