Replicating the body is probably fairly easy, if you are using fibreglass or something.
However, that doesn’t mean much if they are only going to show off their creation and not fly it.
Is this the drone with the suitcase nuke in it?
Can it fly? Or will it float.

Why couldn’t the US have engineered a destruct mechanism into the drone to prevent this capture from happening?
So they built a mockup. Wow.
Obama is probably so proud of his support for Iran. GOD help us all.
This story reminds me of the 2006 story about the Iranian super torpedos...

There are about 190 countries in the world and the country at the VERY top of vapid, lying braggarts when it comes to weapon matters is IRAN —they’re FAMOUS for this and have been for quite some time.
Liberal photoshopping, fake “stealth airplanes”, “flying submarines” —the lying list from the Mullahs is very, very long, and often it’s so obvious that it’s embarrassing.
It is even possible that the CIA deliberately crashed this drone in Iran IN ORDER to have it stolen and copied —probably along with lots of fake stuff and secret off switches.
The only wild card is that Obama hates the American military, so...it’s not 100% on this particular one.
The mandatory full-body purdah interferes somewhat with the aerodynamics, however.
It will fly just after the Russian space shuttle copy of ours flies.. oh wait
Lol. The materials used are so far beyond Iran that it isn’t even funny. It’s like a caveman trying to forge a katana. Exactly like, in fact.
Is it made of figs or dates?
This from a country that fought an 8 year war with Iraq to a stalemate, losing at least 250,000 solders. It took how many days for the U.S. to defeat Iraq?
Iran is a legend in their own mind.
Formed fiberglass. What are the little downturned winglets on the rearwings? Sort of a nod to Clint Eastwood’s super amazing fighter from the 70’s, Firefox?
The fiberglass hull gets in the way of the buttons on each side of the pilot’s seat, of the unmanned plane.
So, they can make something that looks...sorta like...the Sentinnel. It is definitely smaller.
But what is inside of it?
They also produced their version of a fifth generation fighter...which when it was revealed what its components were, and when people got a hard look at it, it was clear that it would never fly.
Until we see these in the air...and then until we see how they perform, this is just another mockup on an Iranian display floor.
It also means it is highly likely that Russia and China have also reverse engineered this drone and deploy it.
In fact, Russia’s MiG bureau is now dedicated solely to unmanned platforms.
