Iran's drone program is based upon the Predator. It is a replica of the U.S. Air Force Predator. The Shahed 129, a model of the Predator's Shahed 129, was launched in 2010. Iran built a new airport at Jakigur in 2015, as well. One of the few drones that was named after an American action figure, Shahed 129, was also one.
Mohajer-2
The Mohajer-2 (an improved version) is capable of more navigation and operational range. The Iranian Air Force developed the Mohajer-2 and took over production of the original Mohajer. The Mohajer-2 measured 9.6 feet in length and had a wingspan of 12.5 feet. The propulsion system featured a WAE-342 Series 2-stroke engine producing 25 horsepower and an electric propeller. It had straight mainplanes close to the midships with clipped wing tips.
Iranian government successfully converted its Ababils, Mohajers, into advanced UAVs. UN Peacekeepers asked Iran's government about drones in Sudan in 2008. The Iranian government replied that they were Zagils and renamed Ababil-3. Two of these drones were downed by rebels in Sudan. Venezuela was then able to acquire the Mohajer-2 UAVs but has not been capable of detecting them.
Karrar interceptor
The Karrar Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles and one-way missiles is called. Its wing design allows it to operate at a high altitude and speed. It can perform both missions and take images of targets to record for ground control systems. It is also capable of carrying munitions. It is believed to be able to carry a 500-lb unitary explosive bomb as well as two smaller weapons. If the Israelis were to shoot one down, they would kill both people and drones in the vicinity.
The Karrar Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is a cloned version of the Beechcraft MQM-107 Streaker. It was a US military target that was exported to Iran during Shah's reign. The Iranians reverse-engineered the aircraft to produce the Karrar. The drone can reach speeds up to 500 mph. It can also carry 250-pound antiship missiles and a GPS directed bomb.
