A day after the Iran said it had shot down an Israeli spy drone over the Iranian skies, it’s now been revealed that the aircraft was a Hermes radar-evading type.

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Spokesman Brigadier General Ramadan Sharif said that the drone shot down by Iran is an Israeli-made Hermes drone, says an Iranian commander.

On Monday, the IRGC released the first photos of the down spy drone.

Also a brief video, which aired on the Arabic-language Al-Alam TV, shows what the channel says are parts of an Israeli drone, scattered in an unidentified desert area.

Text accompanying the footage says the drone was shot down on Saturday and identifies it as a Hermes 450, a known Israeli model.

The Israeli stealth drone was hit by a surface-to-air missile before reaching the skies over Natanz nuclear facilities in central Iran.
