TEHRAN (Iran News) – The Islamic Republic of Iran Army unveiled two new drone achievements during the visit of the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri to an army-owned UAV secret base.
Major General Mohammad Bagheri visited an army-owned UAV secret base on Saturday. During his visit, the ‘Heidar-1’ cruise missile and ‘Heidar-2’ cruise UAV were unveiled by the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
According to the announced information, the ‘Heidar-1’ cruise missile has a range of 200 kilometers and its speed at the moment of hitting the target is 1,000 km/h. It is the first cruise missile capable of firing from a drone.
By setting up such a secret base designed and constructed hundreds of meters deep in the ground, the Islamic Republic has turned into the drone superpower in the region.
As the secret base which was designed and built at a depth of hundreds of meters has been operationalized, the Islamic Republic of Iran has become the superior drone power in the region.
After visiting the army-owned UAV secret base, General Bagheri emphasized the importance of UAVs in modern warfare.
He also appreciated Iran’s Army Commander Major General Seyyed Abdolrahim Mousavi, saying that one of the concerns of all the country’s commanders in Army Air Defense, Air Force and Navy is how to be prepared for possible future battles.
Iran is one of the top countries in the world in the field of UAVs, he said, adding that the Army is rapidly developing drone power and capability.
Stating that the achievements in the UAV field are completely indigenous and have been achieved with the efforts of young scientists amid sanctions imposed on the country, he said that the missiles with high accuracy and with a range of up to 2,000 kilometers are stationed in underground bases.
