\u201cToday, we rank first in the missile technology at the\u00a0regional level\u00a0and are placed among the few global powers in this regard,\u201d Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the Aerospace Division of the IRGC, said on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The senior Iranian military official said the same ranking applies to the country\u2019s status in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles.<\/p>\n\n

Hajizadeh went on to say that the recent downing of an intruding high-tech US spy drone was indicative of Iran\u2019s counteroffensive prowess and proved its capability of constructing radar and rocket defense systems.<\/p>\n\n
