Iran Builds Pilotless Drone

by Imran Schah    February 18, 2009

Tehran, Iran: Iran has built the unmanned aircraft with the range of more than 600 miles, enough to reach Israel, a top Iranian defense official said.

Deputy defense minister Ahmed Vahidi said that he could not provide more details, but the making of the pilotless aircraft, is a great achievement.

Iran says that it is fighting an intelligence battle with United States and Israel, which accuse Iran of seeking to build nuclear weapons.

In 2005, Iran had accused United States pilotless drones flying over Iran’s airspace and spying on its military and nuclear installations.

Iran has developed an unmanned aircraft, with radar-evading devices that would be able to attack an enemy target with being detected.
