The exhibition also featured a number of drones, including an FPV segment. In particular, the stand featured a sample of a kamikaze drone with a B1 index. It is equipped with a 2 kg anti-personnel or high-explosive warhead. The declared range is up to 12 km with flying time of up to 25 minutes. The drone is equipped with a 10x zoom camera. It should be noted that the second and larger drone, which is located nearby, may play the role of a repeater or can be a reconnaissance drone.
Shahed-136 kamikaze drone was shown at the exhibition under the name Geran-2. The Iranians showed the Mohajer-6 reconnaissance and strike UAV that has been used by the russian federation since October 2022 ss well as the Bavar-5 long-range kamikaze drone, which is a variation of the Ababil-2.
The Iranians also presented russians the more powerful Mohajer-10 drone, which is a visual copy of the American MQ-9 Reaper.
Karrar drone was also noticed. This is not a new development but based on the American MQM-107 Streaker target drone. It is known that Iranians turned it into a fighter drone in 2023.
For this purpose, they installed missiles from the AD-08 Majid short-range air defense system that was also demonstrated at the exhibition.
A separate segment of the exposition was occupied by radars made in Iran. The R217 radar was demonstrated for the first time.
In addition, the LRHR-500 early warning radar became a certain Iranian premiere. It operates at a frequency of 25-30 MHz, has the ability to detect stealthy aircraft and is highly resistant to electronic warfare.
The photos also show tires and landing gear for civilian aircraft. These were also developments that Iran offers to russia. These products have been blocked by sanctions for many years. That is why Iran is trying to produce something on its own.
Earlier Defense Express reported russia had sent S-400 SAM systems and specialists to Iran to protect Nuclear facilities.
