Iranian state media published footage from an underground depot containing the remains of unmanned aerial vehicles and fighter jets said to belong to the United States and Israel. The aircraft were said to have been downed by Iranian air defense systems, but the claims were not independently verified.
The footage showed an Israeli Hermes 900 unmanned aerial vehicle said to have been downed by new air defense systems. The aircraft appeared largely intact and bore the serial number 923.
The underground depot also contained the wreckage of numerous US-made MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicles said to have been downed since the start of the war. The footage additionally showed a part identified as belonging to a C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft, the remains of a fighter jet cockpit and the wreckage of numerous unmanned aerial vehicles.
Independent examination also did not verify that the parts shown belonged definitively to the specified aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicle models.
