US U-2 Spy Aircraft Shooed Away Near Iranian Borders
 

TEHRAN (FNA)- Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Farzad Esmayeeli announced that a US U-2 stealth aircraft was alarmed to stay away from the country's borders.

"In the past few days, our forces at Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base warned a US U-2 spy plane which sought to violate Iran's airspace and it was forced to change its direction," General Esmayeeli said addressing a gathering near Tehran on Saturday.

Stressing that the Air Defense forces care for safeguarding the country's borders rather than diplomatic considerations, he said that even the European officials should take permission for flying over the Iranian airspace.

Lieutenant Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier General Alireza Sabahifard had announced in 2014 that Iran's powerful radar systems are capable of tracing the U-2 stealth aircrafts.

Iran's powerful radar systems are capable of tracing the U-2 stealth aircrafts.

Any radar in the world is capable "of tracing[sic]" the U2 since the U2 isn't even remotely close to being a "stealth" aircraft.  Bunch of chest thumping bravado bullshit from islamists...
