Combat and surveillance drones: Iran has more than a dozen models of combat drones that can attack ground, sea or air targets and then return to base. Larger models, such as the Shahed-149, have ranges of 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) and can carry up to 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds) of munitions or electronic equipment.
Several of Iran’s drones were modeled on captured U.S. drones, including the Predator, Reaper, Sentinel and ScanEagle 5 as well as the Israeli Hermes drone.
