Iran's drone program is based upon the Predator. It is a replica of the U.S. Air Force Predator. The Shahed 129 was launched in 2010, and was modeled after Predator. Iran also built a new runway at Jakigur in 2015. One of the few drones that was named after an American action figure, Shahed 129, was also one.
Mohajer-2
The Mohajer-2, an upgraded version of the Mohajer, is capable of greater operational range and navigation. The Iranian Air Force was responsible for the development of the Mohajer-2. It took over production duties from the original Mohajer. The Mohajer-2 measured 9.6ft in length with a 12.5ft wingspan. It had a WAE-342 2 stroke engine of 25 horsepower that could also be used as a pusher propeller. Its fuselage featured straight mainplanes near the midships and wing tips that clipped.
The Iranian government has successfully converted its Ababils and Mohajers into advanced UAVs. UN Peacekeepers quizzed Iran's government over the presence of drones near Sudan in 2008. In 2008, Iran replied that the drones are Zagils. Two of these drones were downed by rebels in Sudan. Venezuela acquired the Mohajer-2 UAVs and has never been able to identify them.
Karrar interceptor
The Karrar, an unmanned aerial vehicle from Iran and a one-way cruise missile, is a prototype. The drone can operate at high speeds and at high altitudes thanks to its wing design. The drone can carry out both types of missions as well as record images of ground targets. It can also transport munitions. It is believed to be able to carry a 500-lb unitary explosive bomb as well as two smaller weapons. The Israelis would shoot it down, killing both civilians and drones.
The Karrar is an unmanned aerial vehicle that is a cloned from the Beechcraft MQM-107 Streaker. It was used by the United States as a military target. The US exported it to Iran during Shah's rule. To make the Karrar, the Iranians reverse engineered the aircraft. The drone can reach speeds up to 500 mph. It can also carry 250-pound antiship missiles and a GPS directed bomb.
FAQ
Are Drones Banned Where?
The FAA has banned drones in areas near airports and stadiums. They allow them to fly at nights using GPS technology.
What are the rules of operation for drones?
Register your drone with the FAA. The registration process involves providing information about your drone, such as its weight, size, battery power, and frequency. You will also need to get an FAA identification number.
Can I fly my drone around my neighborhood?
Yes! These are called UAVs (unmanned aircraft vehicles). There are many options for drones, from small quadcopters to larger fixed-wing aircraft. New rules have been issued by the FAA regarding commercial use of UAVs. This means that you can legally fly them for business purposes. You should be aware, however, that UAVs flying near airports can cause interference with air traffic control systems. To operate one, you will need to obtain permission from the local authorities.
What laws apply to drones flying above private property?
Recently, the FAA issued new rules regarding commercial drone flight. These rules do not apply to UAVs under 55 pounds or flying at less than 400 feet above sea level. Commercial operators must register with FAA to receive a license. They must also obtain permission from local authorities if they plan to operate in restricted areas, such as airports.

How To
Repairing A Damaged Motor Of A Drone
First, identify the broken part of the motor to repair it. The easiest way to do this is to remove the propeller from the motor shaft. You should then remove the wires that are attached to the motor, and examine the inner workings. If you see something wrong, then you know what part of the motor you have to fix.
If there are no damages to the motor you don't have too much to worry about. However, if your motor looks anything like these images, then you will need some parts replaced before you can fly.
Imagine that the motor has become bent to the point it will not turn. To get the motor to turn again, you'll need to bend it. You could use a vice grip or a pair of pliers to hold the motor while bending it back into shape. After you have completed this step, be sure to inspect the motor for any signs of wear.
Once everything is fine, place the propeller onto the motor shaft. Now your drone is ready to fly!
