TEHERAN, KOMPAS.com - Pasukan Pengawal Revolusi Iran, Selasa (4/12/2012), mengklaim berhasil menangkap sebuah pesawat tanpa awal alias drone berukuran kecil di atas perairan Teluk Persia setelah drone itu memasuki wilayah udara Iran.

"Drone milik AS itu melakukan patroli di Teluk Persia, melakukan pengintaian dan mengumpulkan data intelijen. Drone itu ditangkap begitu memasuki wilayah udara Iran," demikian pernyataan Angkatan Laut Pengawal Revolusi Iran seperti dikutip lembaga penyiaran pemerintah Iran, IRIB.

Pernyataan itu tidak memberi penjelasan kapan, di mana atau bagaimana cara drone itu ditangkap. Pernyataan itu hanya menjelaskan bahwa drone itu sudah melakukan pengintaian selama beberapa hari terakhir.

Angkatan Laut Iran, mengatakan drone itu adalah jenis ScanEagle buatan Boeing. Drone ini adalah jenis pengintai jarak pendek dengan rentang sayap tiga meter dan biasa diluncurkan dari kapal perang dan bisa terbang hingga jarak 100 km.

Satu tahun lalu, Iran juga mengklaim berhasil menangkap sebuah drone yang berukuran lebih besar dan lebih canggih, yaitu jenis RQ-170 Sentinel. Teheran saat itu menolak permintaan AS untuk mengembalikan drone tersebut dan akan menggunakan hasil tangkapan itu untuk membuat drone sendiri.

US ScanEagle Drone 'Captured' By Republican Guard Over Iran

The Iranian regime has “captured” a ScanEagle US drone, according to state broadcaster IRIB. The country’s Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) released a statement on Tuesday saying that the unmanned craft was taken after it entered Iranian airspace.

The drone, which was gathering information over the Gulf, was "captured" by a naval unit of the IRGC.
The statement read: "The unmanned US drone patrolling Persian Gulf waters, performing reconnaissance and gathering intel, was captured as soon as it entered Iranian airspace."

The statement did not say how the drone was “captured”, but the incident was reported to have happened in the past few days.

It added that the ScanEagle, built by Boeing, is designed to take off from large vessels or warships.

A US naval spokesperson told Reuters that they were "aware" of the reports and were looking in to them.

Last month, the Iranian regime threatened to act "decisively" over any encroachment into its airspace, following reports of repeated flights by US drones over the Gulf.

Iran’s ambassador to the UN also sent a strongly worded letter to Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon complaining of “illegal and provocative” flights by unmanned US vehicles over its sovereign airspace.
