Report: Iran unveils locally-made reconnaissance drone

Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency is reporting that the country's army has unveiled a new locally-made reconnaissance drone that can stay aloft for up to six hours.

The Tasnim report today says the drone dubbed Mohajem 92 has a range of 500 kilometres with a maximum speed of 200 kph.

The report says it was manufactured by the self- sufficiency department of the Islamic Republic Air Force.

Since 1992, Iran has had a self-sufficiency military program to produce light and heavy weapons.
