Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has released a drone footage that shows the US military destroying one of its own UAVs for the fear that it might be seized by resistance forces in Iraq and Syria.

According to IRGC Aerospace Commanded Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, the US drone operating in Syria and Iraq had to make an emergency landing due to a problem it faced during its flight.

The drone was landed with difficulty in a desert area 10 km away from a US base, a report by Fars news agency said.

"However, the Americans did not dare to approach their own drone" and had to bomb it with a jet fighter, it added.

“Seven or eight aerial vehicles with regular flights in Syria and Iraq were under our control; we could monitor their data, and managed to acquire their first-hand information,” General Hajizadeh said.

The footage released by the IRGC first shows the US drone facing a technical failure, and then a second drone sent by the US military to monitor the first UAV, and capture its destruction by a US jet fighter.
