Iran unveils maritime suicide drone
BY AFP October 26, 2016, 3:44 pm
TEHRAN, Iran Irans elite Revolutionary Guards said on Wednesday they had developed a suicide drone capable of delivering explosives to blow up targets at sea and on land.
The new drone is primarily for maritime surveillance and has not been designed to be armed with missiles, the Tasnim news agency, which is close to the Guards, reported.
(But) it can carry heavy payloads of explosives for combat missions to launch suicide attacks.
Flying at a high cruising speed near the surface of the water, the aircraft can collide with the target and destroy it, either a vessel or an onshore command center.
