Iran’s Homemade Long Range War Drone In Air, Covers ME
Local Editor
Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps [IRGC] unveiled Tuesday a new indigenous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with 24-hour nonstop flight capability.
The new drone, called Shahed 129, can carry out combat and reconnaissance missions with its 24-hour nonstop flight capability.
The home-made aircraft is capable of hitting targets at a distance of 1,700-2,000 kilometers. That covers much of the Middle East including Occupied Palestine and nearly doubles the range of previous drones produced by Iranian technicians.
It can be equipped with electronic and communication systems including cameras which can capture and send live images.
Iranian military officials have said that Shahed 129 drone can increase Iran's surveillance capabilities in border areas, the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
Earlier on Monday, IRGC successfully test-fired the country's latest domestically-manufactured anti-aircraft missile system.
The mid-range missile system, called Raad, is equipped with Taer 2 missiles and can intercept targets at a range of 50 kilometers and fly at an altitude of 75,000 feet.
In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems, proving that the US-led illegal sanctions on the Iranian military industry have been ineffective.
Iran has repeatedly stated that its military might poses no threat to other countries, reiterating that its defense doctrine is based on deterrence.
