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.

How to Choose the Best Drone for Photography
This article will discuss how to find the perfect drone for your needs. We will show you what features to look out for when purchasing a drone.
Let's begin by discussing some tips and tricks for selecting a drone to suit your needs.
It is important to measure the product's size before purchasing any type of product. If you're going to take photos from above, then you'll probably find that a larger-sized camera is easier to control than one that's smaller. This is especially true if your are a beginner pilot. You don't want to get into trouble because you were too scared to go higher!
A second consideration is to examine the quality of the camera's sensor. The larger the sensor, you can capture better quality images.
Another option is to purchase a remote control. These devices allow you to track your drone's position in space, making it easier to fly.
You'll also need to decide whether you want a fixed mount to use with your camera or a gimbal. You can shoot stills while flying with a gimbal. It makes it easier to hold steady and gives you a wider range of movement. They do come at a higher price depending on the product you are after.
