Iran says it has built new drone
[Al Ahram] Iran's defense minister says Iran has built a new, radar-evading drone that can do surveillance and fire on enemy targets.
The semi-official Fars news agency on Thursday quoted Gen. Ahmad Vahidi as saying that the new aircraft -- dubbed Epic, or Hemaseh in Farsi -- can fly at high altitudes.
He did not elaborate on its capabilities.
In recent years, Iran has been pursuing a drone program alongside its military program, which has aimed to produce missiles, jet fighters, destroyers, light submarines and torpedoes.
