The Iranian Air Defense�s unmanned aircraft equipped with air-to-air missiles, guns, and heavy bombs accomplished missions in a military exercise underway in Iran�s province of Semnan.

On the second day of the large-scale drone war game involving various divisions of the Iranian Army, the homegrown �Karrar� drones took the lead on Wednesday.

Acting as an interceptor aircraft for the Air Defense units, Karrar drones detonated hostile targets with �Azarakhsh� (lightning) air-to-air missiles at high altitudes.

The homegrown drones also hit other aerial targets with a mechanized gun and laid MK-82 bombs weighing 500 lb (227 kg) on ground targets and the hypothetical enemy�s fortifications.

The spokesperson for the war game said the Army�s combat drones also took part a massive patrol and surveillance operation to control the country�s boundaries with advanced electronic systems and optical devices.

Admiral Mahmoud Mousavi noted that the Iranian long-range combat drones are capable of hitting targets within a range of 2,000 kilometers.

Various pilotless aircraft are taking part in the drill for different operations including aerial interception, the launch of air-to-air missiles, detonation of ground targets with bombs and missiles with pinpoint accuracy, and suicide strikes.
