Iranian drones equipped with air-to-air missiles

2023-12-13

According to Agence France Presse on December 10th, Iran has equipped combat drones equipped with air-to-air missiles, enhancing its air defense capabilities. Agence France Presse quoted the Islamic Republic of Iran News Agency as saying: "Dozens of 'Karal' drones equipped with air-to-air missiles have joined the air defense in all border areas of Iran." The report stated that these drones with a combat range of up to 1000 kilometers were exhibited at a television live broadcast ceremony organized by a military academy in Tehran on the morning of the 10th. "The enemy will now have to rethink their strategy," as the Iranian army has "become increasingly powerful," according to General Abdul Raheem Mousavi, the commander-in-chief of the Iranian army, quoted by Izumi News Agency. The news agency also stated that the earliest version of the "Karal" interceptor drone was unveiled in 2010. The drone is equipped with a Majid missile with a range of 8 kilometers and is completely manufactured in Iran. Mousavi said that during the military exercise held in October, it "successfully passed operational tests.". The development of Iran's military arsenal has raised concerns among many countries, especially the United States and Israel, which are Iran's arch enemies, according to reports. Israel accuses Tehran of providing drone swarms to its allies in the Middle East, particularly the Lebanese Shia organization Hezbollah and the Yemeni organization Housa. According to reports, Iran also supports the Palestinian armed group Hamas. Since its deadly attack on October 7th, Hamas has been fighting against Israel. Kiev and its western allies accused Tehran of providing drones to Russia for the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Tehran denies this. But Western governments have imposed several rounds of severe sanctions on Iran under the pretext of selling weapons. (Compiled by Lu Di) (Le Xin She)
