Iran said on Sunday it has succeeded in copying a US drone it captured in December 2011, with state television broadcasting images apparently showing the replicated aircraft.

Iran's state TV has broadcast footage allegedly extracted from the CIA drone captured in 2011. The video aired late Wednesday shows an aerial view of an airport and a city, said to be Kandahar, Afghanistan.

Iran claimed on Tuesday it had captured a US drone after it entered Iranian airspace over the Persian Gulf- even showing an image of a purportedly downed craft on state TV - but the U.S. Navy said all its unmanned aircraft in the region were "fully accounted for."
