Iran’s Revolutionary Guard unveiled a new attack drone which it cliamed is similar to a U.S. unmanned aerial vehicle captured five years ago and is capable of carrying bombs, state media reported on Saturday.
The drone, called the “Saegheh,” or Thunderbolt, was unveiled at an expo by the Revolutionary Guard.
“This long-range drone is capable of hitting four targets with smart precision-guided bombs with high accuracy,” the head of the Revolutionary Guards’ aerospace arm, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA, Reuters reported.
Regim’s Tasnim news agency said the drone is similar to the RQ-170 Sentinel spy drone used by the U.S. Iran’s state-run Press TV said the long-range drone can carry four precision-guided bombs.
