Medium-range armed UAV with electro-optical and IR sensors for autonomous target detection. Can carry guided bombs and air-to-surface missiles.
Mohajer-6 has become one of Iran's most exported weapons systems, with Russia's acquisition of the platform for use in Ukraine representing a significant revenue source for Iran's aerospace industry. The aircraft's electro-optical targeting system can designate targets for laser-guided bombs dropped from altitude, providing a precision strike capability that Iran's conventional air force largely lacks. Russia's use of Mohajer-6 alongside Shahed loitering munitions in Ukraine represents the first large-scale combined employment of Iranian autonomous weapon systems in a major conventional war.
