As the Qods Mohajer-10 armed drone is unveiled in Tehran, Babak Taghvaee discusses its capabilities and its competition in Iran.
Iran’s drones have become a real threat not just in the Middle East region, but more recently in Ukraine, where Russia is using hundreds of them to attack civilian populations. Now, Qods Aviation Industries Company, Iran’s oldest unmanned aerial vehicle manufacturer, has designed and developed a remote-controlled medium-altitude long-endurance (MALE) drone named Mohajer-10.
Unveiling
The prototype took its first flight in Shahin-Shahr, Isfahan on July 10, 2023, and was subsequently unveiled to the public during the Iranian Ministry of Defence and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL) expo on August 22.
