Shahed 129

This drone is considered one of the most capable UAVs in Iran's arsenal. Visually, it strongly resembles the US RQ-1 / MQ-1 Predator. It made its first flight in the spring of 2012.
Purpose - reconnaissance and aerial target strikes (since 2016)

Flight time - 24 hours

Range - 1,700 km

Combat power - 4 Sadid-345 precision-guided munitions, 400 kg payload

Features: This drone is a full piston aircraft with 16 wings and is a replica of the Israeli Elbit Hermes 450 UAV that crashed in Iran. According to other reports, it is a copy of the US Predator UAV and the Chinese Wing Loong II.

British spy planes are now flying with fighter jet escorts to provide them with better security, the minister noted.

So far, Russia has remained silent on the alleged run-in and has not produced any public statements on the incident.

In 2021, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, the number of reconnaissance flights staged by NATO in the Black Sea Region increased by more than 60% compared to 2020.

Gtovr:
“A reply by the Russian Minister of Defense on the 10th of October, stated that they have conducted an investigation into the circumstances of the incident and stated it was a technical malfunction of the Su-27 fighter,” he revealed, adding that Moscow “acknowledged that the incident took place in international airspace.”

Gtovr:
According to Wallace, the incident was accidental and Moscow blamed it on a technical malfunction. He added that London had accepted this explanation.

The run-in between the spy plane and the fighter jet occurred on September 29. Following the incident, London temporarily suspended patrols and expressed concerns to Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, Wallace noted.

Gtovr:
Iran has so far produced about 40 models of various drones. The main families (lines) of Iranian UAVs are Ababil, Kaman, Kian, Mohajer, and Shahed.
According to experts, Iran's most effective and powerful drones are represented by the Shahed, Mohajer, Kaman, and Kian families.

Gtovr:
Such progress is based on several fundamentals: scientific and technical cooperation, primarily with China; the use of technologies and components for their own production, obtained officially, semi-officially or unofficially (intelligence); and the acquisition of real samples of American and Israeli drones for the purpose of deep study and possible reverse engineering.

Gtovr:
Iran has made significant progress in the development and production of a full range of UAVs of all major classes, from light tactical reconnaissance vehicles to heavy reconnaissance and strike systems, both carrying guided aerial bombs and short-range missiles, and barraging munitions, the so-called kamikaze drones.

Gtovr:
Virtually all the enterprises in this industry, which are supervised by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), are in one way or another involved in the development and production of UAVs.

Iran then started the mass production of drones, which could compensate for the insufficient capacity of Iran's Air Force, including the inability to build fully-fledged combat aircraft.

Gtovr:
In the post-war period, Tehran decided to concentrate its efforts on the creation and development of unmanned aerial systems. The Iranian aviation industry included several scientific and technical organizations, a number of aircraft construction and aircraft repair plants, as well as numerous related enterprises producing various components. 

Gtovr:
Iran became interested in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones for short, in the 1980s during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988). The first family of Iranian drones was the Ababil, which were simple mechanisms called “flying munitions.” Together with reconnaissance UAVs developed somewhat later, they were successfully used on the battle fronts.

43 Years Under Sanctions: How Iran Built Drones

Although Iran has survived under sanctions for nearly half a century, the country has shown a remarkable ability to produce, reverse engineer, and develop its own unmanned aerial vehicles.
