Iran's drone programme is based on the Predator. This is a model of U.S. Air Force Predator. The Shahed 129 aircraft was launched in 2010 and was modeled after the Predator. Iran also built a new runway at Jakigur in 2015. The Shahed 129 was the only drone to bear the name of an American action hero.
Mohajer-2
The Mohajer-2 is a modified version of the Mohajer. It is more versatile in terms of operational range and navigation. The Mohajer-2 was developed by the Iranian Air Force and took over production from the original Mohajer. The Mohajer-2 measured 9.6 ft in length and had 12.5 ft wingspan. Its propulsion system incorporated a WAE-342 series 2-stroke engine that produced 25 horsepower and a pusher propeller. It had straight fuselage with wing tips that clipped and mainplanes that ran near the midships.
Iranian officials successfully converted their Mohajers (Ababils) into advanced UAVs. UN Peacekeepers interrogated Iran's government in 2008 about the presence drones in Sudan. The Iranian government said that the drones were Zagils. Two of the drones were shot down by rebels in Sudan. Venezuela later acquired the Mohajer-2 UAVs. However, it has not been able detect them.
Karrar interceptor
The Karrar Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles and one-way missiles is called. The drone's wing design allows for it to operate at high altitudes and speeds. Both types of missions can be performed by the drone, as well recording images of the targets for ground control systems. It can also carry munition. The unitary bomb weighs 500 lbs and the weapon it carries is smaller. They would kill all civilians and drones in the area if they shot it down.
The Karrar unmanned aircraft vehicle is a clone the Beechcraft MQM-107 Streaker. It was a US military target that was exported to Iran during Shah's reign. The Iranians reverse-engineered this aircraft to make the Karrar. The drone can reach speeds of 500 mph and is capable of carrying 250-pound anti-ship missiles, a GPS-guided bomb, or even a small cruise missile.
