| [IsraelTimes] Al Jazeera claims Tehran increasingly using UAVs to monitor its airspace and track enemy fleets. "For Iran, [drones] comprise a new type of aerial fleet that avoids the technological complications of modern [manned] aviation," the report last week by journalist Nur Ad-Din al-Daghir said, according to a translation Wednesday by the Middle East Media Research Institute, MEMRI, which tracks Middle Eastern television broadcasts. The report quoted Dawoud Najafi-pour, of the Iran Aviation Industries Organization, claiming Tehran "is ranked fifth in the world in the field of manufacturing UAVs, and all this is due to local capabilities which we can develop even further." UAVs, Iranian officials told the network, can remain airborne for as long as 48 hours, be controlled remotely and strike targets as far as 1,000 kilometers from Iran’s borders. The report claimed Iran has already used drones to target Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... facilities in Syria and Kurdish forces in northern Iraq. Iran has been known to exaggerate the capabilities of its air force, and in August was ridiculed by Israel for allegedly presenting a retooled obsolete aircraft as a new "indigenous" fighter jet. |
