Iranian TV publishes shocking warehouse footage of captured US & Israeli MQ-9 Reapers, Hermes 900s

Iran has released footage showing what it says are recovered U.S. MQ-9 Reaper and Israeli Hermes 900 drones, claiming the aircraft were captured largely intact during recent hostilities. The display has fueled fresh speculation over whether Iranian engineers could study advanced sensors, datalinks and other sensitive technologies to strengthen the country's indigenous drone programs. The unveiling also comes amid Tehran's claims that newly deployed air defenses successfully intercepted Western aircraft. But how significant are these captured systems, and could they reshape the next phase of the drone race?
