Saegheh (UAV)

It was reported in September 2016 by the semi-official Tasnim news agency of Iran that an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, drone) named Saegheh similar in appearance to the US RQ-170 Sentinel spy drone had been built. It was said to be able to carry four precision-guided bombs. An RQ-170 had been captured five years before.[1] The Iranian Government did not provide a demonstration of the UAV flying, or state what its range was.[2]
