Iran unveils advanced ‘Mohajer-10’ drone: Report

 


The Islamic Republic of Iran has unveiled an advanced drone, named "Mohajer-10," with an enhanced flight range and duration, as reported by Iranian state media.

On Tuesday, the authorities in Iran unveiled the new homemade drone with an operational range of 2,000 km and a greater payload that can reach 300 kg. The new drone can fly for up to 24 hours and has double the capacity of the "Mohajer-6" drone. Mohajer-10 UAV fuel capacity is 450 liters. The new drones are capable of carrying ammunition and bombs and are equipped with intelligence systems.

The new drone was unveiled in the presence of Ebrahim Raisi, the President of Iran. Other Iranian officials were also present during the unveiling ceremony. 

In recent years, Iranian military experts have made a broad range of indigenous equipment and drones. Earlier, Iran also manufactured Mohajer-6, a mid-range combat drone with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. The drones have the capability of carrying laser-guided munitions.

Earlier, the United States accused the Islamic Republic of Iran of providing Mohajer-6 drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles to Russia to use in its war against Ukraine. According to claims made by the United States and other Western nations, Iranian military troops were stationed in Crimea with drones to assist Russian forces in their war against Ukrainian forces. The West retaliated by imposing sanctions on Iran. However, the Iranian authorities have repeatedly denied such claims.

The United States and other Western nations have given Ukraine top-notch military hardware to help the country amid the conflict. 

In June, the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi, rallied against the US sanctions. During his visit to Nicaragua, he said, "The United States wanted to paralyze our people with threats and sanctions, but it hasn't been able to do it."

Sky Care: How the UAE’s First Hospital Vertiport is Redefining Emergency Response

  Imagine a critical patient, a time-sensitive organ for transplant, or a specialist medical team needed across a bustling city. On the ground, traffic is a formidable adversary, where every minute lost can alter outcomes. Now, imagine that same journey taking minutes instead of an hour, not by navigating the roads, but by soaring gracefully above them. This is not a scene from a sci-fi film; it is the new reality in the United Arab Emirates. In a landmark move that solidifies its position on the global stage of innovation, the UAE has officially launched the nation’s — and the region’s — first hospital-based vertiport at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. This isn’t just a helipad with a new name. It is the cornerstone of a fully integrated, city-wide advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem, marking a profound convergence of cutting-edge aviation, AI-driven healthcare, and sustainable infrastructure. The Launch of a Lifesaving Corridor The project is a powerful collaboration between aviati...

Three Houses, One Vision – How the UAE’s Abrahamic Family House is Redefining Inter-Faith Dialogue

  When you step onto the stone-plinth of the Abrahamic Family House on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, you are not just visiting a building. You are entering a bold statement: a mosque, a church and a synagogue standing side-by-side, equal in size and purpose, sharing common ground while respecting their separate faiths. A landmark of coexistence In early 2023 the UAE inaugurated this pioneering complex, inviting worshippers and visitors alike. The architecture — designed to give each of the three faith-homes the same external dimensions and to signal equality — allows each to express its own traditions while remaining visibly part of a unified vision. More than 200 nationalities live in the UAE, which means the project reflects a multicultural reality in which multiple faiths and identities coexist daily. Islam’s role in the vision For Muslim-majority audiences in the Gulf, the Abrahamic Family House sends a resonant message: Islam does not fear dialogue — it embraces it. The m...

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business. This has triggered record  FDI inflows , with the UAE securing its position as the 16th largest global destination for foreign direct investment. The narrative is supported by hard data: a GDP growth projection of 4.6% in 2025...
