Downed drone looks likes a Hermes 900 by Elbit systems.

Many mysteries to wonder about

  •  Which air base did it take off from to Reach Iran ?  Eritria? South Sudan? or a Israeli secret sub/ship operating in the Persian Gulf ?
  • Was it refueled in flight? If no, then what is the new range of the Hermes 900 drone
  • How far it it penetrate into Iranian airspace before it was detected?  If it is very close to Natanz, then Iran has a reason to worry. If you look up Natanz in the map below, it is approximately in the center of Iran.
  • If the drone took off from Israel, did the Saudis allow it to use Saudi Airspace?

Director of the IRGC’s Public Relations Department General Ramezan Sharif told on Sunday night that some of the parts of the downed aircraft are working, “and our experts are studying the information and intelligence of these parts”.“We are now analyzing the information of this plane,” he added.Gen. Sharif further mentioned that Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh will soon reveal more details on the spy drone and the way it has been hunted down by his forces.

Natanz is Iran’s main uranium enrichment facility. Iran’s plans for its future enrichment capacity, however, have been a serious obstacle to a comprehensive agreement with world powers over the future of the country’s nuclear program.Natanz nuclear facility has 10,006 thousand units of centrifuges for uranium enrichment.The Israelis have said that if Iran nuclear talks fail to produce an agreement containing the country’s nuclear program, it could take military action to destroy Natanz facility.
