"Breaking | Destruction of a Hermes 900 drone in the sky of Fars    

Public Relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:    

  • A few minutes ago, an advanced Hermes 900 drone in the sky of Lar, Fars province, was tracked and destroyed by the fire of the IRGC's new aerospace defence system under the control of the country's integrated air defence network.   
  • It is emphasised that the entry of any type of American Zionist enemy aircraft into the country's airspace, even without carrying out military operations, is considered a violation of the ceasefire and will be met with a decisive response."
Context
