New Iranian UAV based on captured U.S. drone filmed today over Damascus, Syria
Do you remember the Yasir drone, a modified copy of the Boeing ScanEagle (captured by the Iranians in 2012) that was unveiled on Sept. 28?
It was filmed today, Nov. 9, over Damascus suburb Hujaira AlBalad, in Syria.
Although the quality of the footage is poor, you can clearly identify the Yasir and its distinctive shape: the modified ScanEagle features a twin-tailboom empennage and an inverted v-tail elerudder similar to that of the RQ-7 Shadow.
The Yasir can be disassembled and carried in a suitcase.
Funny how fast the “new” UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) was delivered to Assad’s forces.
