Iran's drone program is built on the Predator. The Predator is a U.S. Air Force model. The Shahed 129, a model of the Predator's Shahed 129, was launched in 2010. Iran built a new airport at Jakigur in 2015, as well. The Shahed 129 was among the few drones to bear the American action hero's name.
Mohajer-2
The Mohajer-2 (an improved version) is capable of more navigation and operational range. The Iranian Air Force created the Mohajer-2, which took over the production of the original Mohajer. The Mohajer-2 measured 9.6 ft in length and had 12.5 ft wingspan. It used a WAE-342-2 stroke 2-stroke engine, producing 25 horsepower, and a pusher propeller. The fuselage featured straight mainplanes in the midships, and wing tips that were clipped.
The Iranian government has successfully converted its Ababils and Mohajers into advanced UAVs. UN Peacekeepers asked Iran's government about drones in Sudan in 2008. The Iranian government replied that they were Zagils and renamed Ababil-3. Two of the drones were shot down by rebels in Sudan. Venezuela was then able to acquire the Mohajer-2 UAVs but has not been capable of detecting them.
Karrar interceptor
The Karrar Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles and one-way missiles is called. The drone's wing design allows for it to operate at high altitudes and speeds. Both types of missions can be performed by the drone, as well recording images of the targets for ground control systems. It can also transport munitions. It is believed to carry a 500-lb unitary bomb and two smaller weapons. If the Israelis were to shoot one down, they would kill both people and drones in the vicinity.
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. The Iranians reverse-engineered it to create the Karrar. The drone can reach speeds up to 500 mph. It can also carry 250-pound antiship missiles and a GPS directed bomb.
FAQ
What US states have drones made legal?
You can legally operate a drone for hobby purposes. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has set up guidelines that allow people to use small unmanned aircraft systems (UASs). Before UASs can be flown, they must be registered with FAA. These UASs can also be flown by commercial operators if they are allowed to fly under certain conditions.
What is the difference between a quadcopter and a hexacopter?
A quadcopter can be described as a quadrotor helicopter with four rotors. It flies the same way as a traditional helicopter. The quadcopter has four independent rotors. A hexacopter is similar to a quadcopter except that it has six rotors instead of four. Hexacopters can be more stable and maneuverable that quadcopters.
What are the rules of operation when using drones?
Registering your drone with FAA is required. This registration process includes submitting information about the device, including its weight, size, battery capacity, and operating frequency. This registration process requires that you obtain an FAA identification code.

How do I clean my drones?
These are some important things to remember before cleaning your drone. If you want to make sure you get every last bit out of your drone, then read this guide!
-
Be sure to have all the tools you need. Before you start anything, make sure you have everything you need at hand. You'll need a soft brush (or a toothbrush) and cleaning solution (we recommend WD40)

The battery pack should be removed. First, take out the battery. It is often easy to find the battery beneath the propeller. Take care to not loose any screws while removing it.
-
Take off all parts. Next, remove all parts from the drone's underside. Check that none of them are loose, as they may fall off when you try to clean the machine.
-
Use a cleaning product. Now, clean your drone. Before doing so, we recommend using a cleaning solution such as WD40. Spray the entire surface of the drone with the cleaner. Make certain to get in between components. Let it dry completely before you put everything back together.
-
Replace the battery. Finally, once you've cleaned your drone, it's important to put the battery back in place. By doing this, you can test how well your drone functions after cleaning.
