Army’s drones destroy all targets during drill
The spokesman of the Iranian Army’s joint exercise said homegrown kamikaze and combat drones have successfully hit all their targets during the maneuver.
Brigadier General Alireza Sheikh said on Wednesday that the anti-radar unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Omid detected its target in the drill that is being held in seven border provinces by four divisions of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army.
Also, the Arash zamikaze drone successfully annihilated land and sea targets, he added.
Sheikh described the use of smart bombs as one of the main features of the exercise.
“During the drill, kamikaze and combat drone systems were able to hit all predicted targets in a pinpointed manner using smart ammunition,” he said.
The drill saw the mass flight of UAVs from various ground, underground and sea bases to carry out operations which were unprecedented in scope.
“The ability of mass flights using artificial intelligence is one of the innovative measures in the Islamic Republic of Iran Army’s operation of drones,” he said.
Meanwhile, in an aerial battle, a drone targeted another with a missile and destroyed it, head of Air Defense Force Brig. Gen. Alireza Sabahifard said.
