The Shahed 171, 'Witness 171' in English, is a turbojet-powered reconnaissance unmanned air vehicle (UAV) developed by Iran under its weapons program started in 1992 as a response to the United States arms embargo. The Shahed 171 has benefited from the US Air Force RQ-170 drone that Iran captured in 2011. The Iranian drone seems to be a copy of the US aircraft.
