Senior Iranian commander Added on Thursday that Iranian forces warned off the intruding American aircrafts in recent days and made them fly away.
The Lockheed U2, nicknamed "Dragon Lady", is an American single-jet engine, ultra-high altitude reconnaissance aircraft operated by the US Air Force. The spy plane can fly at an altitude of 21,000 meters and provide day and night and all-weather intelligence gathering as it carries high-resolution cameras and sensors.
The Iranian Army Air Defense Base reportedly warned off a US radar-evading UAV in late August which had sought to intrude on Iranian airspace.
The US spy drone had sought to cross into Iran through the eastern border from neighboring Afghanistan. However, it was immediately detected and forced to leave the area after a “timely and stern” warning by the Air Defense Base.
