Iran unveiled its latest jet-powered reconnaissance and attack drone, the Shahed-161. The drone's primary purpose is reconnaissance and surveillance, and it can also be used for border patrol. The drone is believed to be a reverse-engineered version of the American RQ-170 Sentinel, with the Iranian version being 40% smaller. It can also carry two bombs weighing up to 50 kilograms. If the drone proves successful, it could be produced in Russia as well. The Shahed-161, weighing 170 kg, has a range of 150-300 km and can remain airborne for approximately 2-3 hours. It can fly at an altitude of up to 9,000 meters and a cruising speed of approximately 135 km/h.
