Iran Readying to Fly Own Model of US RQ-170 Drone

.
The TF34 is only 1.25 meters tall and 2.62 meters long.

The Iranian government said the RQ-170 is 1.84m tall and 4.5m long.
It can easily fit.

The TF34 is a tough engine. Some last as long as 3400 hours. Perfect for a UAV that would log long hours.
firstly, none of Iranian officials have said anything about RQ-170's dimension, provide a link for your words.
secondly, unless we say all of the people in this picture are above 2 meter, 1.84m height is clearly incorrect, even with open wheels:

commander's shoulder width:141px =50cm, mine is 48cm, yet let say 50cm for commander
red circle:223px = 79cm, biggest available space for engine, very unlikely (because of the drone's FLIR), but possible.
orange circle=184px=65cm, my guess and very possible space.

Video: Captured U.S. drone (RQ-170) - Tehran Times
"The wing-to-wing width of the RQ-170 Sentinel drone is around 26 meters with a length of 4.5 meters and height of 1.84 meters."

Obviously Tehran Times is mistaken and that is with the wheels down.

Of course maybe Tehran Times is mistaken and that is with the wheels down.
No, they have made a bigger mistake, other websites have published some general info about RQ170 from internet, but tehrantimes has published these info as a quote from commander. look at the source of that article: PressTV, irib, farsnews. I suggest you to use them instead.
