Iran demonstrates reverse engineered US drone missile on helicopter

A social media account with apparent access to a sensitive Iranian military site posted a video on Thursday depicting missiles fixed to an Iranian military helicopter which it said were copied from those attached to US attack drones.

The aircraft was marked with the insignia of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Iranian military officials in recent days have cited Iran's prowess as a strong deterrent against any US military solution to the nuclear standoff with Iran which has been repeatedly mooted by US President Donald Trump.
