Iran’s Fars News Agency disclosed on Tuesday that an American Arleigh Burke-class destroyer had been successfully attacked by the Ababil (Flock of Birds)-V drone in the northern segment of the body of water.
Before beginning the surveillance operation against the US vessel, the plane is said to have taken off from a base on the Iranian island of Jask.
The unmanned aerial vehicle body of the Ababil class may absorb radar signals, making it difficult for reconnaissance equipment to detect it.
