Iran's drone program is built on the Predator. The Predator is a U.S. Air Force model. The Shahed 129, a model of the Predator's Shahed 129, was launched in 2010. Iran also developed an airstrip in Jakigur for 2015 as well. One of the few drones named after an American action hero was Shahed 129.
Mohajer-2
The Mohajer-2 is a modified version of the Mohajer. It is more versatile in terms of operational range and navigation. The Iranian Air Force created the Mohajer-2, which took over the production of the original Mohajer. The Mohajer-2 was 9 feet long and measured 12.5 feet in wingspan. It had a WAE-342 2 stroke engine of 25 horsepower that could also be used as a pusher propeller. It had straight fuselage with wing tips that clipped and mainplanes that ran near the midships.
Iranian authorities have converted their Mohajers Ababils and Mohajers to advanced UAVs. UN Peacekeepers inquired about the presence in Sudan of drones. In 2008, Iran's government answered that the drones were Zagils. Two of the drones were shot down by rebels in Sudan. Venezuela then purchased the Mohajer-2 UAVs, but was unable to detect them.
Karrar interceptor
The Karrar Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles and one-way missiles is called. The drone's wings allow it to fly at high speeds and altitudes. The drone has the ability to perform both types of missions and record images of targets for the ground control systems. It can also carry munition. It is believed to be able to carry a 500-lb unitary explosive bomb as well as two smaller weapons. Both the Israelis and the drones nearby would be killed if they were to shoot it down.
The Karrar unmanned aircraft vehicle is a clone the Beechcraft MQM-107 Streaker. It was used as a military target by the United States, and exported to Iran under the Shah's regime. The Iranians reverse-engineered this aircraft to make the Karrar. It can fly at 500 mph and can carry 250-pound anti-ship missiles as well as a GPS-guided missile or small cruise missile.
FAQ
How high can you fly a drone without a license?
The FAA has no limits on the maximum height a drone can fly. However, you must register your unmanned aircraft system (UAS), which includes the registration numbers, model name and weight, size, serialnum, manufacturer's name and date manufactured.
What kind of batteries does a drone use?
Lithium-ion batteries are the most common type of battery for drones. A typical drone runs on between 3 and 6-volts.
What US states are drones legal?
Legally, you can operate a drone to perform hobby tasks. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has issued guidelines that allow you to use small unmanned aircraft systems (UASs). Before they can be flown, these UASs need to be registered with FAA. If certain conditions are met the FAA will allow commercial operators to fly these drones.
What's the difference between quadcopters and hexacopters?
A quadcopter, a four-rotor helicopter, flies just like a helicopter. The quadcopter has four independent rotors. The hexacopter looks similar to a quadcopter, but it has six rotors rather than four. Hexacopters can be more stable and maneuverable that quadcopters.
What is the best drone to buy for beginners?
The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ drone is a popular choice for beginners. This drone comes with a 4K camera which can be used to take aerial photos and videos. This drone can be navigated using the built-in GPS.
What law applies to drones that fly over private property?
The FAA has recently issued new rules for commercial drone flights. These rules apply to UAVs with a weight less than 55lbs and that fly at a height of below 400 feet from the ground. Commercial operators will need to register with FAA and get a license from agency. They will also require permission from local authorities to operate near airports and other restricted areas.

How To
Repairing A Drone's Damaged Motor
To repair a motor damaged, the first step is to identify which part is broken. The easiest way to do this is to remove the propeller from the motor shaft. You should then remove the wires that are attached to the motor, and examine the inner workings. If there is something wrong with the motor, you will know which part you need to repair.
If there is no damage to the motor, then you don't have to worry too much however if the motor looks like one of these images below, then you'll need to replace some components before you can fly again.
Suppose a motor has been bent up so it won't turn anymore. The motor will need to be bent back into its original shape. For this purpose, you could use a vice grip to hold the motor and bend it back into shape. After you're done, check your motor for signs of wear.
Once everything is in order, attach the propeller to the motor shaft. Your drone is now ready for flight!
