Iran unveils attack drone

Rico's friend Kelley forwards this from Yahoo!News:

Iran has unveiled a missile-equipped drone with a range of two thousand kilometers, the official IRNA news agency recently reported. "The Fotros drone has an operational range of two thousand kilometers, and can fly at an altitude of 25,000 feet, with a flight time of sixteen to thirty hours," Defence Minister Mohammad Dehgan was quoted as saying. Dehgan said the new drone could carry out reconnaissance missions, or launch air-to-surface missile strikes.
The aircraft was tested "successfully" and "shows that sanctions imposed by the enemies are not an obstacle to the progress of the defence industry", the minister said at the unveiling ceremony.
In recent years, Iran has launched an ambitious drone program, causing worry in the United States and the West. In late September of 2013, the elite Revolutionary Guards announced the mass production of the Shahed 129 drone, which it said has a range of seventeen hundred kilometers, is capable of carrying eight missiles, and can fly for 24 hours. In the same month, Iran unveiled a reconnaissance drone named Yasseer, which was said to be capable of flying for eight hours with a range of two hundred kilometers nd at an altitude of 4,500 meters. Yasseer was based on the US ScanEagle drone, a model of which Tehran claimed to have captured in December of 2012 and reproduced since then.
The Iranian army also recently boasted that it was producing a series of drones called Rad-85.

Rico says nah, letting our drones get shot down without self-destructing couldn't possibly give the Iranians the technology...
