The capture of two American MQM-170 drones in two separate operations on the 29th and 30th of October not only thwarted the Americans in carrying out their mission but also marked an operational achievement for the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. This incident has provided an opportunity to examine the technologies used in these drones, which could lead to a more accurate understanding of them.
