Iran’s Revolutionary Guard demonstrated a new UAV during war games earlier this month.
The exercise featured the Hamaseh (“Epic”) ISR and strike unmanned aircraft, according to Iran’s Fars News Agency.
“It was the first time for Hamaseh to be used in military exercises. The drone was unveiled in 2013 and enjoys the capability to carry out simultaneous protection, reconnaissance and attacking missions. The drone is equipped with the latest Iran-made missiles and bombs.”
Other Iranian-made drones used in the war games included the Mohajer, Ababil and Shahed.
In addition, Iran displayed in February the Shaded 129, an armed UAV that Iran claims has a range of 1,300 miles and carries four missiles. The IRGC announced in February that the Shahed 129 is flying combat missions in Syria, Fars said.
