Iranian C-300 shot down US strategic drone RQ-4 Global Hawk

The Iranian air defense system destroyed the US strategic unmanned aerial vehicle.

A few minutes ago it became known that the Iranian air defense system launched a guided missile that successfully hit the American military reconnaissance UAV RQ-4 Global Hawk. The incident occurred at the time of the violation of Iran’s airspace by the Persian Gulf.

According to some reports, to defeat the American strategic reconnaissance drone RQ-4 Global Hawk, the S-300 complex was used, which was previously deployed to this region to ensure airspace protection, after the US threatened to launch a military operation in the Middle East. To date, this is the longest-range air defense system in service with Iran, but there is no official confirmation of the information that the S-300 air defense system was used.

It is known that the unmanned aerial vehicle fell on the territory of Iran, in particular, it is reported that we are talking about the province of Hormozgan.

There are no official comments from the United States on this score, however, according to experts, an attempt to check the readiness of the Iranian air defense systems could be the cause of the flight of an American UAV in Iranian airspace.
