(CNN) -- Iran said Sunday it had shot down what it described as two Western spy planes over the Persian Gulf, according to Iranian media reports.

Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, air force commander for Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps, made the comments to Payam Engelab, or Message of the Revolution, an internal Islamic Revolution Guard Corps publication, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.

 It sounds like they shot down unmanned reconnaissance plane if it is true.... 

It is funny that IRI does not want guys to wear ties to spread Western culture, but they do want to copy the Western techonology:

 After shooting down the planes, the Revolution Guard Corps copied and produced them in large numbers through reverse engineering, Fars said.
