TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s Defense Ministry unveiled a drone on Tuesday resembling America’s armed MQ-9 Reaper, claiming that the aircraft is capable of staying airborne for 24 hours and has the range to reach the country’s archenemy Israel.

Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency published a photograph of the drone, called the Mohajer-10, on display at a conference marking Defense Industry Day with what appeared to be smoke-machine fog underneath it.

“Mohajer” means “immigrant” in Farsi and has been a drone line manufactured by the Islamic Republic since 1985.
IRNA said the drone is able to fly up to 24,000 feet with a speed of 210 kph (130 mph), carrying a bomb payload of up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds). It also said the drone could carry electronic surveillance equipment and a camera. Iran’s hard-line President Ebrahim Raisi, a protégé of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also viewed the drone on Tuesday.

Do you know how much money Iran spends on defense compared to their education, social welfare, healthcare etc.?

Looks like about 2.2% of GDP

For reference, the US spends about 12%

@FranquitoReynolds

Cool, now use it

yeah they also developed a taser which kills young women who dare go outside without the headscarf

Huh, wonder where they got one of those

Last time they tried to use a home made product they ended up rocketing down their own passenger plane.

Lol their is no social welfare there (unless you are a hizbullahi)
And they still use crude oil heaters back in schools. Every year kids in impoverished areas die in school fires cause of this s***.

These bozo’s wont do s***

Iranian innovation

Immigrant is a interesting name

S*** design tho,

They need to make one that looks like the Ayatollah's turban

S*** will probably combust on launch

Iranians invented everything as far as history goes but this arab mullah montage got american and chinese parts in it

Iran under extreme sanctions still able to innovate and create advanced weaponry to defend their land and culture.

Where other countries in the region failed and folded to Western power, Iran continues to succeed to maintain its independence. Inspirational. Love to see it

Kinda why I asked it cause Iran is always in the news when it comes to their weaponry

Wondered how it related to other expenses

I dont know what you are smoking brother, perhaps some mary jane laughing tobacco but I assure you quality of life is much better in neighbouring countries like Kuwait, qatar
... if a laborer in Iran saved a quarter of his pay a month it would take him 6 months to save enough to buy the new Huawei cellphone

i mean sure but let’s not ignore the russians probably helped them with most of it

These big announcements are meant to notify the Hidden Imam. According to Sahih Hadiths the Army of Mahdi will be fully equipped with modern warfare technology ready for the Hidden Imam to reappear.
