Iran’s
Revolutionary Guard has unveiled an attack drone,
capable of carrying missiles and described as the unit’s “most sophisticated”
so far. The Guard’s website says the drone, dubbed Shahed-129, or Witness-29,
can fly up to a distance of 1,700 km, which puts much of
West Asia within its
range. It says the drone has a 24-hour non-stop flight capability, can carry
eight bombs or missiles, and hit both fixed and moving targets. Iran has
claimed to have captured several U.S. drones, including an advanced RQ-170
Sentinel
CIA spy drone in December 2011 and at least three ScanEagle aircraft.
