Iran will display the maquette of the downed U.S. drone in public next Saturday, the Sepah news affiliated to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) reported Wednesday.
The IRGC said in an announcement that it will display the maquette in the demonstrations which will be held on Feb. 11 to mark the anniversary of the establishment of the Islamic republic.
It did not say whether the maquette will be shown only in Tehran or in other cities too. The demonstrations to mark the victory of the Islamic revolution in 1979 are held every year nationwide in Iran.
In December 2011, Iranian media reported that the Iranian military downed the U.S. RQ-170 stealth aircraft in the eastern part of the country after finding it transgressing the eastern border. The country's state TV later showed the footage of the drone. |
