In August 2022, there were reports that Iran is supplying Russia with a stealth Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV, also known as a ‘drone’). This is feasible because, during the U.S. President Barack Obama regime, Iran was able to capture a U.S. stealth drone in 2011, and they successfully reverse engineered it.
It was the current regime of U.S. President Joseph Robinette Biden Junior that made the claim that Iran was supplying Russia with the UAVs. It should be noted that the Biden regime got its information from the Washington Post. Russian official Dmitry Sergeyevich Peskov says the Washington Post is well known for “information stuffing”.
The Washington Post also claims that Iran sent Russia its Shahed-191 Stealth drone. Video purporting to show Iranian copies of U.S. stealth UAVs in flight:
However, the Biden regime specifically mentioned two Iranian drones; the Mohajer-6 and the Shahed-129, neither of which are considered stealth and they are not copies of the U.S. stealth UAV.
The Mohajer (Migrant)-6 is an evolution of a family of UAVs developed specifically by the Revolutionary Guards. Apparently the Iranian Army has only three of them, while the Revolutionary Guards has at least 50. It looks like a reduced scale version of the old U.S. OV-10 Bronco observation/close support aircraft. Reportedly, Venezuela made a deal to build this drone itself.
There are several generations of the Shahed (Witness)-129, and the most recent version looks similar to the U.S. MQ-9 Reaper and the Israeli Hermes 900.
The Shahed-129 prototype (and first generation Shaheds) look to be reverse engineered/direct copied from an Israeli Hermes 450 UAV that crashed and was acquired by Iran. Iran has already exported the Hermes 450 version of their Shahed to Syria, to help fight the Western/NATO instigated Civil War.
Video from 2014, showing first generation Iranian Shahed-129 flying over Syria:
The U.S. stealth drone copy is known as the Saegheh (Thunderbolt). The U.S. version is the RQ-170 Sentinel. Iran has already evolved their Saegheh into several versions and claims they will be operating at least 50 of them by 2025. Iran sent Saeghehs to Syria, and Israel claims to have shot one down in 2018. There is confusion as the Saegheh has also been referred to as the Shahed.
The Shahed-191 is the armed version (two internal weapon bays) of the Saegheh, which can be launched from the back of Toyota pickups.
Iran claims all of its UAVs can carry weapons.
