Moscow: Iran has said it will send to the US a toy model of a RQ-170 Sentinel drone in response to Washington’s request to return the pilotless aircraft that crashed in Iran, Iran’s Radio Payam said Tuesday.
The miniature — that will bear an inscription “We will trample the US” — will be sent to Washington during a special ceremony to mark the 34th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Iran Feb 5.
Iran said it brought down the US stealth reconnaissance drone, which crossed into Iranian airspace from neighbouring Afghanistan and fell there Dec 4.
A group of Iranians decided to manufacture and market a 1:80 scale model of the drone “at their own expense”, the radio said.
The model, measuring 30 cm by 14 cm, will cost 70,000 rials, or around $6 at the current exchange rate.
