New Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Spotted at Iranian Military Exercise

Iran’s new Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) were spotted this week during the Great Prophet 7 Iranian military exercise:

Iranian Pahpad UAV

The image above shows the “Pahpad” drone, used by Syria to spy on the clashes in Homs.

 

The second image shows a new type of drone much similar to the Hermes 450 UAV, a quite famous Israeli drone. It may be either modified/upgraded/cloned Israeli drone.

The above UAV is a brand new drone seemingly available in dual configuration: landing gear (image above) or skids (image below). It seems to be smaller in size than the “Hermes 450″-type of UAV but it features a large fuselage (if compared to the size of the wings) and camera.

 

Iranian 003

New UAV as above, with Skid Configuration.

 

Iranian-004

The last one (above) shows another new type with swept wings, twin tail booms and two canted fins on the opposite as the above model (which features the typical Reaper canted vertical stabilizers). It seems to be colored white

So, it seems like Tehran, that claims it will duplicate the captured U.S. RQ-170 stealth drone is working a lot on drones (either developing new types or cloning existing ones).
