Claim
The IRGC electronic warfare unit also said it captured two LUCAS drones, according to the state news agency IRNA.

Evidence
My searches did not produce usable results. The first search returned only an unrelated Wikipedia page about the Shahed 191 drone. The later searches failed because the search tool's usage limit was exceeded. I found no IRNA report, no Reuters, AFP, Bellingcat or EUvsDisinfo fact-check, and no independent confirmation or denial that the IRGC captured two LUCAS drones.
Assessment
I found no independent corroboration and no existing fact-check, so the claim stays unverified. It is also an Iranian state-media claim of a battlefield capture, and I could not check it against any other source.
Confidence
Little or no independent corroboration was found - this reflects the current state of public evidence, not a guess.
