‘Devastating and cutting-edge’: Iran says Arash-2 drone will wipe out all threats within 2,000km range
Iran's Army Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Kiumars Heidari says the Arash-2 is one of the leading long-range drones with high precision and pinpoint accuracy.
The suicide Arash-2 is also a long-range and radar-evading research unmanned aerial vehicle with a high destructive capability, Heidari said on Monday.
He noted that the drone stands at the cutting edge of technology of the Iranian Army which has been designed and mass produced by the country’s defense industries experts.
Back in September 2022, Heidari said the advanced Arash-2 drone, which is a newer version of the previously unveiled Arash-1 aircraft, has been designed to target the coastal cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa in the Israeli-occupied territories in case of a military confrontation with the regime.
He explained that the drone enjoys unique specifications and capabilities, and can successfully retrieve information multiple times before it strikes and destroys the designated target.
Arash-1 drone is a kamikaze and radar-evading unmanned aerial vehicle first launched during the Iranian Army’s massive drone exercises in January 2019 from a portable launcher installed on the Makran coast in the southeastern part of the country.
The drone’s wing is of the delta type and has been designed for high speeds. Its design, therefore, enables the aircraft to conserve its fuel for greater endurance and flying longer distances.
Iran’s massive and rapid progress in drone technology and its capabilities to carry out long-range strikes in drone warfare with a high level of accuracy have further cemented the country’s growing military might in the West Asia.
The cutting-edge drone program has been among Iranian military’s breakthroughs in manufacturing a broad range of indigenous defensive equipment in order to make the armed forces self-sufficient in the face of years-long US threats and sanctions.
Iranian officials have repeatedly warned that the country will not hesitate to strengthen its military capabilities, including its missile power, which are entirely meant for defense, saying the Islamic Republic’s defense capabilities will be never subject to negotiations.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has repeatedly called for efforts to maintain and boost Iran’s defense capabilities, hitting back at the enemies for disputing the country’s missile program.
